NLRs/inflammasome sensors may be either upstream regulators or downstream targets of nuclear receptors in human tissues (tissues: adipose, brain, eye, heart, kidney, liver, lymph node, muscle, pancreas, skin, spleen). a Correlation between inflammasome genes and highly expressed nuclear receptors. b Different correlation tiers show the level of statistically significant correlation between inflammasome genes and highly expressed nuclear receptors.
