Figure Lengend Snippet: GSDMB silencing attenuates the malignant properties and modulates 5-FU induced pyroptosis related responses in SCC25 cells. A IHC analysis of GSDMB expression in OSCC tissues and normal oral mucosa (n = 40). B – C Western blot analysis of GSDMB protein levels in HOK and OSCC cell lines and in SCC25 cells following siRNA transfection. D Cell viability assessed by the CCK-8 assay. E Representative images and quantification of colony formation. F Wound healing assay evaluating cell migration. G Transwell invasion assay. H Dose–response curves and corresponding IC50 values for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). I Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay assessing 5-FU induced lytic cell death. J – K ELISA quantification of IL-1β and IL-18 levels in culture supernatants after 5-FU treatment. (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001)
