Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Expression of NLRP3 in response to cisplatin and AS IV. (A) Expression levels of NLRP3, IL-1β, and caspase-1 in rat liv- ers by western blot. (B) Expression of NLRP3, IL-1β, and caspase-1 in rat kidneys by western blot. (C) Images of rat liver and kidney immunohistochemistry sections stained for NLRP3 expression (× 400). The relative expression of protein was calculated as band intensity of target protein normalized to β-actin. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. (n = 4).
Article Snippet: The antibodies used in this study included rabbit anti-NLRP3 (Bioss Antibodies, Beijing, China), rabbit anti-caspase-1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), mouse anti-IL-1β (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), rabbit anti-LC3 (CST, Beverly, MA, USA), mouse antiSQSTM1/p62 (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), and rabbit anti-βactin (CST).
