Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic representation of the experimental design. (B-D) K562 cells were pretreated with 0.1 μM nilotinib (B-D), 0.1–1 μM imatinib, 0.1–1 μM dasatinib (B), 20–1000 nM ponatinib, or 100–1000 nM bosutinib (C) for 24 h and subsequently differentiated with 50 μM hemin for another 24 h. (B, C) Hemoglobin accumulation and protein levels of NLRP1, phosphorylated P38 (pP38), GATA1, ZAKα, and ACTB were assessed by Western blot. Immunoblots are representative of three independent experiments. The asterisk (*) denotes the GATA1 protein band. (D) CASP1 activity was quantified using FLICA-CASP1 staining and analyzed by flow cytometry. Representative histograms of CASP1 activity at different differentiation times are shown.
