Fig. 5From: Deubiquitinase USP16 induces gouty arthritis via Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission and NLRP3 inflammasome activationDeubiquitination and stabilization of Drp1 by USP16. A The protein levels of USP16 and Drp1 in macrophages were detected by western blot. B The protein stability of Drp1 was examined by western blot in the presence of CHX. C The ubiquitination of Drp1 was assessed by Co-IP. GAPDH acted as an internal control. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01, ***, P < 0.001Back to article page
