Figure 3HT-29 cells were transfected with a nonspecific (NS) siRNA or with the indicated siRNAs for 72 hours. Cells were pre-treated with 10 μM QVD-OPh (Q) plus 5 μM Birinapant (S), and exposed to 10 ng.mL-1 of TNFα (T). NS- and MLKL-silenced cells were treated with 5 μM necrosulfonamide (NSA). MLKL oligomers (MLKLn) were visualized by non-reducing SDS-PAGE after cross-linking proteins (A). Data are means ± SEM of three independent experiments. ****P<0.0001 (ANOVA).
