Abstract
Objective Deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals in the joints promotes an intense inflammatory response and joint dysfunction. This study evaluated the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX)–derived leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in driving tissue inflammation and hypernociception in a murine model of gout. Methods Gout was induced by injecting MSU crystals into the joints of mice. Wild-type mice and mice...
