This federal Project Grant award, totaling $317,476.00, was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The award will support research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to investigate the molecular genetic causes of gout flares. The project aims to conduct differential gene expression analysis of myeloid cell subsets in peripheral blood and synovial fluid samples before and during gout flares, as well as stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells ex vivo to gain mechanistic insights into the role of specific candidate genes in triggering the NLRP3 inflammasome and gout flares. This innovative, time-sensitive study leverages the resources of an ongoing clinical trial, Treat-to-Target vs Treat-to-Avoid-Symptoms (TRUST), to collect crucial synovial fluid samples during active gout flares. The findings are expected to provide new knowledge on genetically-based mechanisms of gout flares and identify potential therapeutic targets.
