It was observed that Huh-7 and A549 cells showed distinct pyroptotic cell death, elevated LDH levels, and GSDME cleavage upon ZIKV infection, whereas HeLa, HEK-293T, and SH-SY5Y cells exhibited no obvious cytopathic effects even at 72 hr post-infection (Figure 2A-C). This evidence concerns the gene GSDME and infection.
