Deletion of caspase-11–inhibited MCD-induced hepatocytic pyroptosis in mice.Casp11+/+ (WT) or Casp 11–/– mice were treated with MCD for 8 weeks to induce NASH. The protein level of (A, B) pro-Gsdmd, (A, C) Gsdmd-N, (A, D) pro-IL-1β, (A, E) mature IL-1β (p17), (A, F) pro-caspase 1, and (A, G) cleaved caspase 1 was detected by Western blot. (H, I) The pyroptosis in liver was evaluated by immunohistochemistry on Gsdmd-N and (H) the percentage of Gsdmd-N+ cells were quantified. n = 5 for 2 control groups, n = 8 for 2 MCD groups. ∗∗P < .01, ∗∗∗P < .001, ∗∗∗∗P < .0001. ns, no significance.
