The activation of CCH-induced NLRP3 inflammasome may be restrained by restoring the lysosomal function after URB treatment. a Representative immunofluorescence staining for NLRP3 and LAMP1 in the hippocampal CA1 region. (scale bars = 20 μm). Green puncta: NLRP3 inflammasome; red puncta: LAMP1-positive lysosome; yellow puncta: LAMP1/NLRP3 overlap. b Relative level of LAMP1 (ratio of the sham group). The LAMP1-positive lysosome in the sham group is set to 1. c Relative level of NLRP3 (ratio of the sham group). The NLRP3-positive inflammasome in the sham group is set to 1. d Relative level of LAMP1/NLRP3 overlap (ratio of the sham group). The LAMP1/NLRP3 overlap in the sham group is set to 1. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). *P < 0.05 versus sham group. **P < 0.05 versus BCCAo group. #P < 0.05 versus BCCAo+URB group
