Fig. 2. Changes in PGC-1α, mitochondrial dynamics, and NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in adenine-fed mice.

Fig. 2

A mRNA and B protein expression levels of PGC-1α were decreased in adenine-fed mice. C mRNA expression of mitochondrial dynamic-related genes including Mfn, Tfam, and Drp1were altered in adenine-fed mice. D mRNA and E protein expression levels of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway were increased in adenine-fed mice. F Concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 assessed by ELISA were increased in adenine-fed mice. G mRNA and H protein expression levels of fibrotic markers including fibronectin and collagen 1, and apoptotic cell death markers of Bax/bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 were increased in adenine-fed mice. Note: *P < 0.05 vs. control. PGC-1α peroxisomal proliferator-γ coactivator-1α; NLRP3 NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3; ASC, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain; ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; Ade adenine.
