The present work set out to classify cell subpopulations related liver metastasis from gastric cancer (GC) and the mechanisms of their interactions with other immune subpopulations. GC is characterized by a high degree heterogeneity metastasis. Exploring mechanism perspective tumor microenvironment (TME) might help improve efficacy treatment. Based on cellular subpopulation characteristics metastasis, regulatory contributing progression were analyzed, special focuses roles signaling pathways, transcription factors (TFs) ligand–receptor pairs. GSE163558 dataset was downloaded Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database collect single-cell transcriptomic data patients groups for clustering relevant analyses. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in screened subjected Ontology (GO) Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. SCENIC analysis used mine TFs that affected during GC. relative expression levels determined using qRT-PCR. Transwell wound healing assays utilized verify regulation migration invasion cells. Interaction network between developed applying CellChat. Single-cell performed group six major subpopulations, namely, Myeloid cells, B Mast Epithelial Fibroblasts, TNK among which number cells significantly increased group. enriched pathways mainly included IL-17 Pi3k–Akt pathways. subsets could be further categorized into CD8 T Exhausted NK NKT Treg showing more FOS JUNB marker contributed lines. Significant differences communication pairs existed groups. This study revealed critical role transcriptomics findings provided an important theoretical basis developing novel therapies inhibit
