NLRP3 knockdown decreases OSCC cell proliferation. WSU-HN6 and CAL27 cells were transfected with shNLRP3 or mock vector. a Cell proliferative abilities of the cells were examined by the MTT assay. b OSCC cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 800 cells/well. After 2 weeks, the cell clones were stained and photographed. c Histograms demonstrated the numbers of colonies in each group. One representative experiment out of three is shown (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
