Pyroptosis may participate in esophageal cancer progression. Isolation of esophageal cancer tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues and extraction of the whole nucleic acid and protein. Immunohistochemical staining of caspase-1 (A), IL-1β (B) and IL-18 (C) in adjacent normal tissues and esophageal cancer tissues. D. The mRNA expression levels of caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 were detected by real-time PCR. E. The protein expression levels of caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 were detected by western blotting. The data are representative of five independent experiments and represent the means ± SD. ***, p<0.001.
