1 Toll-like receptor 4 is activated by platinum and contributes to cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Cisplatin toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
2 In this work, we test whether TLR4 can be activated by the Group 10 metal platinum and the platinum-based chemotherapeutic cisplatin. Cisplatin toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
3 We demonstrate that platinum and cisplatin activate pathways downstream of TLR4 to a similar extent as the known TLR4 agonists LPS and nickel. Cisplatin toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
4 We further show that TLR4 is required for cisplatin-induced inflammatory, oxidative, and cell death responses in hair cells in vitro and for hair cell damage in vivo. Cisplatin toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
5 Finally, we identify a TLR4 small molecule inhibitor able to curtail cisplatin toxicity in vitro. Cisplatin toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
