149-01 does not affect the activation of AIM2, NLRC4, or Pyrin inflammasomes. (A–C) BMDMs were first primed with LPS, then treated with or without 149-01 (600 nM) for 30 min, lastly stimulated with nigericin, poly (A/T), Salmonella or C3 toxin. (A,C) IL-1β releases in supernatants were detected by ELISA. (B) Active IL-1β and p20 in supernatants and pro-IL-1β, pro-caspase-1 and β-actin in cell lysates were measured by western blot. Data are obtained from three independent experiments, each with two biological replicates and are expressed as mean ± s. e.m (n = 6) (A,C), or are representative of three independent experiments (B). One-way ANOVA was applied to calculate statistical significance: ***p < .001, NS, not significant.
