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). Here, IL6 is linked to bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
