Maxing shigan decoction (MXSG) mitigated NLRP3 overexpression-induced pyroptosis in A549 cells. Cells were treated with MXSG (0.2 mg/mL) for 24 h. Bacteria-free broth and DMEM with 0.1% DMSO were used as controls. (A) Western blot analysis of NLRP3 expression; (B) Flow cytometry (PI staining); ELISA analysis of IL-18 (C), TNF-α (D), and IL-1β (E); (F) Western blot analysis of IL-1β, pro-IL-1β, caspase-1, pro-caspase 1 (F), and GSDMD-N (G). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3), Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3), **P < 0.01 vs Vector; ##P < 0.01 vs oeNLRP3 + Vehicle.
