摘要

Background

The metabolism of stearoyl-GPE plays a key role in the liver metastasis of gastric cancer. This investigation delves into the mechanisms underlying the intricate tumor microenvironment (TME) heterogeneity triggered by stearoyl metabolism in gastric cancer with liver metastasis (LMGC), offering novel perspectives for LMGC.

Objective

Utilizing Mendelian randomization, we determined that stearoyl metabolism significantly contributes to the progression of gastric cancer (GC). Following this, bulk transcriptome analyses and single-cell multiomics techniques to investigate the roles of stearoyl-GPE metabolism-related genes, particularly NCOA4, in regulating LMGC TME.

Results

Our analysis highlights the crucial role of stearoyl metabolism in modulating the complex microenvironment of LMGC, particularly impacting monocyte cells. Through single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we have identified key metabolic genes specific to stearoyl metabolism within the monocyte cell population, including NCOA4. Regarding the relationship between ferroptosis, stearoyl metabolism, and LMGC findings, it is plausible that stearoyl metabolism and LMGC pathways intersect with mechanisms involved in ferroptosis. Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, represents a regulated form of cell death. The activity of Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), a critical enzyme in stearoyl metabolism, has been associated with the modulation of lipid composition and susceptibility to ferroptosis. Furthermore, the LMGC is integral to cellular processes related to oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, both of which are significant factors in the context of ferroptosis.

Conclusion

This study enhances the understanding of the relationship between stearoyl metabolism and ferroptosis in promoting liver metastasis of gastric cancer and its role in the regulation of tumor heterogeneity. In addition, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of gastric cancer tumor microenvironment (TME) and provides a basis for the development of better interventions to combat cancer metastasis.
