Findings: Multiple steps are required to evoke gouty inflammation, including recognition and uptake of monosodium urate (MSU), ion exchange, inflammasome activation and release of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-8. Most of the components related to gouty inflammation are associated with carcinogenesis, such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, ATP, connexins, pannexins, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, IL-1β and IL-8. Controversially, evidence also suggests that TLRs, connexins, NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β may be double-edged-swords in the influence of tumor progression. Conclusion: Most of the components of gouty inflammation are related to carcinogenic, but some of the components exert promoting or inhibiting effects depending different tissues, stages and specific types of cancers. |
