Nrf1 overexpression alleviated TEC pyroptosis in OGD/R-stimulated TCMK-1 cells. (A) Representative photomicrographs of Nrf1 expression in TCMK-1 cells by immunofluorescence, 400×, scale bar = 20 μm. (B,C) Western blot analysis of Nrf1, GSDMD-N, NLRP3, and caspase-1 expression in TCMK-1 cells. (D) Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. (E) The LDH release was detected by activity assays. (F) IL-1β and IL-18 contents were measured by using ELISA kits. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 3 per group. *P < 0.05 vs. TCMK-1/wt con group, ∧P > 0.05 vs. TCMK-1/wt con group, #P < 0.05 vs. OGD/R-induced TCMK-1/wt group, one-way ANOVA.
