Results: We demonstrate that NLRP7 (i) functions in an inflammasome-dependent and -independent manners in HTR8/SVneo and JEG-3 cells, respectively; (ii) differentially regulates the activity of NF-κB in tumor and non-tumor cells; (iii) increases malignant cell survival, dedifferentiation, and camouflage; and (iv) facilitates tumor cells colonization of the lungs in the preclinical model of GC. Here, NLRP7 is linked to neoplasm.
