Figure Lengend Snippet: LPS induced cell pyroptosis, apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion in both IUA mice and cellular models. The expression status of (a) NLRP3, ASC and N-Gasdermin D, and (b) cleaved caspase-3 and Bax were detected by performing Western blot analysis. The pro-inflammatory cytokines generation and secretion were examined by (c) Real-Time qPCR in EPCs cells and (d-g) its supernatants were examined by Real-Time qPCR and ELISA assay. (h) Western blot was used to determine cell pytoptosis in EPCs cells. (i) MTT assay was used to determine cell viability in EPCs cells. (j) Generation and (k, l) secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 were respectively examined by Real-Time qPCR and ELISA. Individual experiment repeated 3 times, and * P < 0.05
Article Snippet: Next, the PVDF membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies against NLRP3 (1:1500, Catalog MAB7578, R&D system, USA), ASC (1:1000, Catalog AF3805, R&D system, USA), N-Gasdermin D (1:1000, Catalog ab209845, Abcam, UK), GAPDH (1:2000, Catalog 2275-PC-100, R&D system, USA), cleaved Caspase-3 (1:1500, Catalog AF835, R&D system, USA), Bax (1:2000, AF820, R&D system, USA), Cyclin D1 (1:1500, Catalog MAB4314, R&D system, USA) and CDK2 (1:2000, Catalog AF4654, R&D system, USA) at 4 °C overnight.
