Similar to AIM2, another inflammasome, the NOD‐like receptor pyrin domain containing‐3 (NLRP3), inhibited lung cancer and colorectal cancer metastasis by suppressing natural killer cell‐mediated responses (Chow et al., 2012; Dupaul‐Chicoine et al., 2015). The gene discussed is AIM2; the disease is lung carcinoma.
