Show abstract
The role of Monosodium Urate (MSU) crystals in gout pathophysiology is well described, as is the major impact of IL-1b in the inflammatory reaction that constitutes the hallmark of the disease. However, despite the discovery of the NLRP3 inflammasome and its role as a Pattern Recognition Receptor linking the detection of a danger signal (MSU) to IL-1b; secretion in vitro, the precise mechanisms leading to joint inflammation in gout patients are still poorly understood. Here, we provide an extensive clinical, biological and molecular characterization of the acute uratic inflammation mouse model induced by subcutaneous injection of MSU crystals, which accurately mimics human gout. Our work reveals several key features of MSU-dependent inflammation and identifies novel therapeutic opportunities, among which the use of topical application of imiquimod to promote interferon-dependent anti-inflammatory action maybe relevant.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
