Effect of EA stimulus on the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome. a Representative western immunoblotting analysis of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β (n = 4). EA stimulus significantly decreased the levels of NLRP3, procaspase-1, Cl.Caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, proIL-1β and mature IL-1β when compared with MCAO group. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. Sham group, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 vs. MCAO group. (b, c) Immunofluorescent staining of NLRP3, Caspase-1, neuronal nuclei (NeuN), and nuclear marker DAPI. EA stimulus decreased the levels of NLRP3 positive neurons and Caspase-1 positive neurons when compared with MCAO group. Scale bar = 30 μm
