Figure Lengend Snippet: EA.hy926 cells were preincubated with or without 10058-F4 (60 µM) for 1 h before Neu5Ac (20 mM) treatment for 12 h, GLS2 and DAPI immunostaining were performed, with quantitative data at below; bar = 100 µm ( A , B ); IL-1β, IL-18, Caspase-1, NLRP3, GSDMD-N, GLS2 and ICAM-1 protein expression were assessed by western blot, with quantitative data at below ( C , D ); mitochondrial mass, membrane potential and mitochondrial ROS production were labeled by MitoTracker Green, TMRE and mitoSOX respectively; bar = 31.75 µm ( E ). EA.hy926 cells were transfected with SIRT3 siRNA or NC siRNA before Neu5Ac (20 mM) treatment for 12 h, IL-1β, IL-18, Caspase-1, NLRP3, GSDMD-N, GLS2, p-FOXO3a and ICAM-1 protein expression were assessed by western blot and quantified ( F , G ). Mitochondrial mass, membrane potential and mitochondrial ROS production were labeled by MitoTracker Green, TMRE and mitoSOX respectively; bar = 31.75 µm ( H ). I , J Western blot analysis of IL-1β, IL-18, Caspase-1, NLRP3, GSDMD-N and ICAM-1 of EA.hy926 cells transfected with GLS2 plasmid and SIRT3 siRNA followed by Neu5Ac (20 mM) treatment for 12 h. K EA.hy926 cells were transfected with SIRT3 siRNA or NC siRNA before Neu5Ac (20 mM) treatment for 12 h, Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) was performed with an antibody for c-Myc and antibody for IgG as the negative control. Data were analyzed using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -tests or one-way ANOVA tests, and presented as the means ± SEM. * p < 0.05 was considered significant, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
