PG - 513-517 LID - 10.1080/14397595.2017.1369924 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Monosodium urate (MSU) has been shown to promote interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) secretion in human monocytes, but the priming signals for NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the role of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on MSU-mediated IL-1beta induction in human neutrophils. METHODS: Human neutrophils were stimulated with MSU, in the presence or absence of TNF-alpha priming. The cellular supernatants were analyzed for IL-1beta, IL-18, and caspase-1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Pro-IL-1beta mRNA expressions in human neutrophils were analyzed by real-time PCR method. RESULTS: TNF-alpha stimulation induced pro-IL-1beta mRNA expression; however, MSU stimulation did not induce pro-IL-1beta mRNA expression in human neutrophils. TNF-alpha alone or MSU stimulation did not result in efficient IL-1beta secretion in human neutrophils, whereas in TNF-alpha-primed neutrophils, MSU stimulation resulted in a marked IL-1beta and IL-18 secretion. TNF-alpha-primed neutrophils secreted cleaved caspase-1 (p20), in response to MSU stimulation. CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrate that priming of human neutrophils with TNF-alpha promotes uric acid-mediated IL-1beta secretion in the absence of microbial stimulation. These findings provide insights into the neutrophils-mediated inflammatory processes in gouty arthritis.
