Gouty arthritis is characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) within synovial joints and tissues due to increased urate concentrations. Here, we elucidated the role of the natural compound cichoric acid (CA) on the MSU crystal-stimulated inflammatory response. The THP-1-derived macrophages (THP-Ms) were pretreated with CA and then stimulated with MSU suspensions. The protein levels of p65 and IκBα, the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by measuring the expression of its downstream inflammatory cytokines, and the activity of NLRP3 inflammasome were measured by western blotting and ELISA. CA treatment markedly inhibited the degradation of IκBα and the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and reduced the levels of its downstream inflammatory genes such as IL-1β, TNF-α, COX-2, and PGE2 in the MSU-stimulated THP-M cells. Therefore, we infer that CA effectively alleviated MSU-induced inflammation by suppressing the degradation of IκBα, thereby reducing the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and the NLRP3 inflammasome. These results suggest that CA could be a novel therapeutic strategy in averting acute episodes of gout.

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) may cause lethal subarachnoid hemorrhage upon rupture, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to analyze the transcriptional profiles to explore the functions and regulatory networks of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in IA rupture by bioinformatics methods and to identify the underlying mechanisms. In this study, 1,471 DEGs were obtained, of which 619 were upregulated and 852 were downregulated. Gene enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in the inflammatory response, immune response, neutrophil chemotaxis, and macrophage differentiation. Related pathways include the regulation of actin cytoskeleton, leukocyte transendothelial migration, nuclear factor κB signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway. The enrichment analysis of 20 hub genes, subnetworks, and significant enrichment modules of weighted gene coexpression network analysis showed that the inflammatory response and immune response had a causal relationship with the rupture of unruptured IAs (UIAs). Next, the CIBERSORT method was used to analyze immune cell infiltration into ruptured IAs (RIAs) and UIAs. Macrophage infiltration into RIAs increased significantly compared with that into UIAs. The result of principal component analysis revealed that there was a difference between RIAs and UIAs in immune cell infiltration. A 4-gene immune-related risk model for IA rupture (IRMIR), containing CXCR4, CXCL3, CX3CL1, and CXCL16, was established using the glmnet package in R software. The receiver operating characteristic value revealed that the model represented an excellent clinical situation for potential application. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed and showed that the concentrations of CXCR4 and CXCL3 in serum from RIA patients were significantly higher than those in serum from UIA patients. Finally, a competing endogenous RNA network was constructed to provide a potential explanation for the mechanism of immune cell infiltration into IAs. Our findings highlighted the importance of immune cell infiltration into RIAs, providing a direction for further research.
