Abstract
BACKGROUND Gouty arthritis is a complex form of inflammatory arthritis, triggered by the sedimentation of monosodium urate crystals in periarticular tissues, synovial joints, and other sites in the body. Curcumin is a natural polyphenol compound, isolated from the rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa, possessing countless physiological features, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-rheumatic qualities. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to discuss the beneficial impacts of curcumin and its mechanism in treating gout disease. METHODS Ten English and Persian databases were used to conduct a thorough literature search. Studies examining the anti-gouty arthritis effects of curcumin and meeting the inclusion criteria were included. RESULTS According to the studies, curcumin has shown xanthine oxidase and urate transporter- 1 inhibitory properties, uric acid inhibitory characteristics, and antioxidant and anti- inflammatory effects. However, some articles found no prominent reduction in uric acid levels. CONCLUSION In this review, we emphasized the potency of curcumin and its compounds against gouty arthritis. Despite the potency, we suggest an additional well-designed evaluation of curcumin, before its therapeutic effectiveness is completely approved as an antigouty arthritis agent.

Effect of Intestinal Flora on Hyperuricemia-Induced Chronic Kidney Injury in Type 2 Diabetic Patients and the Therapeutic Mechanism of New Anti-Diabetic Prescription Medications. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2023; 16:3029-3044. [PMID: 37794899 PMCID: PMC10547008 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s429068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
This article examined the current research on hyperuricemia (HUA) exacerbating diabetic kidney damage and novel anti-diabetic medications for treating these people. Hyperuricemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D), both of which are frequent metabolic disorders, are closely connected. Recent studies have shown that hyperuricemia can increase kidney injury in T2D patients by aggravating insulin resistance, by activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and by stimulating inflammatory factors, and the diversity, distribution, and metabolites of intestinal flora. Considering this, there are just a few of the research examining the effect of hyperuricemia on diabetic kidney injury via intestinal flora. Through the gut-kidney axis, intestinal flora primarily influences renal function. The primary mechanism is that variations in diversity, distribution, and metabolites of intestinal flora led to alterations in metabolites (such as short-chain fatty acids, Indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol sulfate, Trimethylamine N-oxide TMAO). This article reviewed the research and investigates the association between hyperuricemia and T2D, as well as the influence of hyperuricemia on diabetic kidney injury via intestinal flora. In addition, the current novel antidiabetic drugs are discussed, and their characteristics and mechanisms of action are reviewed. These novel antidiabetic drugs include SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, DDP-4 inhibitors, glucokinase (GK) enzyme activators (GK agonists), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA). Recent studies suggest that these new anti-diabetic medications may have a therapeutic effect on hyperuricemia-induced kidney impairment in diabetes patients via various mechanisms. Some of these medications may reduce blood uric acid levels, while others may improve kidney function by attenuating the overstimulation of RAAS or by decreasing insulin resistance and inflammation in the kidneys. These novel antidiabetic medicines may have a multifaceted approach to treating hyperuricemia-induced kidney impairment in diabetic patients; nevertheless, additional study is required to establish their efficacy and comprehend their specific mechanisms.

[PMID: 35812134 PMCID: PMC9259749 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s356307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Gouty arthritis could be triggered by the deposition of monosodium uric acid (MSU) crystals. Palmatine (PAL), a protoberberine alkaloid, has been proven to possess compelling health-beneficial activities. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of PAL on LPS plus MSU crystal-stimulated gouty arthritis in vitro and in vivo. Methods PMA-differentiated THP-1 macrophages were primed with LPS and then stimulated with MSU crystal in the presence or absence of PAL. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress-related biomarkers and signal pathway key targets were determined by ELISA kit, Western blot, immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR, respectively. In addition, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of PAL on MSU-induced arthritis mice were also evaluated. Results The results indicated that PAL (20, 40 and 80 μM) dose-dependently decreased the mRNA expression and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)). The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) were remarkably enhanced, while the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was reduced. Western blot analysis revealed that PAL appreciably inhibited NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathways through inhibiting the phosphorylation of p-65 and IκBα, blocking the expression of NLRP3, ASC, IL-1β and Caspase-1, as well as enhancing the antioxidant protein expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. In vivo, PAL attenuated MSU-induced inflammation in gouty arthritis, as evidenced by mitigating the joint swelling, and decreasing the productions of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α and MDA, while enhancing the levels of SOD and GSH. Moreover, PAL further attenuated the infiltration of neutrophils into joint synovitis. Conclusion PAL protected against MSU-induced inflammation and oxidative stress via regulating the NF-κB/NLRP3 and Nrf2 pathways. PAL may represent a potential candidate for the treatment of gouty arthritis.

