Furthermore, the iPolyP/TRPM8 axis indirectly promotes tumor growth through activation of the Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, Leucine-rich Repeat and Pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in immune cells, leading to increased levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby advancing CRC. Here, IL1B is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
