NLRP3 and hepatocellular carcinoma: The expression of N-cadherin was significantly decreased in NLRP3 KO(−/−) HCC metastatic liver tissues as compared with NLRP3 WT(+/+) HCC metastatic liver tissues, and this was lowest when NK-92 cells were treated (Figure 6A, upper panel and Figure 6B, n = 4; p < 0.05).