Abstract
HMGB1, a highly conserved non-histone nuclear protein, is widely expressed in mammalian cells. HMGB1 in the nucleus binds to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to regulate the structure of chromosomes and maintain the transcription, replication, DNA repair, and nucleosome assembly. HMGB1 is actively or passively released into the extracellular region during cells activation or necrosis. Extracellular HMGB1 as an alarmin can initiate immune response alone or combined with other substances such as nucleic acid to participate in multiple biological processes. It has been reported that HMGB1 is involved in various inflammatory responses and autoimmunity. This review article summarizes the physiological function of HMGB1, the post-translational modification of HMGB1, its interaction with different receptors, and its recent advances in rheumatic diseases and strategies for targeted therapy.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic syndrome. Elevated uric acid levels are risk factors for gout, hypertension, and chronic kidney diseases. Furthermore, various epidemiological studies have also demonstrated an association between cardiovascular risks and hyperuricemia. In hyperuricemia, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced simultaneously with the formation of uric acid by xanthine oxidases. Intracellular uric acid has also been reported to promote the production of ROS. The ROS and the intracellular uric acid itself regulate several intracellular signaling pathways, and alterations in these pathways may result in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. In this review, we describe the effect of uric acid on various molecular signals and the potential mechanisms of atherosclerosis development in hyperuricemia. Furthermore, we discuss the efficacy of treatments for hyperuricemia to protect against the development of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-1 family cytokines and their receptors have important roles in innate and partly in adaptive immunity. The family consists of 11 members of which IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-33, IL-36α, IL-36β and IL-36γ are considered pro-inflammatory and IL-1Ra, IL-36Ra, IL-37 and IL-38 anti-inflammatory. Whereas IL-1β has a known pivotal role in gout, increasing evidence suggests other IL-1 family members are also involved in the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia and gout flares. FINDINGS Studies indicate IL-1α, like IL-1β, plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of gout flares. IL-18, although elevated in patients with gout, does not contribute to MSU crystal-induced inflammation, but may be involved in the subsequent development of cardiovascular disease in individuals with gout. The role of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-36 in gout remains elusive. In contrast, IL-1Ra, IL-33, IL-37 and IL-38 inhibit MSU crystal-induced inflammation and therefore have therapeutic potential for treatment of gout flares. In addition to existing IL-1β blockers, several new therapeutics to treat gout are being developed either inhibiting the transcription or maturation of IL-1β. CONCLUSION In this review, IL-1 family cytokines are discussed in the context of hyperuricemia and gout. Finally, current and novel therapeutic options for targeting IL-1 are reviewed.

Abstract
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in humans, and its excessive accumulation leads to hyperuricemia and urate crystal deposition in tissues including joints and kidneys. Hyperuricemia is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Although the symptoms of hyperuricemia-induced renal injury have long been known, the pathophysiological molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. In this review, we focus on the research advances in the mechanisms of hyperuricemia-caused renal injury, primarily on oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, renal fibrosis, and inflammation. Furthermore, we discuss the progress in hyperuricemia management.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether lncRNA TUG1 could mediate the progression of ischemia-reperfusion injury following acute myocardial infraction. Mouse cardiomyocytes HL-1 cells were subjected to oxygen glucose deprivation followed by reperfusion (OGD/R) to induce myocardial I/R injury. The expression of TUG1 was detected by real-time PCR. Overexpression or down expression of TUG1 was performed in mouse HL-1 cardiomyocytes. The myocardial cell viability and apoptosis were respectively detected. In addition, the expression levels of inflammatory factors, apoptosis-related proteins and HMGB1 proteins were detected. Besides, an inhibitor of HMGB1 was used to treat cells to verify the relationship between TUG1 and HMGB1 protein. The expression of TUG1 was significantly up-regulated in OGD/R-induced myocardial HL-1 cells. The overexpression of TUG1-induced inflammation and apoptosis in OGD-R-induced myocardial HL-1 cells. Knock down of TUG1 protected OGD/R-induced myocardial I/R injury by inhibiting HMGB1 expression. Suppression of lncRNA TUG1 may prevent myocardial I/R injury following acute myocardial infarction via inhibiting HMGB1 expression.
