Individual cytokine measurements in the compared groups. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons revealed the main source of differences in the gout attack group were: interleukin (IL)-1b, IL-1ra, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-13, IL-17, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-basic, interferon gamma (IFNγ), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). IL-5, IL-10, and IL-12 levels gradually decreased from control to gout attack group. Eotaxin, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) showed significantly higher values for controls. There were no associations between the p.Q141K allele and cytokine levels. p-values via an ANOVA model using log-transformed measurements (except eotaxin) are corrected for multiple comparisons (Benjamini–Hochberg method). n.s. p > 0.05, * p ≤ 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
