GSDMD is necessary for I/R induced pyroptosis and proinflammatory cytokine secretion in microglia BV2 cells. (A–D) Western blot analysis of the relative expression of cleaved-GSDMD (B), active caspase-1 (p20) (C), and caspase-11 (D) in microglia after OGD/R. (E,F) Relative expression of cleaved-GSDMD post shRNA-GSDMD interference or GSDMD overexpression in microglia. n = 5. (G,H) Relative expression of caspase-1 and caspase-11 in microglia post GSDMD silence or GSDMD overexpression. n = 5. (I,J) The expression of mature IL-1β and IL-18 in microglia BV2 cells were measured by ELISA at 4 h post OGD/R. n = 3. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. the Sham group or relative group. GSDMD, gasdermin D; I/R, ischemia reperfusion; OGD, oxygen glucose deprivation.
