HBZY-1 mesangial cells were treated with 200 μg/mL AGEs in the presence or absence of Moutan Cortex (MC) extract of 200 μg/mL. Aminoguanidine of 10 μM was used as the positive control while BSA (200 μg/mL) as blank control. (A) Western blotting was performed to compare the protein expression levels. (B–D) The grayscale scan results of ICAM-1, TGF-β1 and FN. a, Control; b, 200 μg/mL AGEs; c, Positive control aminoguanidine group; “d-m” represent MC from Anhui, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Henan, Hunan, Hebei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shandong, Gansu.

Article Title: TLR4-NLRP3-GSDMD-Mediated Pyroptosis Plays an Important Role in Aggravated Liver Injury of CD38 −/− Sepsis Mice

doi: 10.1155/2021/6687555

Figure Lengend Snippet: Escherichia coli can induce liver injury in mice. WT mice were injected with PBS or 3 × 10 8 cfu/ml E. coli intraperitoneally and sacrificed 3 hours later. Liver pathological injuries were observed with hematoxylin and eosin staining (a–d). The yellow arrows indicate edema, the blue arrows indicate inflammatory cell infiltration, the black arrows indicate punctate necrosis, and the green arrows indicate binucleate hepatocytes. Bacteria from the liver of PBS- or E. coli -stimulated WT mice were cultured in MH medium (e, f) overnight and identified by Gram staining (g). The serum AST (h) and ALT (i) concentrations were determined by using the detection kits. The mRNA of liver inflammatory cytokines TLR4 (j), NLRP3 (k), IL-1 β (l), and IL-18 (m) of PBS- or 3 × 10 8 cfu/ml E. coli -stimulated mice were measured by RT-qPCR. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined by the paired t -test ( n = 3, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01).

doi: 10.1155/2021/6687555

Figure Lengend Snippet: The expression levels of pyroptosis-related markers were detected by Western blot. The expressions of liver pyroptosis proteins in WT, CD38 −/− , and CD38 −/− TLR4 mut mice were detected at 3 hours after E. coli stimulation by Western blot. The expressions of NLRP3, ASC, procaspase-1, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1 β , IL-18, procaspase-3, and cleaved caspase-3 were measured (a). And relative levels of NLRP3 to GAPDH (b), ASC to GAPDH (c), cleaved to procaspase-1 (d), IL-1 β to GAPDH (e), IL-18 to GAPDH (f), and cleaved to procaspase-3 (g) were analyzed by ImageJ software. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA ( n = 3, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01).
