Abstract

Objective This study aims to develop a prognostic risk prediction model for gastric cancer based on m1A/m5C/m6A/m7G regulated genes and to investigate the relationship between this model and immunology. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) gastric cancer dataset was utilized to identify m1A/m5C/m6A/m7G regulated genes with significant expression differences. A prognostic risk score (RS) model was constructed using univariate Cox regression analysis and the LASSO algorithm. The RS model was validated using the Kaplan?Meier (K?M) statistic and cell lines for RT?qPCR biological validation. A nomogram model was created using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The CIBERSORT algorithm and ESTIMATE package were employed to conduct immune correlation analysis. Results A prognostic RS model based on eight methylation regulated genes was developed to classify patients with gastric cancer as high?risk or low?risk. These eight genes showed significant expression in gastric cancer cell lines (P < 0.05). The TCGA?gastric cancer training set and GSE62254?validation set showed a substantial connection (P < 0.001) between overall survival rate (OS) and grouping status. The nomogram survival models accurately predicted 1?year (C?index = 0.703), 3?year (C?index = 0.729), and 5?year (C?index = 0.734) survival rates. Immune correlation analysis showed that compared to the low?risk group, the high?risk group had higher immune scores and higher expression of immune checkpoint?related genes (P < 0.05). Conclusion We created a reliable prognostic RS model based on m1A/m5C/m6A/m7G regulated genes that can predict gastric cancer prognosis and guide individualized immunotherapy decisions.
