Localization and expression of NLRP3 in cocultured CFs and CMs. The protein expression of NLRP3, sarcomeric alpha actin and vimentin was observed in the C, M, and D groups (magnification, × 400) using a laser scanning confocal microscope. Sarcomeric alpha actin is a marker of CMs. Vimentin is a marker of CFs. Blue fluorescence indicates nuclear staining, green fluorescence indicates NLRP3 staining, purple fluorescence indicates sarcomeric alpha actinin staining (white arrow), and red fluorescence indicates vimentin staining (yellow arrow). CMs, cardiomyocytes; CFs, Cardiac fibroblasts
