Injection of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, the etiological cause of
gouty arthritis, into murine peritoneal cavities produced an intense
recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). After 3 mg MSU
crystal injection, cell influx was maximal (~ 10 × 106 cells per mouse) at 6 hr postinjection and sustained up
to the 24 hr time-point. In mice depleted of mast cells by
administration of compound 48/80 72 hr before challenge with MSU
crystals a lower PMN influx was measured (58% reduction). The
occurrence of endogenous mast cell activation, in the MSU response, was
validated by the observation that MSU challenge reduced by more than
90% the number of intact mast cells recovered in the peritoneal
washes. Pretreatment of mice with a histamine H1 antagonist
(tripolidine; 0.5 mg/kg) or a platelet-activating factor receptor
antagonist (WEB2086; 10 mg/kg) significantly reduced by 50 to 60% the
number of PMN recovered from the peritoneal cavities. The molecular
determinants of this process of leukocyte recruitment were also
investigated. Treatment of mice with an anti-CD62P or anti-CD62E
monoclonal antibody (mAb; 100 µg i.v.) produced a distinct inhibition
of PMN recruitment measured at 6 hr, whereas only a combined
administration of both monoclonal antibodies was effective in reducing
by 60% the influx of PMN caused by the MSU crystals within 24 hr. In conclusion, these data highlight a role for endogenous mast cells and
for endothelial-derived selectins in MSU crystal-induced PMN recruitment into the peritoneal cavity, and may be useful to dissect molecular mechanism(s) which may be operating in gouty arthritis.
