We apply small animal fluorescence imaging to detect the fungal burden in the lungs and living body micro-CT scans of mice and in vitro tissue micro-CT scans to compare differences in infection foci nodules and histopathological lesions, and the activation of caspase-1 and downstream cytokines were detected by Western bolt and ELISA, etc. The results demonstrated that cryptococcal infection can activate the Nod-like receptors of caspase-1 activation and NLRC4 inflammasomes in macrophages and dendritic cells and affect downstream IL-1β and IL-18 release. Here, NLRC4 is linked to infection.
