Objective To explore the effect of La-related protein 6 (LARP6) gene on the survival of postoperative patients with gastric cancer, and to explore its relationship with immune cell infiltration.Methods The clinical survival information and gene expression information of gastric cancer patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The relationship between LARP6 gene expression and clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed. Cox proportion hazard regression model was used to find out the prognostic risk factors of gastric cancer patients, and then Kaplan-Meier plotter database was used to verify. Then the correlation between LARP6 gene expression and immunity was proved by Tumor IMmune Estimation Resource (TIMER) immune database.Results In gastric cancer patients, the expression of LARP6 gene was related to pathological stage, T stage, and N stage (P<0.05), but not related to M stage and sex (P>0.05). Multivariate Cox proportion hazard regression analysis showed that age [HR=2.022, 95%CI was (1.287, 3.176), P=0.002] and LARP6 gene expression [HR=1.176, 95%CI was (1.070, 1.293), P<0.001] were prognostic factors. Further verified by Kaplan Meier plotter database, the results also showed that the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of gastric cancer patients with high expression of LAPR6 gene were worse than those with low expression of LARP6 gene (P<0.001). TIMER database was used to explore the correlation between the expression level of LARP6 gene and immune cell infiltration in patients with gastric cancer, and the results showed that the expression level of LARP6 gene in gastric cancer patients was positively correlated with the infiltration number of CD4+ T cells and macrophage cell (P<0.001). Log-rank results showed that infiltration number of macrophage cell and LARP6 gene expression were risk factors for clinical prognosis of gastric cancer patients (P<0.05).Conclusions Macrophage cell andcell and LARP6 gene expression are risk factors for gastric cancer patients. LARP6 may be a new target for the treatment of gastric cancer.
