TP alleviated pyroptosis in HG-induced MPC5 cells by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. (A) WB was used to detect the protein levels of pyroptosis markers in NLRP3 inflammasome in MPC5 cells; (B) The secretion levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were detected by ELISA kits. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, and cell experiments were independently repeated three times. One-way ANOVA was used for data comparison among multiple groups and Tukey’s test was used for the post-hoc test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
