Fig. 3: Cleavage of Gasdermin D in autophagy-deficient liver is inhibited by deletion of Caspase-11, but not Nlrp3.

A, C Liver lysates from 9-week-old mice of the indicated genotypes were analyzed for proteolytic cleavage activity for Ac-LLSD-AFC. B, D Liver lysates from 9-week-old mice of the indicated genotypes were analyzed for the cleavage activity for Ac-YVAD-AFC. E, F Liver lysates from 9-week-old mice of the indicated genotypes were analyzed by immunoblotting. The GASDERMIN D (GSDMD) fragment, indicated by the arrow, was detected using an antibody specific to the N-terminal fragment. Bar graph shows the relative intensity of caspase-11 and cleaved GSDMD. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, n.s: not significant (n = 3).
