SEA induces NLRP3 inflammasome activation in HSCs: (a) Western blot gels, (b) summarized data showing the expression of NLRP3, pro-caspase-1 and activated caspase-1 in HSCs after stimulation with SEA (50 μg/ml), full-length blots are included in the Supplementary Fig. S3, and (c) IL-1β production in cell supernatant; (d) Summarized relative mRNA levels of NLRP3 in HSCs in the presence or absence siNLRP3, as determined by RT-PCR. HSCs were incubated with or without SEA (50 μg/ml) for 2 h in the presence or absence siNLRP3; (e) Western blot gels, (f) summarized data showing the expression of NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, activated caspase-1 in HSCs, full-length blots are included in the Supplementary Fig. S4; (g) IL-1β production in cell supernatant. Scram: scrambled siRNA; siNLRP3: NLRP3 siRNA. Results are a representative of at least three independent experiments. *p < 0.05.
