Background: Hypoxia and immune components significantly shape the tumor microenvironment and influence prognosis and immunotherapy response in gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to develop hypoxia- and immune-related gene signatures for prognostic evaluation in GC. Methods: Transcriptomic data from TCGA-STAD were integrated with hypoxia- and immune-related genes from InnateDB and MSigDB. A prognostic gene signature was constructed using Cox regression analyses and validated on an independent GSE84437 cohort and single-cell RNA dataset. We further analyzed immune cell infiltration, molecular characteristics of different risk groups, and their association with immunotherapy response. Single-cell RNA-seq data from the TISCH database were used to explore gene expression patterns across cell types. Results: Five genes (TGFB3, INHA, SERPINE1, GPC3, SRPX) were identified. The risk score effectively stratified patients by prognosis, with the high-risk group showing lower overall survival and lower T-cell expression. The gene signature had an association with immune suppression, ARID1A mutation, EMT features, and poorer response to immunotherapy. Gene signature, especially SRPX was enriched in fibroblasts. Conclusions: We developed a robust hypoxia- and immune-related gene signature that predicts prognosis and may help guide immunotherapy strategies for GC patients.
