Article Title: Cisplatin toxicity is mediated by direct binding to TLR4 through a mechanism that is distinct from metal allergens
doi: 10.1101/2022.07.06.498982
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) IL-8 secretion of HEK293-hTLR4 cells pre-treated with 0.1nM soluble recombinant human TLR4 and subsequently treated with either 1 ng/mL LPS, 200 μM Ni 2+ , or 25 μM cisplatin. Data are shown as the percentage of TLR4 activity in the absence of soluble hTLR4. Nil representative of cells treated without agonists ( n = 4 independent biological replicates for all conditions). (B) IL-8 secretion of HEK293-hTLR4 cells pre-treated with 0.1 nM soluble recombinant mouse TLR4 and subsequently treated with either 1 ng/mL LPS, 200 μM Ni 2+ , or 25 μM cisplatin. Data are shown as the percentage of TLR4 activity in the absence of soluble mTLR4 ( n = 4 independent biological replicates for LPS & Ni 2+ conditions, n = 8 independent biological replicates for Nil & Cisplatin conditions). Nil representative of cells treated without agonists. (C) IL-8 secretion of HEK293-hTLR4 cells pre-treated with different concentrations of soluble recombinant hTLR4 after treatment with 25 μM cisplatin as a percentage of IL-8 secretion without the pre-treatment condition ( n = 4 independent biological replicates). Data Information: For all panels, actual individual data from each experiment are plotted as box (25 th and 75 th percentile borders; median central band) with Tukey whiskers. Statistical analyses were performed through 2-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni multiple testing correction. ****, P < 0.0001; ns, not significant. For panel C, non-linear best-fit-curve follows four parameters, variable slope; R 2 = 0.59. Reported IC 50 = 0.09813 nM.
Article Snippet: Either soluble mTLR4 (Biotechne R&D Systems, Cat #9149-TR-050) or hTLR4 (Biotechne R&D Systems, Cat #1478-TR-050), were added 24 hrs post-seeding for 1 hr prior to agonist treatments.
