Hyperuricemia remodels the serum proteome toward a higher inflammatory state

Summary: Gout is an autoinflammatory disease triggered by a complex innate immune response to MSU crystals and inflammatory triggers. While hyperuricemia is an obligatory risk factor for the development of gout, the majority of individuals with hyperuricemia never develop gout but have an increased...

description Summary: Gout is an autoinflammatory disease triggered by a complex innate immune response to MSU crystals and inflammatory triggers. While hyperuricemia is an obligatory risk factor for the development of gout, the majority of individuals with hyperuricemia never develop gout but have an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic disorders. Current management of gout aims at MSU crystal dissolution by lowering serum urate. We apply a targeted proteomic analysis, using Olink inflammation panel, to a large group of individuals with gout, asymptomatic hyperuricemia, and normouricemic controls, and we show a urate-driven inflammatory signature. We add in vivo evidence of persistent immune activation linked to urate exposure and describe immune pathways involved in the pathogenesis of gout. Our results support a pro-inflammatory effect of asymptomatic hyperuricemia and pave the way for new research into targetable mechanisms in gout and cardiometabolic complications of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
