Resveratrol suppressed NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-1β expression and secretion in ox-LDL-treated platelets. (a) Resveratrol inhibited NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL-1β expression that was induced by ox-LDL. (b) Immunofluorescent analysis of caspase-1 expression. Resveratrol (100 μM) decreased caspase-1 expression. (c) Resveratrol (100 μM) reversed the increase in IL-1β secretion in ox-LDL-activated platelets. (d) The NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 inhibited MMP3 and MMP9 expression that was induced by ox-LDL. (e) MCC950 (100 nM) decreased MMP3 secretion in ox-LDL-activated platelets. (f) MCC950 (100 nM) decreased MMP9 secretion in ox-LDL-activated platelets. (g) The combination of resveratrol (10 μM) and MCC950 (10 nM) synergistically inhibited the expression of caspase-1, IL-1β, MMP3, and MMP9 that was induced by ox-LDL. The data represent three independent experiments. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, significant difference between non-ox-LDL-treated platelets and ox-LDL-treated platelets; p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, significant difference between MCC950- or MCC950+resveratrol-treated platelets and ox-LDL-activated platelets.
