The mRNA levels of IL-1β, CASP-1, ASC and NLRP3 in HT-29 (a) and HCT116 (b) cells treated with lobaplatin (16 μg/ml) for 8 h was detected by qRT-PCR. Supernatants (SN) and cell extracts (Lysate) were analyzed by western blotting analysis (c, d). ELISA for IL-1β and LDH release of HT-29 (e, f) and HCT116 (g, h) cells treated with lobaplatin in the presence or absence of Z-YVAD-FMK or siRNA-NLPR3 transfection. All the data are presented as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. control using one-way ANOVA
