Corticosterone Inhibits LPS-Induced NLRP3 Inflammasome Priming in Macrophages by Suppressing Xanthine Oxidase
Figure 2
LPS-induced protein levels of NLRP3 and cleaved caspase-1 expression in RAW264.7 cells pretreated with different concentrations of CORT. After pretreatment with different concentrations of CORT for 1 h, the cells were stimulated with LPS (1 μg/ml) for an additional 1 h. (a) Western blots showing NLRP3 and cleaved caspase-1 expression. (b) Statistical chart showing the relative expression of NLRP3 protein. (c) Statistical chart showing the relative expression of cleaved caspase-1 protein. Values are mean (s.d.) (). , versus control.
