Nrf2 regulates the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Wild-type and Nrf2-KO mice underwent surgery to induce renal I/R via clamping of the bilateral renal pedicles. (A) At 24 h post-reperfusion, renal tissue was collected for western blot analysis of (B) Nrf2, (C) HO-1, (D) NLRP3, (E) ASC, (F) caspase-1 and (G) IL-1β protein expression levels. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n=3). *P<0.05 vs. Con wild-type mice; #P<0.05 vs. I/R wild-type mice. NLRP3, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3; ASC, PYD and CARD domain containing; HO-1, heme oxygenase 1; KO, knockout; Con, control; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion.
