Gsdmd deficiency attenuated inflammatory cytokine secretion, cardiac inflammation, and activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway induced by LPS. (A,B) The levels of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum from each group were detected by ELISA (n = 8). (C,D) The mRNA levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in heart tissue from each group were detected by PCR. The results were normalized to the expression of β-actin (n = 8). (E) Representative CD68 immunohistochemistry images of heart tissue from each group (magnification × 400). Arrow heads indicate positive staining. (F) MPO activity in heart tissue from each group (n = 5). (G,H) Expressions of NF-κB P65 and phosphorylated P65 protein in heart tissue were measured by Western blotting analysis. The results were normalized to the expression of P65 (n = 6). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
