Andrographolide (ANDRO) modulates CDAA-diet-induced inflammasome activation. Mice were fed with choline-deficient amino acid-defined (CDAA) or choline-supplemented L-amino acid defined (CSAA) diets during 22 weeks and treated with ANDRO or Vehicle (V) as described in material and methods. RNA was isolated from liver tissue and mRNA levels of (A) anti-Apoptosis-Associated Speck-Like Protein Containing CARD (ASC), (B) Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich-repeat containing receptor 3 (NLRP3), (C) Caspase-1 (CASP1) and (D) interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were assessed by real time PCR. Statistical significance was evaluated using ANOVA with a post-hoc Bonferroni multiple-comparison test (*p ≤ 0.05 and ***p ≤ 0.001).
