CGA pretreatment protects against MIRI in mice by inhibiting pyroptosis. (a,b) Effect of CGA on protein expression levels of pro-caspase-1 and cleaved-caspase-1 in I/R-injured mice.The protein expression levels of pro-caspase-1 and cleaved-caspase-1 were measuring by Western blotting analysis. (c,e) Effect of CGA on protein expression levels of GSDMD, cleaved N-terminal GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18 in I/R-injured mice. The protein expression levels of GSDMD, cleaved N-terminal GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18 were measuring by Western blotting analysis. (f,g) CGA pretreatment decreased the I/R injury-induced protein expression levels of cleaved-caspase-1 in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the protein expression levels of cleaved-caspase-1 and cleaved N-terminal GSDMD in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes. Representative images were captured using an optical microscope (×400  magnification). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 15 mice in each group. The full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 3. *P < 0.05 vs. the sham group, #P < 0.05 vs. the I/R group.
