Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein Mediates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation Involved in the Susceptibility to Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury in Diabetes

Figure 8

Immunofluorescence staining of TXNIP (a) and NLRP3 (b). NG: normal glucose (5.6 mM); HG: high glucose (30 mM). NH/R: hypoxia (4 h)/reoxygenation (2 h) under NG conditions; HH/R: hypoxia (4 h)/reoxygenation (2 h) under HG conditions. HH/R-RES: HH/R pretreated by RES (50 μM) for 72 h with the high glucose incubation. HH/R-siRNA: TXNIP protein was inhibited by transfection with TXNIP siRNA before HH/R; HH/R-scrambled siRNA: scrambled siRNA used as control before HH/R.
