Fig. 3From: Acidification changes affect the inflammasome in human nucleus pulposus cellsNLRP1 and NLRP3 protein expression is decreased at pathological pH. Representative immunoblot analysis (a) of NLRP1, NLRP2, NLRP3, NLRC4 and AIM2 at three different pH levels (7.4, 6.8 and 6.5). Densitometric analysis corresponds to NLRP1 (b) and NLRP3 (c). β-actin was used as an internal standard for protein loading control. Data presented as mean+/−SEM. **p < 0.05 compared to 6.8 and *p < 0.05 compared to 7.4. N = 6 wells per groupBack to article page
