mammary gland, with a pronounced effect compared to QA and ICAB treatment alone. The combined administration of QA and ICAB also effectively suppressed the expression levels of p65, induced by LPS in MAC-T cells and mouse mammary glands, as well as the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in MAC-T cells (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1), caspase-11, and GSDMD were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) compared to QA and ICAB treatment alone.QA and ICAB synergistically inhibits the inflammatory response and pyroptosis in MAC-T cells and mouse mammary glands through modulation of NF-κB pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome. This study contributes novel insights into combination of QA and ICAB in the prevention and treatment of mastitis.
