GSDMD enrichment in mitochondria leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS generation, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. (A) Expressions of GSDMD-NT protein in mitochondria of heart tissue were measured by Western blotting analysis. The results were normalized to the expression of COX-IV (n = 6). (B) Expressions of GSDMD-NT protein in mitochondria of H9c2 cells were measured by Western blotting analysis. The results were normalized to the expression of COX-IV (n = 3). (C) Mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed by JC assays in each group. (D) ATP level in each group (n = 3). (E) ROS level in H9c2 cells. (F) MDA levels in heart tissue from each group. (G) SOD activity in heart tissue from each group. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
