LuQi Formula Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome to Relieve Myocardial-Infarction-Induced Cardiac Remodeling in Mice

Figure 3

LQF inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation. (a)–(e) Representative western blotting and quantification of inflammation-related proteins, including NLRP3, ASC, Cle-caspase-1, and IL-1β, GAPDH served as a loading control (n = 5). (f)–(h) Representative image of a cardiac section stained for NLRP3 and IL-1β, with the quantification results of IHC (magnification 200×) (n = 3). vs. the sham group, vs. the model group, vs. the perindopril group, and vs. the perindopril group.
