The Endogenous Danger Signal Uric Acid Augments Contact Hypersensitivity Responses in Mice

Abstract: Objective: The danger hypothesis proposes that the immune system responds not only to foreign antigens but also to damaged cells or tissues. Recently, uric acid crystals (monosodium urate, MSU) from necrotic cell lysates were identified as a danger signal for dendritic cells (DCs). Our aim was to determine whether MSU modulates immune responses in the skin. Method: We analyzed the effect of MSU on trinitrochlorobenzene-induced contact hypersensitivity responses using BALB/c mice administered potassium oxonate,… Show more

“…Nickel was able to induce CD69 molecule on both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells after 24 hours in the present study. An study investigating the effect of monosodium urateontrinitrochlorobenzene-induced contact hypersensitivity responses in mice has revealed increased expression of CD69 on both CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes indicating activation of both cell types 22. Interaction between activated T cell subsets particularly in contact dermatitis appears to be complex.…”

“…Finally we evaluated the expression of CD44 and CD69 on CD4+ T cells after incubation with the supernatant (50 ”L) of the eosinophil culture alone or plus anti-HMGB1 antibodies (2 ”g/mL). CD44 and CD69 were reported to be T cell activation markers 9. Levels of cytokine and HMGB1 in the culture supernatants were determined by ELISA.…”

“…Nevertheless, Liu and colleagues showed that MSU enhances the CHS response in BALB/c mice. Indeed, MSU promoted DC maturation and T cell activation, suggesting that it may act as an endogenous adjuvant to potentiate immune response [ 82 ].…”
