IL6 and skin basal cell carcinoma: While genes encoding inflammatory markers such as IL1B and IL6 show an upregulation trend in CAFs as compared to NFs (IL1B: ~ 2.5 and ~ 1.2 average fold change in BCC and SCC CAFs, respectively; IL6: ~ 5.8 and ~ 1.9 average fold change in BCC and SCC CAFs, respectively), the high variability among biological replicates of NFs and CAFs reduced power to detect statistical significance.
