Principles of interleukin (IL)-6-type cytokine signalling and its regulation
While the pro-inflammatory effect of microcrystalline UA is well-established 3,20 , there are several indications that soluble UA free of UA crystals has protective effects against inflammatory mechanisms and toxicity 50 with effects on macrophage polarisation towards the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype 51
These multimers promote vascular intima injury, which increases endothelial permeability, monocyte adhesion, and macrophage accumulation, leading to plaque development ( The polyol pathway consumes up to 30% of intracellular glucose under hyperglycemic conditions, with aldose reductase converting glucose to sorbitol in an NADPH-dependent reaction that depletes this critical cofactor required for glutathione reductase activity ( 2 - while triggering pro-inflammatory NF-B signaling (Yan et al., 2023)
