Differential NLRP3 inflammasome - associated gene expression levels. The expression of genes involved in breast carcinogenesis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation before and after (a) MCF-12A and (b) MDA-MB-231 cells` treatment with 100 nM PTX for 24 h. Statistical significance: ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 (n = 3, biological replicates).
