Micheliolide (MCL) mediates autophagy of the NLRP3 inflammasome (A–B) HIECs were stained for LC3/LAMP1 (green) and NLRP3 (red) and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Co-localization of NLRP3 (arrows) and LC3/LAMP1 (arrowheads) is apparent. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, two-tailed Student’s t-test. Con, untreated HIECs; IR, HIECs exposed to radiation (10 Gy); IR + MCL, HIECs pretreated with MCL (10 μM) prior to radiation (10 Gy) exposure; HIEC, human intestinal epithelial cell; LC3/LAMP1, light chain three/lysosome-associated membrane protein.
