Following its entry into the cochlea and uptake by cells via either simple or facilitated diffusion, cisplatin induces an inflammatory response through various signaling pathways, including TLR4-NF-kappaB activation, TLR4-NF-κB-NLRP3 inflammasome activation, NOX3-NF-kappaB activation, NOX3-STAT1 activation, XO-NF-kappaB/STAT1 activation, reductions in antioxidant enzyme levels, STAT3 inhibition, and mast cell degranulation. The upregulation of proinflammatory mediators in the cochlea leads to the infiltration and activation of macrophages.
