(A) Quantification of cleaved caspase-5 (p20), pro-caspase-1 (p50), AIM2 and ASC protein levels. Tissues were collected from AAA sites with high or low rupture risk (RR) and compared with samples derived from normal aorta (control). Samples were processed for protein analysis as described in Materials and Methods. Horizontal bar, median. (B) Western blot analysis of AIM2 and cleaved caspase-5, derived from 10 AAA lysates (AAA1 to AAA10). AAA sites with high (h) and low (l) rupture risk, derived from the same patient, were compared. K, negative control.
