Interestingly, abnormal expression of NLRP3 and GSDMD is increased in gastric cancer tissue promotes GC cells proliferation and tumorigenesis via inducing Cyclin D1 (CCND1) and cell cycle-related proteins expression[13, 27], while high expression of GSDME in gastric cancer cells undergo the switch from caspase-3 dependent apoptosis to pyroptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs[15]. The gene discussed is NLRP3; the disease is gastric cancer.
