Purpose. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a member of the SFRP family, which functions as either a tumor suppressor or a prooncogenic factor in distinct tumor types. Our research aimed to explore the expression of SFRP4 in gastric cancer, its prognostic significance, and its relationship with immune cell infiltration. Materials and Methods. Gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue specimens from surgically resected gastric cancer patients were collected to construct tissue microarrays, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of SFRP4, PD-L1, CD3(+)T, CD4(+)T, and CD8(+)T in these microarrays. The differential expression of SFRP4 and its relationship with the immune microenvironment were evaluated using the TIMER and TISIDB databases. Finally, patient survival was assessed. Results. SFRP4 expression was elevated in gastric cancer tissues and linked to a poor prognosis (P=0.021). The 5-year survival rate for patients with high SFRP4 expression was only 39.81% but reached 60.02% for patients with low SFRP4 expression. Increased SFRP4 expression correlated with high CD8(+) T-cell infiltration (P=0.015) and positive PD-L1 expression (P=0.036). High SFRP4 expression was an independent predictor of overall survival (P=0.024 in univariable analysis, P=0.011 in multivariable analysis). Using online databases, we found that SFRP4 expression was higher in gastric cancer tissues and substantially was associated with the immune microenvironment. Conclusion. SFRP4 is an oncogenic driver that can predict patient survival time in gastric cancer, as well as an important immune-related factor. SFRP4 may be important for guiding immunotherapy in gastric cancer patients.
