Gsdmd deficiency improved the survival rate and attenuated myocardial injury and dysfunction in septic mice induced by LPS. (A) Survival rate of the WT-LPS group and Gsdmd −/− -LPS group (n = 10). (B) Representative echocardiography of mice from each group. (C, D) Myocardial function parameters, EF and FS of mice from each group were measured by echocardiography (n = 8). (E–G) The levels of cTnI, CK-MB, and LDH in serum from each group (n = 8). (H) Representative HE images of heart tissue from each group (magnification × 400). (I) Representative TUNEL images of heart tissue from each group (magnification × 400) and quantitative data of positive cells from randomly selected five fields are shown on the right (n = 5). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
