Figure Lengend Snippet: A Volcano plot of differentially expressed genes between gastric cancer and adjacent non-tumor tissues. B Venn diagram showing the overlap of GC-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with ferroptosis-related genes (FerrDb) and mitochondrial dysfunction-related genes (MitoProteome). Prognostic gene screening based on overall survival using Univariate Cox regression ( C ), LASSO Cox analysis ( D , E ), Boruta ( F ), and Random Forest ( G ). H Upset plot showing ALDH3A2, PDK4, and GJA1 as common candidate genes identified across all machine learning methods. I Immunohistochemistry images of ALDH3A2, PDK4, and GJA1 proteins from the Human Protein Atlas. J Relative mRNA expression of ALDH3A2 in GES-1, SGC7901, MGC803, HGC27, and MKN45 cells assessed by qRT-PCR (n = 4). K Protein expression of ALDH3A2 in GES-1, SGC7901, MGC803, HGC27, and MKN45 cells were assessed by immunoblotting (n = 4). L Relative mRNA expression of PDK4 and GJA1 in GES-1, HGC27, and MGC803 cells assessed by qRT-PCR (n = 4). Statistical significance was determined by an unpaired Student’s t-test. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; n.s., not significant.
