Negative Feedback of the cAMP/PKA Pathway Regulates the Effects of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation on Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cell Pyroptosis as a Novel Mechanism of BLM-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis
Figure 2
ER stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation increased in the alveolar region in the BLM group. (a–c) Immunochemical staining of ER stress markers Grp78, Grp94, and CHOP and (d–g) NLRP3 inflammasome-related proteins NLRP3, IL1β, ASC, and N-GSMDM.
