## Abstract ## Objective It has previously been shown that as monocytes differentiate into macrophages, they lose the ability to secrete proinflammatory cytokines in response to monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MSU crystals induce ma

✦ Synopsis
We investigated the effects of transforming growth factor Pl (TGFP1) on monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystal-induced acute inflammation in vivo.
Methods. One hour after MSU crystal-induced acute inflammation was produced in the rat subcutaneous air pouch model, the effects of recombinant human TGFPl (rHuTGFP1; 10-100 pglanimal) and ultrapure TGFPl (UPTGFPI; 100 and 500 pglanimal) were assessed, based on absolute and differential white blood cell counts in the exudate. The effects of 10 pg of rHuTGFP1 preincubated with a specific anti-TGFP antibody, and the effects of coinjection of crystals and rHuTGFP1, were also studied.
Results. UPTGFPl and rHuTGFPl markedly reduced MSU crystal-induced inflammation. Recombinant human TGFPl also reduced inflammation when administered concomitantly with MSU crystals. Moreover, rHuTGFPl and UPTGFP1, injected l hour after MSU crystal injection, reduced the inflammatory response in a dose-dependent manner. Injection of rHuTGFPl (100 pglanimal) resulted in a >9w0 reduction in the maximal white blood cell count, achieved 6 hours after

The authors previously reported that transforming growth factor  1 (TGF- 1 ) induces apoptosis in McA-RH7777 (7777) and McA-RH8994 (8994) rat hepatoma cell lines. Although these cell lines exhibit different responses to glucocorticoid treatment in various cellular functions and gene expression, de
