Glioma is the most common malignancy in the central nervous system. This study aims to disclose the impacts of Xihuang pill (XHP), a traditional Chinese formula, on glioma cell pyroptosis and relevant molecular mechanism. U251 and SHG-44 cells were treated with XHP alone or together with oe-POU4F1 and sh-STAT3. CCK8 assay detected the viability, flow cytometry evaluated pyroptosis, and microscopy observed cell morphology. LDH release was determined by the LDH kit and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were detected by ELISA. Immunofluorescence show...
