Neutrophil extracellular trap genes predict immunotherapy response in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) is associated with host response, tumorigenesis, and immune dysfunction. However, the link between NET and the tumor microenvironment (TME) of gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. Our study aims to characterize the expression patterns of NET-related genes and their relationships with clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis, TME features, and immunotherapy efficacy in GC cohorts.

Methods

Transcriptomic and single-cell RNA sequencing profiles of GC with annotated clinicopathological data were obtained from TCGA-STAD (n = 415), GSE62254 (n = 300), GSE15459 (n = 192), and GSE183904 (n = 26). The consensus cluster algorithm was used to classify tumor samples into different NET-related clusters. A NET-related signature was cons
