1 Cluster of differentiation (CD) 38, a major enzyme for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) degradation, plays a key role in inflammation. NAD CD38 antigen Mus musculus
2 Cluster of differentiation (CD) 38, a major enzyme for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) degradation, plays a key role in inflammation. NAD CD38 antigen Mus musculus
3 However, CD38 inhibition by 78c elevated intracellular NAD+ levels and suppressed IL-1beta release in MSU crystals-treated THP-1 macrophages and BMDMs. NAD CD38 antigen Mus musculus
4 In conclusion, the present study revealed that MSU crystals could activate CD38 with the ensuing intracellular NAD+ decline to promote inflammatory responses in THP-1 macrophages and BMDMs, while CD38 inhibition could suppress MSU crystals-triggered inflammatory responses, indicating that CD38 is a potential therapeutic target for gout. NAD CD38 antigen Mus musculus
