Caspase-1 inhibitor (vx-765) inhibits the formation of DVT in vivo. (A,B) H&E staining of serial cross sections of IVC from Ctrl, Sham, DVT, DVT+vehicle, DVT+vx-765, DVT+vehicle+miR-513c-5p inhibitor, DVT+vx-765+miR-513c-5p inhibitor at 48 h (magnification, ×40). Scale bars = 500 μm. (C,D) Thrombus length and weight at 48 h post-operation in the different treatment groups after the administration of caspase-1 inhibitor (vx-765) (n = 15 in each group). (E) Representative images of thrombi in each treatment group were detected by vascular ultrasound at 48 h post-operation. (F) Caspase-1 and GSDMD protein levels were determined by Western blot in vascular tissue of DVT animal group and vx-765-treated groups. (G) Expression of IL-1β and IL-18 in vascular tissue were detected by ELISA with vx-765 treated each group. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
