Fig. 1. CD44s is positively related to caspase-1/IL1B pathway.

Fig. 1

a Positive correlation between CD44 mRNA and genes involved in the caspase-1/IL1B pathway, such as CASP1, NLRP3, and IL1B. Relevant data were extracted from UCSC Xena for correlation analysis. b Positive correlation between CD44 mRNA and genes involved in the caspase-1/IL1B pathway, such as CASP1, NLRP3, and IL1B. Relevant data were extracted from GEPIA for correlation analysis. c Expression of CD44 mRNA and genes involved in the caspase-1/IL1B pathway in tumor or non-tumor tissues. Relevant data were extracted from GEPIA. “T” represents tumor tissues referred to red column. d mRNA expression of genes involved in the caspase-1/IL1B pathway in HCC tissues with high or low CD44 mRNA expression. n = 50. e, f Representative images of IHC staining CD44s, NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL1B in HCC samples and IHC scores were analyzed. Scale bars, 100 µm. Data are means ± SEM from 3 independent experiments, * means p < 0.05, ** means p < 0.01, *** means p < 0.001 by unpaired student t test.
