Immunohistochemical staining of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family members containing the pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3)-inf lammasome in lung tissues after 24-hour stimulation with cigarette smoking extract (CSE) and diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) (×100). (A) NLRP3-inf lammasome expression was increased by CSE and DEPs in both the normal and (B) elastin-induced emphysema groups. NLRP3-inf lammasome expression was suppressed by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in both the normal and emphysema groups. LPS, lipopolysaccharide.
