Suppression of CMPK2 alleviates I/R-induced deterioration of hepatic injury. (A) Protein detection of CMPK2 in liver tissue. Secretion of (B) IL-18 and (C) IL-1β was measured by ELISA. Hepatocellular function of experimental mice was evaluated by detecting the release of (D) AST and (E) ALT. (F and G) Histological changes of the liver in the sham, I/R, I/R + scramble siRNA and I/R + CMPK2 siRNA groups. Original magnification, x200. **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. sham group; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. I/R group. CMPK2, cytidine monophosphate kinase 2; NLRP3, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; siRNA, small interfering RNA; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase.
