IF analysis was performed on paraffin-embedded sections. Sections were deparaffinized in xylene before being heated in citrate-EDTA antigen retrieval solution (Beyotime, China) for antigen retrieval and blocked with 1% BSA. The primary antibodies used for IF analysis were caspase-11 (Santa Cruz, USA) and GSDMD (Abcam, UK). Primary antibodies were incubated at 4 °C overnight. After being washed, the sections were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 dye-labeled anti-rabbit IgG or Alexa Fluor 594 dye-labeled anti-mouse IgG (Beyotime, China). Finally, the sections were sealed with Antifade Mounting Medium with DAPI (Beyotime, China). Images were visualized using a confocal microscope (Olympus, Japan).

Protein quantification was performed with a Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology), and 30–50 μg of total protein was resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, 8%). Protein levels were determined via incubation with antibodies against NF-κB-p65 (1:500; Abcam, UK), IκBα (1:500; Abcam, UK), NLRP3 (1:500; Abcam, UK), caspase-1 (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), caspase-11 (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), IL-1β (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), IL-18 (1:500; Abcam, UK), Synapsin-1 (1:500; Millipore, USA), PSD-95 (1:500; Abcam, UK), GSDMD (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), Lamin B (1:1000; Proteintech, USA), and GAPDH (1:500; Abcam, UK). The blots were imaged with ECL Plus western blotting detection reagents. ImageJ software was used to determine the average absorbance value of the corresponding bands.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
