The expression levels of DEPRGs were displayed in the heatmap, indicating that GSDMA, CASP6, ZBP1, CHMP4C, IL1A, AIM2, NLRP2, and NLRP7 were significantly elevated, whereas the expression of IL6 was markedly reduced in BLCA samples compared with those in controls (Fig. 1C). This evidence concerns the gene IL1A and bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
