Effects of inhibiting NLRP3 by MCC950 on leptin-induced podocyte injury and IL-1β secretion. (a) and (b) Differentiated podocytes were incubated in medium, medium containing 15 ng/mL leptin, or medium containing both 15 ng/mL leptin and 1 μM MCC950, respectively. The relative mRNA and protein expression levels of nephrin, podocin, and desmin (a) and IL-1β (b) of podocytes were measured by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot assay. Values are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3). P < 0.05 vs. control group, #P < 0.05 vs. leptin + MCC950 group.
