Caspase-1 induces serum deprivation-induced apoptosis by increasing caspase-7 activation. Cells were transfected with C-miR, miR-101, control siRNA (siCtrl) or ASC siRNA (siASC), followed by treatment with Ac-YVAD-cho in serum-free media for 24 h (caspase assay) or 30 h (cell viability). (ad) Caspase activity was determined in cell lysates by colorimetric assay. (e) Caspases-3/7 activation was determined by Western blot analysis. (f) Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 versus cells transfected with C-miR or siCtrl in serum-free media
