Background: The human copper Cu proteome, also termed Cu-binding proteins (CBP), is responsible for transporting “free” Cu to the cell that is related to cuproptosis. However, their role in gastric cancer (GC) has not been reported. Methods: RNA expression data of 946 GC patients were collected. A series of machine learning and bioinformatic approaches were combined to build a CBP signature to predict survival and immune microenvironment and guide the priority treatment. Immunohistochemistry and multicolor immunofluorescence (mIF) in 1076 resection slides were used to verify immune features. Results: A CBP signature was constructed using the machine learning method from TCGA that classifies cases as CBP_low and CBP_high groups. Multivariable Cox analysis confirmed that the CBP signature was an independent prognostic factor in the training and validation cohorts. Additionally, GC patients with low CBPscores showed an increase in anti-tumor immune microenvironment, which was further verified by mIF in pathological resections following immunotherapy. Importantly, patients with low CBPscores had higher levels of TMB/MSI and responded well to immunotherapy. Conclusions: We conducted the first and comprehensive CBP analysis of GC patients and established a clinically feasible CBP signature for predicting survival and response to treatment, which will be helpful for guiding personalized medicine.
