It was also observed that the levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components were upregulated in the glomeruli of LN patients and that CD36 expression was positively correlated with NLRP3 expression (r = 0.545, p < 0.01), CASP1 (r = 0.761, p < 0.001), and IL1B (r = 0.622, p < 0.001) (Fig. 1D). This evidence concerns the gene NLRP3 and lobular neoplasia.
