4µ8C suppressed the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in lungs of LPS-induced ALI murine model. (A) Representative immunohistochemical images of NLRP3 in lungs (magnification: 200×), scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Representative western blots of NLRP3, caspase-11, Pro-IL-1β and cleaved-IL-1β. (C-E) Densitometric analyses normalized to β-tubulin. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 4–6 for each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
