Abstract
Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the most common cancers in the world. However, the prognosis of STAD remains poor, and the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy and immunotherapy varies from person to person. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in tumor development and metastasis and can be used for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, hsa-miR-100-5p was identified as the only dysregulated miRNA in STAD samples through an analysis of three miRNA expression matrices. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to select hsa-miR-100-5p-related genes. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis was performed to establish a miR-100-5p-related prognostic signature. Kaplan–Meier analyses, nomograms, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic signature, which was subsequently identified as an independent risk factor for STAD patients. We investigated the tumor immune environment between low- and high-risk groups and found that, among component types, M2 macrophages contributed the most to the difference between these groups. A drug sensitivity analysis suggested that patients with high-risk scores may be more sensitive to docetaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy and that patients in the low-risk group may be more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Finally, external cohorts were evaluated to validate the robustness of the prognostic signature. In summary, this study may provide new ideas for developing more individualized therapeutic strategies for STAD patients.
