1 Further investigation showed that intracellular ROS induced by 5-FU promoted the expression and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and increased the production of interleukin (IL)-1beta, which then mediated the chemoresistance. Reactive Oxygen Species interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
2 CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that NLRP3 inflammasome promoted 5-FU resistance of OSCC both in vitro and in vivo, and targeting the ROS/NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1beta signaling pathway may help 5-FU-based adjuvant chemotherapy of OSCC. Reactive Oxygen Species interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
