PG - 6370-8 AB - Phagocyte ingestion of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals can induce proinflammatory responses and trigger acute gouty inflammation. Alternatively, the uptake of MSU crystals by mature macrophages can be noninflammatory and promote resolution of gouty inflammation. Macrophage activation by extracellular MSU crystals involves apparent recognition and ingestion mediated by TLR2 and TLR4, with subsequent intracellular recognition linked to caspase-1 activation and IL-1beta processing driven by the NACHT-LRR-PYD-containing protein-3 inflammasome. In this study, we examined the potential role in gouty inflammation of CD14, a phagocyte-expressed pattern recognition receptor that functionally interacts with both TLR2 and TLR4. MSU crystals, but not latex beads, directly bound recombinant soluble (s) CD14 in vitro. CD14(-/-) bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) demonstrated unimpaired phagocytosis of MSU crystals but reduced p38 phosphorylation and approximately 90% less IL-1beta and CXCL1 release. Attenuated MSU crystal-induced IL-1beta release in CD14(-/-) BMDMs was mediated by decreased pro-IL-1beta protein expression and additionally by decreased caspase-1 activation and IL-1beta processing consistent with diminished NACHT-LRR-PYD-containing protein-3 inflammasome activation. Coating of MSU crystals with sCD14, but not sTLR2 or sTLR4, restored IL-1beta and CXCL1 production in CD14(-/-) BMDMs in vitro. Gain of function of CD14 directly enhanced TLR4-mediated signaling in response to MSU crystals in transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro. Last, MSU crystal-induced leukocyte influx at 6 h was reduced by approximately 75%, and local induction of IL-1beta decreased by >80% in CD14(-/-) mouse s.c. air pouches in vivo. We conclude that engagement of CD14 is a central determinant of the inflammatory potential of MSU crystals.
