Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the most common malignancies. But the molecular mechanism is unknown. In this study, we downloaded the transcriptional profiles and clinical data of 344 STAD and 30 normal samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Stromal and immune scores of STAD were calculated by the Estimation of Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE) algorithm, and association of stromal/immune scores with tumor differentiation/T/N/M stage and survival was investigated. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high and low score groups (based on media) were identified, and prognostic genes over-/underexpressed in both STAD and stromal/immune signature were retrieved. Furthermore, proportions of 22 infiltrating immune cells for the cohort from TCGA were estimated by the Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithm, and association of 22 immune cells with tumor differentiation/T/N/M stage and survival was investigated. Next, coexpression analysis of 22 immune cells and intersection genes over-/underexpressed in both STAD and stromal signature was conducted. We found high stromal and immune scores and macrophage infiltration predicting poor tumor differentiation and severe local invasion, obtained a list of prognostic genes based on stromal-immune signature, and explored the interaction of collagen, chemokines such as CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and macrophage through coexpression analysis and may provide novel prognostic biomarkers and immunotherapeutic targets for STAD.
