SUCNR1 and inflammasome components are increased and positively correlated in surgical resections from UC patients. (a) Graphs show mRNA expression of SUCNR1, NLPR3, CASP-1, IL1B, IL18 and ASC in intestinal resections from UC patients (n = 25) and non-IBD patients (n = 30). (b) Graphs show protein expression of SUCNR1, NLRP3 and Caspase-1/pro-Caspase-1 (n = 15). Bars in graphs represent mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05 vs. non-IBD patients. (c) Graphs show the correlations between data relative to mRNA expression of SUCNR1 vs. mRNA expression of the inflammasome components NLRP3, CASP1, IL1B and IL18 (expressed as ΔCt). In each correlation, the value of the Spearman’s correlation coefficient (R) and p value are shown.
