Gout is an inflammatory arthritis initiated by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals (MSU) around the joints and surrounding tissues. MSU crystals activate the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Gout can have a substantial impact on patient’s quality of life, and currently available medicines are unable to meet all the clinical needs. This study explored anti-gout potentials of the Rice14 (R14) peptide, a peptide derived from leaves of wild riceOryza minuta. The effects of R14 peptide on IL-1β secretion in THP-1 macrophages with MSU crystals-induced inflammation were examined. Our results clearly showed that the R14 peptide significantly inhibited the secretion of IL-1β in MSU crystals-induced macrophages, and the effects were dose-related. For safety testing, the R14 peptide did not show both cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity. In addition, the R14 peptide strongly suppressed the phospho-IκB-α and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) p65 proteins in NF-κB signaling pathway, reduced the NLRP3 expression and inhibited the MSU crystals-mediated cleavage of caspase-1 as well as mature IL-1β. The R14 peptide also reduced MSU-triggered intracellular ROS levels in macrophages. Taken together, these results indicated that R14 peptide inhibited MSU crystals-induced IL-1β production through NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our findings demonstrated that R14 peptide, the newly recognized peptide from wild rice, possessed potent regulatory activity against IL-1β production in MSU crystals-induced inflammation, and we therefore propose that the R14 peptide is a promising molecule with potential clinical application in the treatment of MSU crystals-induced inflammation.
