Western blot analysis of NLRP3 inflammasome cascade in thyroid (A) Western blotting images of IL-17, p-NF-κB, NF-κB, NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-Caspase1, pro-Caspase 1, pro-IL-1β, cleaved-IL-1β, and IL-18: Lane 1, control group; lane 2, model group; lane 3, YH 5 g crude drug/kG group; lane 4, YH 15 g crude drug/kG group; lane 5, selenious group. Bar graphs indicate the relative ratio of IL-17 over tubulin (B), p-NF-κB over NF-κB (C), NLRP3 over tubulin (D), ASC over tubulin (E), cleaved-Caspase-1 over pro-Caspase-1 (F), cleaved-IL-1β over pro-IL-1β (G), and IL-18 over tubulin (H) in thyroid. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs Model.
