    R&D Systems murine balf
    KIF1B inhibition reduces IL‐13‐induced inflammatory responses in BEAS‐2B cells. (A) BEAS‐2B cells were transfected with si‐KIF1B or si‐NC and treated with IL‐13 (10 ng/mL) for 24 h, followed by Western blot analysis of NLRP3, cleaved caspase‐1 and cleaved GSDMD protein expression. Conditioned medium was collected to measure cytokine levels: <t>(B)</t> <t>TNF‐α,</t> (C) IL‐1β, (D) IL‐18 and (E) IL‐10 by ELISA. β‐actin was used as the loading control for normalisation in Western blot. Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 3; *** p < 0.001 vs. control, p < 0.01, p < 0.001 vs. IL‐13 group).

    KIF1B regulates IL‐13‐induced inflammation in BEAS‐2B cells via NLRP3. BEAS‐2B cells were transfected with si‐NC, si‐KIF1B + empty vector or si‐KIF1B + NLRP3‐ORF plasmid, with or without IL‐13 treatment. (A) NLRP3 gene expression was measured by qRT‐PCR following NLRP3‐ORF transfection to confirm successful overexpression. (B) Following transfection with si‐KIF1B with or without NLRP3‐ORF and IL‐13 treatment, intracellular ROS, MDA and GSH levels were measured. (C) Protein expression of NLRP3, cleaved caspase‐1 and cleaved GSDMD was assessed by Western blot. (D) Cytokine levels (TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐18 and IL‐10) in conditioned medium were measured by ELISA. GAPDH gene was used as an internal reference for qPCR analysis, and β‐actin was used as the loading control for normalisation in Western blot.

    KIF1B knockdown reduces OVA‐induced inflammation and pyroptosis in mouse pulmonary tissues. C57BL/6 mice were infected with lentiviral particles carrying sh‐KIF1B or sh‐NC, and subsequently treated with OVA for 14 days to induce asthmatic responses. Lung tissues were collected at sacrifice. (A) Wright‐Giemsa staining was used to quantify total cells, macrophages, eosinophils, lymphocytes and neutrophils in BALF. (B) IgE, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐18 and IL‐10 levels in BALF were measured by ELISA. (C) Protein levels of NLRP3, cleaved caspase‐1 and cleaved GSDMD in lung homogenates were assessed by Western blot. β‐actin was used as the loading control for normalisation in Western blot. Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 8; *** p < 0.001 vs. control, p < 0.01, p < 0.001 vs. OVA group).
