Bone marrow derived macrophages (A, B) and bone marrow neutrophils (C, D) from C57BL/6 and Nlrc4-/- mice were primed 3 h with LPS and infected with PAO1, ∆pscD (no needle), ∆popB (no translocon), or ∆exoST. Quantification of IL-1β secretion by ELISA (A, C) and LDH release (B, D). E Caspase-1, GSDMD and IL-1β cleavage in infected macrophages and neutrophils from C57BL/6 and Nlrc4-/- mice were examined by western blot. Macrophage westerns are combined whole cell lysate and TCA precipitated supernatants. Neutrophil whole cell lysates (WCL) and supernatants (SUP) were examined separately. Western blots are representative of 3 repeat experiments. Each data point in panels A-D represents one independent experiment (3-4 biological replicates). Statistical significance was assessed by 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-test. Error bars are mean +/- SD.
