Fig. 3From: Chronic osteomyelitis risk is associated with NLRP3 gene rs10754558 polymorphism in a Chinese Han PopulationExpression of the NLRP3 gene in osteoblasts. NLRP3 gene expression was analyzed in osteoblasts cultured under normal conditions (control) and those cultured in the presence of TNF-α (inflammatory microenvironment).
