Soluble uric acid increases PDZK1 and ABCG2 expression in human intestinal cell lines via the TLR4-NLRP3 inflammasome and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2018
BackgroundIn addition to the kidney, the intestine is one of the most important organs involved in uric acid excretion. However, the mechanism of urate excretion in the intestine remains unclear.

Effects of uric acid-lowering therapy on the progression of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesRenal Failure, 2018
Objectives: Whether uric acid levels were associated with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remained controversial. This meta-analysis was aimed to assess the effect of lowering serum uric acid therapy on the progression of CKD to clarify ...

Correlation between serum levels of uric acid with bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women

open access: yesIranian South Medical Journal, 2015
Background: There is accumulation evidence regarding the protective role of higher serum uric acid in bone loss and osteoprotic fractures. This effect may arise from its antioxidant properties.

Tubular Handling of Uric Acid and Factors Influencing Its Renal Excretion: A Short Review [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Medical Journal Nephrology, 2016
In this review, the authors briefly examine the most recent evidence concerning the role of several proteins involved in tubular urate transport. They also analyse the influence of extracellular volume, electrolyte disorders, acid-base imbalance, and ...

Uric acid transporter inhibitors for gout

open access: yesADMET and DMPK, 2017
Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis that is caused by chronically-elevated serum uric acid (sUA) levels (hyperuricemia). In humans, sUA levels are predominantly controlled by a variety of transporters that mediate the elimination of uric acid through

Association between serum uric acid and cardiovascular risk in nonhypertensive and nondiabetic individuals: The Taiwan I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Serum uric acid level is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether it is an independent risk factor or not remains controversial. We analyzed the association between serum uric acid level and cardiovascular risk.

High uric acid model in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFood Science and Human Wellness, 2019
To establish experimental high uric acid model in C. elegans. Hypoxanthine, adenine, xanthine, and uric acid were used to treat C. elegans and then hyperuricemic C. elegans was evaluated by allopurinol. Hyperuricemic C. elegans were obtained after normal

The systems biology of uric acid transporters: the role of remote sensing and signaling

open access: yesCurrent opinion in nephrology and hypertension, 2018
Purpose of review Uric acid homeostasis in the body is mediated by a number of SLC and ABC transporters in the kidney and intestine, including several multispecific ‘drug’ transporters (e.g., OAT1, OAT3, and ABCG2).
