Anti-BAFF antibody decreased colon level of NLRP3 inflammasome in DSS-induced experimental chronic colitis in mice. (A–E) Total mRNA was extracted from colonic samples to determine the mRNA expression of NLRP3, AIM2, NLRP1, NLRC4 and NLRP6 by RT-qPCR. (F) Representative immunoblot bands for the NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-IL-1β and cleaved-caspase-1 proteins. GAPDH was used as a loading control. (G–J) Histogram of relative expression of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-IL-1β and cleaved-caspase-1 (n = 6–9 per group). NLRP3, NOD-like receptor protein 3, AIM2, absent in melanoma 2, NLRP1, NLR family, pyrin domain containing 1, NLRC4/IPAF, IL-1β converting enzyme protease activating factor, NLRP6, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6. ns, P > 0.05.
