GlcN inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome in the mouse model of uric acid crystal-mediated peritonitis. (A) Peritoneal recruitment of neutrophils and total peritoneal lavage cells were measured by flow cytometry. (B) The peritoneal levels of IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. Control group: N = 3; MSU group: N = 10; GlcN + MSU group: N = 10; Colchicine + MSU group: N = 8. *, **, *** and **** indicate a significant difference at the level of p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively, compared to MSU group. (One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test).
