GSDMD-NT was upregulated in the heart tissue of septic mice induced by LPS. (A) Representative echocardiography of mice from each group. (B, C) Myocardial function parameters, ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) of mice from each group were assessed by echocardiography (n = 6). (D–F) The levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase isoenzymes MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum from each group (n = 6). (G) Representative HE images of heart tissue from each group (magnification × 400). (H) Expressions of GSDMD and GSDMD-NT protein in heart tissue were measured by Western blotting analysis. The results were normalized to the expression of GAPDH (n = 6). Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. ns: nonsignificance.
