Figure 4.
In cultured HUVEC, the presence of the inflammasome related apoptosis-associated speck like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC-specks) was studied by immunofluorescence, either in control conditions or in the presence of 100 ng/mL visfatin/eNampt and/or 10 µmol/L FK 866, 1 µmol/L CLI 095, and 1 µmol/L MCC 950. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue) (630×). Arrowheads point ASC-specks aggregates in the different treatments.
