Pyroptosis is induced in LPS+ATP-treated macrophages. (a) The silencing effects of the caspase1 siRNA and GSDMD siRNA were both confirmed by PCR. (b) Pyroptotic cells observed by Hoechst and PI staining (200×). (c) Comparison of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, and GSDMD-N protein expressions between groups. , in comparison with the Normal group. #, in comparison with the KOA group. (d) Typical protein bands for each group.
