Acute gouty inflammation was induced in miR-155 knock-out (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice by MSU. a Swelling index of the foot pad model was measured by an electronic caliper at the different time points in miR-155 KO and WT mice treated with MSU (1 mg in 40 μl PBS). b Swelling index of the ankle joint model was measured by an electronic caliper at the different time points after MSU treatment (0.5 mg in 20 μl PBS). Results are representative of three independent experiments; n = 5 mice per group
