Metabolism-associated molecular classification of gastric adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Most gastric cancers (GC) are adenocarcinomas, whereas GC is a highly heterogeneous disease due to its molecular heterogeneity. However, traditional morphology-based classification systems, including the WHO classification and Lauren's classification, have limited utility in guiding clinical treatment. We performed nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) clustering based on 2752 metabolism-associated genes. We characterized each of the subclasses from multiple angles, including subclass-associated metabolism signatures, immune cell infiltration, clinic10al characteristics, drug sensitivity, and pathway enrichment. As a result, four subtypes were identified: immune suppressed, metabolic, mesenchymal/immune exhausted and hypermutated. The subtypes exhibited significant prognostic differences,
