The results showed that both in vivo and in vitro M-18C reduced the release of TNF-α and IL-1β by inhibiting the expression of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) protein; in addition, M-18C was able to intervene in LPS-induced AKI by ameliorating renal pathological injury, repairing the intestinal barrier, and regulating gut bacterial flora and serum metabolism. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is acute kidney injury.
