Figure 3. Effects of Fas-IN and TNFR1-IN on DNTs and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. (AC) Results of DNTs detection (x¯ ± s, n = 10): The proportion of DNTs in the spleen of AD mice was relatively low. Comparison of the proportion of DNTs in the spleen in (B), and comparison of the proportion of DNTs in the intestine in C. Significant difference between the groups, P < 0.05. (D) Expression of intestinal NLRP3 and cleaved-Caspase-1 by IHC (n = 5): SCFAs could activate the expression of NLRP3 and cleaved-Caspase-1.
