Obesity-associated NLRC4 inflammasome activation drives breast cancer progression
2016
Obesity is associated with higher breast cancer risk and poor prognosis. Here, the authors show that obesity promotes breast cancer through the recruitment of macrophages with activated NLRC4 inflammasome, which activate IL-1β production, resulting in VEGFA expression in adipocytes and angiogenesis.
