Effects of SHA on the mRNA expression of NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL-1β and TNF-α in gouty ankle tissue. A NLRP3, B Caspase-1, C IL-1β and D TNF-αmRNAs were measured by real-time PCR, and the expression levels were normalized to GAPDH. All data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 5). # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 versus the saline group; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 versus the MSU group
