Effects of TXNIP gene silencing on NLRP3 inflammasome activation-associated proteins and inflammation-associated factors. (A) Western blots and (B) quantified expression levels of TXNIP, NLRP3, cleaved-caspase-1 and caspase-1 proteins in the control, HG, NC + HG, siTXNIP and siTXNIP + HG groups. (C) IL-1 and (D) IL-18 expression levels in each group were detected by ELISA. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, vs. control group; #P<0.05 and ##P<0.01. TXNIP, thioredoxin interacting protein; NLRP3, NOD-like receptor protein 3; IL, interleukin; HG, high glucose; NC, negative control siRNA; si-, small interfering RNA.
