Figure Lengend Snippet: (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) Mouse bone marrow–derived macrophages were pre-treated for 30 min with DMSO vehicle (Veh), Fbx (200 µM), Allo (250 μg/ml), or Casp-i (Z-YVAD-FMK, 20 μM), and then with LPS (100 ng/ml) and IFNγ (20 ng/ml) for 6 h (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) or 18 h (H). (E, F, G, H, I) In experiments in which cytokine release was measured (E, F, G, H), ATP (1 mM) was added 3 h before harvesting (E, F, G, H, I). (A) Schematic representation of the macrophage differentiation and polarization protocol. (B, C, D) Tnfa , Il6 , and Il1b gene expression measured by qRT-PCR. (E, F, G) TNF-ɑ, IL-6, and IL-1β protein levels were measured by ELISA. Results are represented as the percentage of M(LPS+γ). (H) pro-IL1β frequency in F4/80 + cells determined by flow cytometry. (I) Caspase-1 activity (relative luminescence units, RLU) was measured according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Results are represented as the percentage of M(LPS+γ). (J) Caspase inhibition screening test (relative fluorescence units, RFU). Caspase-1 inhibitor Ac-YVAD-CHO was used as a control, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Results are the mean ± SEM of at least five biological replicates.
