In this study, we aimed to clarify whether potassium channel antagonists attenuate local inflammation in mice with monosodium urate (MSU)-induced gout.Methods: We cultured human macrophage THP-1 cells and evaluated the molecular levels of both IL-1β and potassium channels stimulated with MSU and/or potassium channel antagonists. Acute gout models were generated in IL-1β luciferase transgenic male mice using synovium-like subcutaneous air pouches with MSU injection. Their luciferase activities were monitored following potassium channel blocker treatment using the IVIS Spectrum CT imaging system. The lavages and tissues were extracted from their air pouches, followed by cell counting and pathological analysis.Results: MSU stimulation increased the gene expression levels of pro-IL-1β, P2x7r and Kv1.3, whereas the expression of Kcnq1 was decreased in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced THP-1 cells. Both high and low concentrations of the P2x7 receptor inhibitor adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) derivative periodate oxidized ATP (oATP) decreased the production of IL-1β in the supernatant of THP-1 cells. The sixth hour was the peak time of IL-1β luciferase activity after MSU intervention in vivo. oATP ameliorated the synovial IL-1β luciferase activity, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and alleviated the erosive damage in the cartilage.Conclusion: The anti-inflammatory properties of potassium channel inhibitors, especially of oATP, might point to new strategies for local anti-inflammatory therapy for acute gout.Keywords: acute gout, interleukin-1β, potassium channel, local treatment |
