Cryptotanshinone Inhibits Bladder Cancer Cell Malignant Progression in a Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Microenvironment through NLRP3 Inhibition

Figure 3

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) promoted bladder cancer cell malignant behaviors through induction of NLRP3 expression. In total, 5,637 cells were grown and treated with LPS and/or MCC950 and then subjected to the (a) CCK-8 assay, (b and c) colony formation assay, (d and e) transwell invasion assay, (f and g) wound healing assay, and (h and i) Western blot analysis of cyclin D1, CDK4, MMP-2, MMP-9, E-cadherin, and vimentin proteins. , , , and .
