Expression analysis of inflammasome sensors and implication of NLRP12 inflammasome in prostate cancer

Abstract Inflammasomes are multi-proteins complex regulating inflammation-associated signaling. While inflammation plays a critical role in cancer cell growth, studies remain uncharacterized on the role of inflammasomes in prostate cancer. Using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) public datasets, we scre...
