Protein and mRNA expression of pyroptosis-related molecules in control cohort and Z-YVAD-FMK-treated cohort. (A) mRNA expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, caspase-11, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 in rat kidney tissuses. (B) Western blotting results of NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-11, GSDMD, pro-IL-1β, cleaved-IL-1β and cleaved-IL-18. In rat kidney tissues. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. (n = 6 in each group). BD = brain-death; Sham = without brain death. GSDMD, gasdermin D; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
