In detail, the expression levels of AIM2, IL1B, IL6, NLRC4, NLRP3, NLRP6, NLRP7, TNF, GZMB, and MEFV were decreased, while the expression levels of CASP3, CASP8, GPX4, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, DFNA5, NLRP1, NOD1, NOD2, PLCG1, and PYCARD were increased in HCC samples compared with normal tissues. This evidence concerns the gene PYCARD and hepatocellular carcinoma.
