Résumé
Gout is a chronic self-limiting inflammatory arthritis. An increase in metallothionein-1 (MT-1) has been reported in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and it attenuates inflammation and the pathology of diseases. This study aims to detect MT-1 levels in patients with gout and to explore its correlation with disease activity, clinical indexes, and inflammatory cytokines. The expression of MT-1 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and protein levels in patients with gout were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations between MT-1 and clinical indexes or inflammatory mediators were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test. Compared with healthy controls (HCs, The higher levels of MT-1 were found in patients with gout, which were correlated with disease activity and gout related pro-inflammatory cytokines. Indicating MT-1 may serve as a new marker for predicting disease activity.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
UNASSIGNED
Gout is a chronic self-limiting inflammatory arthritis. An increase in metallothionein-1 (MT-1) has been reported in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and it attenuates inflammation and the pathology of diseases. This study aims to detect MT-1 levels in patients with gout and to explore its correlation with disease activity, clinical indexes, and inflammatory cytokines.
METHODS
UNASSIGNED
The expression of MT-1 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and protein levels in patients with gout were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations between MT-1 and clinical indexes or inflammatory mediators were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test.

CONCLUSION
UNASSIGNED
The higher levels of MT-1 were found in patients with gout, which were correlated with disease activity and gout related pro-inflammatory cytokines. Indicating MT-1 may serve as a new marker for predicting disease activity.
