The mechanism by which monosodium urate (MSU) crystals induce inflammation is not completely understood. Few studies have shown that MSU is capable of stimulating the release of IL-1β in the absence of LPS treatment. The purinergic P2X7 receptor is involved in the release of IL-1β in inflammatory settings caused by crystals, as is the case in silicosis.
