Transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from children with measles shows upregulation of mRNAs for IL-1β, CIAS-1/NLRP3, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, CCL4/MIP-1β, CXCL2/GRO-β, CXCL8, and TNFAIP3/A20 consistent with NF-κB signaling and inflammasome priming [11]. Here, CXCL2 is linked to measles.
