Emerging evidence highlights that dysregulated lipid metabolism contributes to gastric cancer progression and prognosis, but the associations between lipid metabolism-associated genes, gastric cancer patient survival, and tumor immune microenvironment remodeling are not fully elucidated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed publicly available omics and clinical data, including RNA sequencing data from 371 gastric cancer samples in The Cancer Genome Atlas database and 433 gastric cancer samples in the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We first curated the top 100 lipid metabolism-associated genes based on relevance scores. Then, univariate Cox regression was used to identify genes significantly associated with overall survival. Consensus clustering was applied to these survival-related genes to define gastric cancer molecular subtypes. Copy number variation analysis was performed to assess genomic alterations of these genes in tumor samples. A prognostic risk model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and validated via multivariate Cox regression. Immune infiltration analysis using CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE algorithms was conducted to explore associations between lipid metabolism-associated genes and tumor immune microenvironment characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 3911 differentially expressed genes were identified between gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissues. Among the top 100 lipid metabolism-associated genes, 43 were significantly linked to patient survival, most of which were considered as poor prognostic factors. Copy number variation analysis revealed frequent copy number gains of these genes in tumor samples. Consensus clustering stratified patients into two molecular subtypes (LMAGcluster A and LMAGcluster B), with LMAGcluster A showing significantly worse survival outcomes (median survival: 2.6 years vs. 8.3 years in LMAGcluster B, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). LMAGcluster A was also characterized by elevated infiltration of pro-tumor immune cells, such as regulatory T cells and follicular helper T cells. The prognostic model based on 14\u2009key lipid metabolism-associated genes exhibited robust predictive performance, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of 0.702\u20130.761 in The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort and 0.621\u20130.638 in the Gene Expression Omnibus cohort for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lipid metabolism-associated genes are closely associated with gastric cancer prognosis and tumor immune microenvironment remodeling.
