Methods: Human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549 cells) were cultured, and were divided into normal control group (NC group), A. baumannii infection group (A. baumannii group), NF-κB inhibitor group (JSH group), A. baumannii infection + sodium acetate group (NaAc group), A. baumannii infection + sodium propionate group (NaPc group) and A. baumannii infection + sodium butyrate group (NaB group). Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-6, and TGF-β in A549 cells. Western blotting assay was used to determine the expression of autophagy and “pyroptosis” related proteins of NRLP3, cleaved-Caspase-1 (P20), GSDMD (P30), LC-3 and Beclin-1. At the same time, the expression of NF-κB p65 protein in nucleus and cytoplasm of A549 cells was detected. The level of reactive oxygen species in A549 cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results: Compared with A. baumannii group, the mRNA expression of NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-6 in NaAc group, NaPc group and NaB group decreased significantly, the mRNA expression of Caspase-1 in NaPc group and NaB group decreased significantly, only the mRNA expression of TGF-β in NaB group increased significantly;LC3-II expression increased significantly in NaPc group and NaB group, only Beclin-1 expression increased and GSDMD (p30) expression decreased significantly in NaB group. All three kinds of SCFAs could significantly inhibit the expression of cleaved-Caspase-1 (p20) after A. baumannii infection, but there was no significant change in the protein expression of NLRP3. Compared with NC group, the production of reactive oxygen species in A. baumannii group increased significantly at 3 h after A. baumannii infection. Compared with A. baumannii group, NaB could significantly suppress the production of reactive oxygen species induced by A. baumannii. Compared with A. bauman展开更多
