Pin1 deficiency prevents caspase-1-mediated cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD). (A) Imaging assay of pyroptosis in WT and Pin1-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) treated with 5 mM ATP or 20 mM nigericin. (B) BMDMs were primed with 500 ng/ml LPS for 4 h and stimulated with ATP or nigericin for 30 min and supernatants were analyzed for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). (C) Immunoblotting with mouse antibody for GSDMD in WT and Pin1-/- BMDMs treated with ATP or nigericin. (D) Immunoblotting with mouse antibody for GSDMD in RAW 264.7 cells transfected with control siRNA or siRNA for Pin1 treated with 5 mM ATP or 20 mM nigericin for 30 min. All data are representative of three independent experiments. The data represent the mean ± SD of one among three biological replicates, with three technical replicates each. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns, no significance; two-way ANOVA (B).
