Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) inhibits the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome. (A–C) Immunohistochemical staining measuring NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 expressions in heart tissues of rats. (D–F) Quantification of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 staining. (G) Western blot showing the protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, and cleaved interleukin (IL)-1β. (H–J) The ratios of NLRP3, caspase-1, and cleaved IL-1β and β-tubulin were quantified by densitometry based on immunoblot images. Data are presented as means ± SEM. #P < 0.05, ###P < 0.01 vs. the sham group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group.
