Figure Lengend Snippet: The dynamic expression of NALP3 inflammasome and IL-1 β during the natural inflammatory response induced by tMCAO. Western blot of dynamic expression ((a), (b), (c)). Bar graph illustrating the dynamic expression of NALP3, ASC, active caspase-1, and active IL-1 β in brain tissues (d). Bar graph illustrating dynamic expression of NALP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1 β as determined by immunohistochemistry (e). Bar graph illustrating the mRNA dynamic expression of NALP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1 β (f). For NALP3, ☆ P < 0.05 versus Sham, ★ P < 0.05 versus Sham, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 48 h, and 72 h. For ASC, △ P < 0.05 versus Sham. For active caspase-1 and active IL-1 β , ◊ P < 0.05 and □ P < 0.05 versus Sham, ◆ P < 0.05 and ■ P < 0.05 versus Sham, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 72 h.
Article Snippet: Brain sections (5 μ m thick) were blocked in 3% H 2 O 2 , 3% normal goat serum, and then incubated overnight with anti-mouse NALP3, ASC and IL-1 β rabbit polyclonal antibodies (1 : 100, Abcam Biotechnology), and anti-mouse caspase-1 rabbit polyclonal antibody (1 : 100, Sigma Biotechnology).
