The NLRP3 inflammasome participates in excessive iodine-induced pyroptosis in TFCs. (A,B) The NLRP3 expression levels were measured by immunoblots when Nthy-ori 3-1 cells were treated with NaI with or without NAC (10 mM) or IKK-16 (2 μM) for 24 h. (C,D) Verification of the silencing efficiency of NLRP3 by siRNA in Nthy-ori3-1 cells is shown by immunoblots; NC indicates the negative control. (E,F) The protein levels of GSDMD were detected by immunoblots after transfection of siNLRP3 in NaI-treated Nthy-ori 3-1 cells. All statistical results shown are representative of three replicates. Significant differences and P-values were calculated by one-way ANOVA. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
