Antagonistic effects of tempol on the pro-pyroptotic action of ATO (2 μM)/AA (2 mM) combination in SW620 cells. (A) Tempol (1 mM) abolishes the elevation of caspase-1 protein level induced by ATO (2 μM)/AA (2 mM) combination treatment. The data are represented as mean ± SEM (n = 5). *P < 0.05, vs. Ctl; # P < 0.05 vs. AA + ATO. (B, C) Tempol (1 mM) mitigated the increased mRNA levels of IL-1β and IL-18 induced by ATO/AA combination treatment. The data shown are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. **P < 0.01, vs. Ctl. ***P < 0.001 vs. Ctl; ### P < 0.001 vs. AA + ATO.
