Abstract

Cuprotosis is a new programmed cell death related to cancer. However, the characteristics of cuprotosis in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown. Ten cuprotosis molecules from 1544 GC patients were used to identify three GC molecular genotypes. Cluster A was characterized by the best clinical outcome and was significantly enriched in metabolic signaling pathways. Cluster B exhibited elevated immune activation, high immune stroma scores and was significantly enriched in tumor immune signaling pathways. Cluster C was characterized by severe immunosuppression and poor response to immunotherapy. Notably, the citrate cycle, cell cycle, and p53 signaling pathways were enriched in the differentially expressed genes among the three subtypes, which were critical signaling pathways for cell death. We also developed a cuprotosis signature risk score that could accurately predict the survival, immunity, and subtype of GC. This study presents a systematic analysis of cuprotosis molecules and provides new immunotherapeutic targets for GC patients.
