GFP). Cellular and molecular effects of Pt-RNA were evaluated by luminogenic caspase 3/7 assays, PCR array analysis, and fluorescence microscopy-based quantification of apoptosis in C. elegans gonads. Assuming RNA cross-linking (pseudo double-stranded RNA), the contribution of the Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3, a sensor of double-stranded RNA) to apoptosis induction in cancer cell lines was investigated by pharmacological TLR3 inhibition and overexpression. In contrast to controls, Pt-RNA significantly enhanced apoptosis in C. elegans (2-fold) and in the cancer cell lines (2-fold to 4-fold). TLR3 overexpression significantly enhanced the pro-apoptotic effects of Pt-RNA in HepG2 cells. TLR3 inhibition reduced the pro-apoptotic effects of Pt-RNA and cisplatin, but not of paclitaxel (off-target control). Gene expression analysis showed that Pt-RNA (but not RNA) significantly enhanced the mRNA levels of nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 and interleukin-8 in HepG2 cells, suggesting that Pt-RNA is a damage-associated molecular pattern that additionally causes pro-inflammatory responses. Together, this data suggests that not only DNA but also cellular RNA is a functionally relevant target of cisplatin, leading to pro-apoptotic and immunogenic effects.
