Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced caspase-1 expression in rats. (A,B) Western blotting analysis of the expression of caspase-1 protein in the peri-infarct area. (C) RT-qPCR of caspase-1 mRNA at 12 h to day 7 after MCAO. (D) Representative images of fluorescent staining of caspase-1 (red) and the neuron marker (NeuN, green) in the ipsilateral thalamus after MCAO from day 1 to day 7. Scale bar = 50 μm. (E) Western blot analysis of caspase-1 and NeuN proteins at different concentrations of vx-765. (F) Combined western blotting statistics. All data are expressed as means ± SEM, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01, vs. sham, #P < 0.05, vs. vehicle; P > 0.05, vs. vx-765 50 mg/kg, n = 4 per group.
