To identify the hub radiosensitivity genes and CD19 status, 407 patients were categorized into two groups: radiosensitivity (RS) and radioresistance (RR) based on the prognosis. The chi-square test, Mann–Whitney test, and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis were applied to compare the differential expression in these groups and analyze the correlation between the gene expression and clinical outcome and features. Finally, the influencing factors for the prognosis of GC were investigated by multiple Cox regression, especially in RS patients.Results: A total of 15 differential expression genes, containing two communities with 8 hub radiosensitivity genes, were identified. We also identified a 2-gene signature model with a negative coefficient and calculated the risk score for the prognosis of GC. Also, Helicobacter pylori infection was validated, and the high-risk score of radiosensitivity genes was the risk factor, and high CD19 expression was the protective factor for the prognosis.Conclusion: The radiosensitivity gene signature and CD19 expression predicted the clinical outcome of GC patients.Keywords: gastric cancer, radiosensitivity genes, CAR-T cell therapy, TCGA database |
