A Western blot showing the expression of GSDMD when knocking down ATF-4. B Western blot showing the expression of ATF4 when knocking down GSDMD. CE After GSDMD siRNA, TG or GSDMD-overexpression treatment, qPCR was used to detect the change of mRNA level of GSDMD (C), ER-stress downstream genes GRP94 (D) and CHOP (E) in Cal-27 cells. FH After GSDMD siRNA, TG or TG + siRNA treatment, qPCR was used to detect the change of mRNA level of GSDMD (F), ER-stress downstream genes GRP94 (G) and CHOP (H) in Cal-27 GSDMD stable overexpression cells. (I) Flow cytometry to detect cell death after treatment with cisplatin (48 h), in control cells, GSDMD-overexpression cells and GSDMD-overexpression cells with PERK-inhibitor (GSK2606414, 1 μM, 48 h) treatment. (J). The results of statistical analysis of (I).
