[Retracted] ADAM8 Activates NLRP3 Inflammasome to Promote Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Figure 4

ADAM8 promoted the apoptosis of cerebral cortical neurons in cerebral ischemia and reperfusion mice. (a) Cleaved caspase-3 in the penumbra was detected by western blotting after reperfusion for 24 hours, n = 4 mice per group. (b) TUNEL and immunofluorescence analysis of the apoptosis cerebral in cortex penumbra at 24 hours after I-R injury. The magnification was 40x and the scale bar was 50 μm, n = 3 mice per group. All values are expressed as the mean ± SD. , , vs. Sham Scramble shRNA group. , , vs. MCAO Scramble shRNA group.
