NRBP1 is overexpressed in PBMCs from gout patients. a Relative NRBP1 mRNA expression in freshly isolated PBMCs from 15 gout patients and 17 healthy controls detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The expression level of NRBP1 is normalized to GAPDH and is represented as mean ± SEM. (P value = 0.004, Student’s t test, unpaired, two-sided). b NRBP1 protein expression in freshly isolated PMBCs from 7 gout patients and healthy controls detected by Western blotting
