TNF and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Furthermore, in DLBCL, there was a significant positive correlation between STING expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (r = 3.02, P < 0.001), TNF-α signaling via NFKB (r = 2.82, P < 0.001), coagulation (r = 2.77, P < 0.001), inflammatory response (r = 2.70, P < 0.001), and interferon-gamma response (r = 2.66, P < 0.001).
