Abstract Background: α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) has been demonstrated to be involved in numerous of inflammatory diseases. Cell pyroptosis is a kind of cell death accompanied by inflammation. Objectives: The objective of this work is to explore the function of α7nAChR on cell pyroptosis in cervical cancer cells. Methods: Immunoblotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were employed to examine the function of α7nAChR on cell pyroptosis and metabolic changes. Results: Herein, we found that α7nAChR inhibition led to cell pyroptosis in HeLa and SiHa of cervical cancer cells, which was attributed to the… More >
