Determination of CD14-mediated MSU crystals uptake in macrophages after Kin. (a) Expressions of CD14 were compared in macrophages treated with MSU crystals and Kin. (b) Uptake of MSU crystals was analyzed with flow cytometry as an increase in the macrophage side-scatter high (SSC-H). The data are presented as the means±S.D. **P<0.05 compared with 0 μg/ml of Kin. #P<0.05 compared with control. All data were obtained from at least three independent experiments
