ROS-Mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome Activity Is Essential for Burn-Induced Acute Lung Injury

Figure 2

NLRP3 and Caspase-1 were activated in rat lungs after burn. Rats were subjected to burn injury. The mRNA expression ((a) and (b)) of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in lung tissue after burn over time. The protein levels ((c), (d), and (e)) of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in lung tissue from severely burned rats over time. The values presented are mean ± SEM ( per group). , compared to the value at 0 h.
