Inflammasome and pyroptosis one day after hemorrhagic shock. (a) TLR4 mRNA expression; (b) NLRP3 mRNA expression; (c) Caspase 1 mRNA expression; (d) Western Blot of the cleaved-form of caspase 1; (e) quantification of the expression of cleaved-form of caspase 1 from 4 independent Western-Blots. (f) IL1β mRNA expression. N = 6 per groups for mRNA and n = 4 per group for protein. Sham: non-shocked mice; Ov: ovariectomized mice; Ov + cE2: ovariectomized mice with chronic estradiol substitution; Intact + V: non ovariectomized mice receiving vehicle; Intact + aE2: intact mice receiving 25 µg of estradiol at the end of resuscitation. Relative mRNA expression levels were calculated using the ΔΔCtCt method, normalized to HPRT and β actin, and expressed as fold changes relative to the sham animals. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001 versus sham; ##P < 0.01 for indicated comparison.
