GSDMD deficiency in neutrophils increases multiorgan dysfunction during lethal sepsis. (A-G) Polymicrobial sepsis was induced in Gsdmdf+/f+MRP8-Cre+ and littermate WT control (Gsdmdf+/f+MRP8-Cre−) mice via CLP. Twelve hours after CLP, mice were euthanized to collect serum, lungs, kidneys, and liver. ALT (A), AST (B), BUN (C), and creatinine (D) were measured in the serum. Histopathological images of the lungs (E), kidneys (F), and liver (G) and their corresponding scores. t-test was used to compare the means between 2 groups. ∗P < .05; ∗∗P < .01. ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen.
