Xingxiong injection reduces inflammatory response by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome. Representative images of immunoblotting (A) and quantification of the relative protein levels of NLRP3 (B) and IL-1β (C) in the infarct cortex region of the different groups on day 14 after MCAO surgery, n = 3 in each group. Effect of Xingxiong injection treatment on caspase-1 in cortex region (D) with MCAO/R by ELISA (n = 3). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD and were analysed by ANOVA. ^##p < 0.01 vs. sham group; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. MCAO/R group.
