This study shows that MSU crystals have significant inhibitory effects on osteocyte viability, but no direct effect on osteocyte gene expression in vitro. In contrast, in conditioned media experiments, factors released by macrophages in response to MSU crystals have profound effects on the expression profile of osteocytes, with upregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines and mediators, and altered expression of factors involved in bone remodeling.
