CASP1 and diabetic cardiomyopathy: STZ-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy significantly increased inflammasome formation (TLR4, NLRP3, Nek7, and GBP5), pyroptosis markers (caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18), inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), MMP9, and infiltration of monocytes (CD14), macrophage (iNOS), and dendritic cells (CD11b and CD11c) (p < 0.05).
