- W2801359863 abstract "Inflammasome-driven inflammation is postulated to play a role in multiple sclerosis (MS), but there is no direct evidence that the nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is involved in MS pathogenesis. Uric acid was shown to be one of the danger signals involved in the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome; notably, the concentration of uric acid is increased in the serum and in the cerebrospinal fluid of MS individuals. To better investigate the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in MS-associated inflammation, we primed with lipopolysaccharide and stimulated with monosodium urate crystals PBMCs of 41 MS patients with different disease phenotypes. Eleven individuals with primary progressive MS (PPMS), 10 individuals with stable relapsing-remitting MS (SMS), 10 individuals with acute relapsing-remitting MS (AMS), 10 individuals with benign MS were analyzed; 10 healthy controls were enrolled as well in the study. The expression of the NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), caspase-1, caspase-8, IL-1β, and IL-18 inflammasome genes was evaluated by RT-PCR. NLRP3 and ASC-speck protein expression was analyzed by FlowSight AMNIS, whereas production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 and of caspase-1 and caspase-8 was measured by ELISA in supernatants. Results showed that uric acid serum concentration was significantly increased in PPMS; in these and in AMS patients, mRNA for NLRP3, ASC, and IL-18 was upregulated as well, but caspase-8 mRNA was upregulated only in PPMS. Expression of NLRP3 and ASC-speck protein was significantly increased in PPMS, SMS, and AMS patients, but IL-18 and caspase-8 production was significantly increased only in PPMS, in whom a direct correlation between hyperuricemia and caspase-8 was detected. The NLRP3/caspase-8 inflammasome pathway is activated in PPMS, possibly as a consequence of hyperuricemia. Therapeutic strategies reducing NLRP3 activation and/or lowering hyperuricemia could be useful in the therapy of PPMS." @default.
