Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 6 | STAT3/NF-κB inhibitors decreased pyroptosis following P. aeruginosa infection. MH-S cells pretreated with 10 µm stattic (the inhibitor of Stat3 activation) for 30 min, or BAY (the inhibitor of NF kappa B activation) for 1 h, were challenged with bacteria at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 for 2 h. Cell lysis and supernatants were used for western blot and ELISA analysis, respectively. (A,B) Western blot analysis of STAT3, p-STAT3, NF-κB/p65, p-NF-κB/p65, and GSDMD. (C–H) TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were assessed by ELISA (n = 3). Error bars represent the mean ± s.d. One-way ANOVA with a post-hoc Tukey test was performed for comparison of means of groups.
