We found that 13 PRGs (CHMP2A, GPX4, HMGB1, DHX9, BAX, TP53, BAK1, CASP3, DFNA5, CASP8, APIP, CHMP2B, and CYCS) were upregulated in HCC, while 22 genes (CHMP6, TNF, CHMP7, CASP5, NLRP3, IL1A, ZBP1, CHMP4A, PYCARD, CASP4, CASP1, GZMA, IL18, GZMB, AIM2, IL1B, IL6, NLRP1, NOD1, IRF2, PRKACA, and CASP9) were downregulated compared with normal liver. Here, IL1B is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
