IL18 and ovarian carcinoma: Figure 5 shows that the expression level of NLRP3, IL-18, IL-1β, and cleaved caspase-1 was significantly reduced following NLRP3 knockdown in both SKOVE/DDP cells and A2780/DDP cells, demonstrating that silencing of NLRP3 inactivated NLRP3 inflammasome in DDP-resistant ovarian cancer cells.
