FIGURE 4. Increased NLRP3 is associated with the IL-1β response of HIV-1BaL-infected Liver macrophages to LPS stimulation.
The mRNA of (A) NLRP1, (B) AIM2, (C) NLRP3 (P = 0.045 and P = 0.031), and (D) NLRC4 were quantified by RT-PCR and compared among control, HIV-1BaL infection, LPS treated and LPS+HIV-1BaL treated macrophages, n = 4, each sample in triplicate; β-actin was used as internal control. Kruskal-Wallis one way analysis with paired t tests between groups
