KORs suppress the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in MI. (a) Immunofluorescent counterstaining of NLRP3/IBA-1 (scale bar = 50 μm) in rats’ hippocampal CA1 regions was performed. (b) Expression levels of NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway-related proteins and their downstream proteins in RM cells were detected using western blotting. All data in charts were represented as mean ± standard deviation; “” was labeled when the comparative significance between groups ( value) was less than 0.05.
