Mitochondrial DNA replication stress triggers a pro-inflammatory endosomal pathway of nucleoid disposal
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system, but is also a major damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that engages innate immune sensors when released into the cytoplasm, outside of cells or into circulation. As a DAMP, mtDNA not only contributes to anti-viral resistance, but also causes pathogenic…

[PDF] At the Crossroads of the cGAS-cGAMP-STING Pathway and the DNA Damage Response: Implications for Cancer Progression and Treatment
The evolutionary conserved DNA-sensing cGAS-STING innate immunity pathway represents one of the most important cytosolic DNA-sensing systems that is activated in response to viral invasion and/or damage to the integrity of the nuclear envelope. The key outcome of this pathway is the production of interferon, which subsequently stimulates the transcription…

Introduction: Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic innate lymphocytes that eradicate tumor cells. The induction of durable anti-tumor immune responses by NK cells is a priority for cancer immunotherapy. Although cytosolic DNA sensing plays a crucial role in initiating anti-tumor immunity, the role of NK cell-intrinsic STING signaling is unclear….

KRTA6A and FA2H Are Hub Genes Associated With Cgas-STING-related Immunogenic Cell Death in Lung Adenocarcinoma
Abstract Background/Aim: The immunogenic cell death (ICD) pathway plays a crucial prognostic role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) therapy. The cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is an upstream mechanism that drives ICD activation, but the interaction of hub genes remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate…
The cGAS-STING pathway is dispensable in a mouse model of LMNA-cardiomyopathy despite nuclear envelope rupture
Abstract Mutations in the nuclear Lamin A/C gene (LMNA) cause diverse degenerative disorders, including malignant dilated cardiomyopathy in adults. A prevailing hypothesis postulates that LMNA mutations cause nuclear envelope ruptures that trigger pathogenic inflammatory signaling via the cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway. Here, we provide evidence against this hypothesis, using a…

ARF1 prevents aberrant type I IFN induction by regulating STING activation and recycling
Abstract Type I interferon (IFN) signalling is tightly controlled. Upon recognition of DNA by cyclic GMP AMP synthase (cGAS), stimulator of interferon genes (STING) translocates along the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi axis to induce IFN signalling. Termination is achieved through autophagic degradation or recycling of STING by retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport. Here,…
