Expression level of genes encoded for inflammatory and NLRP3 components in PBMCs. (A-B) mRNA expression in primary PBMCs isolated from steroid-naïve (n=10) and steroid-dependent (n=8) asthmatics. mRNA expression in primary PBMCs primed with 1 ng/ml LPS showed increased transcript levels in the refed state. (C-D) Representative protein levels and relative quantitative changes of signaling molecules activating the NLRP3 inflammasome in PBMCs isolated from steroid-naïve asthmatics (n=8). Statistical analysis using paired student t-test with p values shown in each panel.
