Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of ASIC1a protects HK-2 cells from H/R injury and reduces H/R-induced NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-κB activation. PcTx-1 (25 ng mL −1 ) was administered to HK-2 cells before H/R treatment. A Typical image of apoptosis measured by TUNEL in HK-2 cells. B The number of TUNEL-positive cells in the photographic area. C The cell viability of HK-2 cells assessed by CCK-8 assay. D – J Western blot and densitometry analysis of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-caspase-1 p20, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, p-NF-κB p65, and NF-κB p65 expression in HK-2 cells. K Typical image of the NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in HK-2 cells; nucleus NF-κB p65 indicated by purple arrows; cytoplasm NF-κB p65 indicated by red arrows. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, n = 6
