a ELISA of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α in supernatants from mouse peritoneal macrophages silenced of YAP, treated with indicated stimuli (mean ± SD, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni test, YAP siRNA vs. Ctrl siRNA, left panel: **P = 0.0023, ***P = 0.0007, ***P = 0.0005 in sequence; middle panel: *P = 0.0222, **P = 0.0033, **P = 0.0076 in sequence; n = 3 independent experiments). b Immunoblot analysis of supernatants (SN) or cell lysates (CL) from mouse peritoneal macrophages silenced of YAP, treated with indicated stimuli. c ELISA of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α in supernatants of mouse peritoneal macrophages from Yapfl/fl
lyz2-Cre or Yapfl/fl mice, then treated with indicated stimuli (mean ± SD, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni test, Yapfl/fl
lyz2-Cre vs. Yapfl/fl, left panel: ***P = 0.0003, **P = 0.0046, ***P = 0.0006 in sequence; middle panel: **P = 0.0021, **P = 0.002, **P = 0.0013 in sequence; n = 3 independent experiments). d Immunoblot analysis of supernatants (SN) or cell lysates (CL) of mouse peritoneal macrophages from Yapfl/fl
lyz2-Cre or Yapfl/fl mice, then treated with indicated stimuli. e Immunoblot analysis of ASC oligomerization in cross-linked cytosolic pellets of mouse peritoneal macrophages from Yapfl/fl
lyz2-Cre or Yapfl/fl mice, primed with LPS, and followed by stimulation with nigericin. f Representative images of ASC specks in LPS primed Yapfl/fl
lyz2-Cre or Yapfl/fl peritoneal macrophages treated with indicated stimuli. ASC, green; nuclei, blue. White arrows indicate ASC specks. Scale bars, 10 μm (left). The percentage of cells containing an ASC speck was quantified (right). At least 100 peritoneal macrophages from each genotype were analyzed (mean ± SD, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni test, Yapfl/fl
lyz2-Cre vs. Yapfl/fl, right panel: **P = 0.0011, ***P < 0.0001 in sequence; n = 3 independent experiments). Similar results were obtained from three independent experiments. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
