Dynamics of NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL-1β mRNA expression in cutaneous lesions in rabbits infected with T. pallidum. a Dynamics of NLRP3 mRNA in cutaneous lesions in rabbits infected with T. pallidum. b Dynamics of caspase-1 mRNA in cutaneous lesions in rabbits infected with T. pallidum. c Dynamics of IL-1β mRNA in cutaneous lesions in rabbits infected with T. pallidum. The arrow shows the time point of BPG treatment. Values represent the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments. A one-way analysis of variance was employed to examine the differences in the three groups, and Dunnett’s post-comparison test was used to conduct multiple comparisons. * P < 0.05, the BPG treatment subgroup or no BPG treatment subgroup vs. the blank group. # P < 0.05, the BPG treatment subgroup vs. the no BPG treatment subgroup
