Irinotecan (IR) aggrandizes hepatic oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activity in mice. Effects of IR on hepatic (A) MDA, (B) GSH-Px, (C) SOD and (D) CAT content. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 8), **P < 0.01 compared with normal control (NC) group. (E) Hepatic ROS level were determined by DHE staining. Red color is considered as ROS staining. (F) Western blot analysis of NLRP3, cleaved-Caspase1 and IL-1β protein levels in liver tissue. (G) Densitometric quantification of NLRP3, cleaved-Caspase1 and IL-1β. The blots were cut prior to hybridisation with indicated primary antibodies. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6), **P < 0.01 compared with NC group.
