Fig. 7From: Sodium para-aminosalicylic acid inhibits manganese-induced NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis by inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation and oxidative stressPAS-Na inhibited Mn-induced NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis. a The protein expressions of NLRP3, cleaved-caspase1, P-P65, and P65 in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of rats were detected by western blot. b The IL-1β and IL-18 level in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of rats were measured by ELISA. The protein expression was normalized by GAPDH. All tests were repeated independently three times. Data are presented as mean ± SD. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001: significant as compared to the control group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, and ###p < 0.001: significant as compared to corresponding Mn-treated groupBack to article page
