Primary monocytes from HC and CF (HC, n = 10; CF, n = 10) were unstimulated or stimulated with LPS which specifically targets TLR4 (10 ng/mL) for 4 hr before being stimulated for 4 hr with Flagellin (10 ng/mL with Lipofectamine 2000) for NLRC4 inflammasome, or TcdB (10 ng/mL) for Pyrin inflammasome or poly(dA:dT) dsDNA (1 μg/mL with Lipofectamine 2000) for AIM2 inflammasome. Here, AIM2 is linked to cystic fibrosis.
