MCL inhibits LPS+ATP-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in NRK-52E cells. (a, b) Western blot analysis of the NLRP3 expression and its relative expression levels normalized to β-actin (ACTB). (c, d) Western blot analysis of the caspase-1 p10 expression and its relative expression levels normalized to α-tubulin. (e, f) Western blot analysis of the IL-1β expression and its relative expression levels normalized to α-tubulin. (g) Real-time PCR analysis of IL-1β expression in renal tubular epithelial cells. (h, i) Western blot analysis of the IL-18 expression and its relative expression levels normalized to ACTB. (j) ELISA analysis of IL-18 expression in each group. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01 versus normal controls; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus the LPS+ATP stimulation group.
