Abstract Background Stomach adenocarcinomas (STAD) are the most common malignancy of the human digestive system and represent the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. As early-stage STAD are generally mild or asymptomatic, patients with advanced STAD have short overall survival. Early diagnosis of STAD has a considerable influence on clinical outcomes. Methods The mRNA expression data and clinical indicators of STAD and normal tissues were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The gene expression differences were analyzed by R packages, and gene function enrichment analysis was performed. Kaplan–Meier method and univariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis were used to screen differential expressed genes (DEGs) related to survival of STAD patients. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis was used to further screen and determine the prognostic DEGs in STAD patients, and to construct a multigene prognostic prediction signature. The accuracy of predictive signature was tested by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve software package, and the nomogram of patients with STAD was drawn. Cox regression was used to investigate the correlation between multigene prognostic signature and clinical factors. The predictive performance of this model was compared with two other models proposed in previous studies using KM survival analysis, ROC curve analysis, Harrell consistency index and decision curve analysis (DCA). qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to verify the expression levels of prognostic genes. The pathways and functions of possible involvement of features were predicted using the GSEA method. Results A total of 569 early-stage specific DEGs were retrieved from TCGA-STAD dataset, including 229 up-regulated genes and 340 down-regulated genes. Enrichment analysis showed that the early-stage specific DEGs were associated with cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, neuroactive ligand–receptor interaction, and calcium signaling pathway. Multiple Cox regression algorithm was used to identify 10 early-stage specific DEGs associated with overall survival (P |
