EEA1 knock down results in a decrease release of IL-1β from macrophages without affecting pyroptosis. (A) Immunoblot analysis of EEA1, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β on cell lysate and cell-free supernatant from BMDMs transduced with non-target control (Non-target Lv) or EEA1 specific shRNA lentiviral particles (shRNA EEA1 Lv), primed with LPS and activated with ATP as indicated. This figure is representative of three independent experiments. (B) Densitometry quantification of EEA1 immunoblots shown in A. Relative EEA1 expression is normalized to β-actin expression. (C,D) ELISA for released IL-1β (C) or LDH (D) from BMDMs treated as in A. Nitrocellulose membranes were cropped after protein blotting and then inmunostained separately for each protein. Complete blots for IL-1β ans Caspase-1 are showed as supplementary. Data are presented as average ± sem from n = 3 independent experiments. ns, not significant (p > 0.05); ***p < 0.0001; *p ≤ 0.05.
