In vivo inhalation of asbestos results in reduced pulmonary inflammation in Nalp3-deficient mice. (A) Total and (B) differential cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in 9 day sham- and asbestos-exposed groups. (C) Cytokine/chemokine levels were measured in BALF of 9 day asbestos-exposed mice. Values are means ± S.E.M. *Significantly different from sham of same genotype. †Significantly different from +/+ Asb. (D) A proposed model for asbestos induced inflammasome activation.
