doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2026.115183
Figure Lengend Snippet: Pdk1 knockdown exacerbates AILI by promoting PANoptosis in vivo Mice were assigned to four groups: control, sh- NC , APAP, and sh- Pdk1 + APAP. (A) Schematic illustration of the experimental design. (B) Western blot analysis confirming efficient knockdown of PDK1 protein in liver tissues. (C) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of liver sections and quantification of hepatic necrotic areas. Scale bars, 100 μm; n = 5. (D–E) Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. (F) Serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. (G) Western blot analysis and quantification of PANoptosis marker proteins in liver tissues. (H–K) Representative immunofluorescence staining of liver sections showing albumin (ALB, green) and PANoptosis marker proteins (ZBP1, p -MLKL, cleaved caspase-1, and cleaved caspase-3; red). Scale bars, 20 μm; n = 5. Data are presented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test and a two-tailed Student’s t test were used for statistical analysis. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
