Type-1 interferon-dependent and -independent mechanisms in cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes-driven auto-inflammation.

TL;DR: In this paper , animal models have demonstrated that T1IFNs contribute to only some disease outcomes and that cGAS-STING activation also promotes T1ifN-independent pathology.

cGAS-like receptor-mediated immunity: the insect perspective.

TL;DR: The cGAS-STING pathway plays a central role in the detection of DNA in the cytosol of mammalian cells and activation of immunity in invertebrates as mentioned in this paper .

Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase is a Cytosolic DNA Sensor that Activates the Type-I Interferon Pathway

TL;DR: Results indicate that cGAS is a cytosolic DNA sensor that induces interferons by producing the second messenger cGAMP, which belongs to the nucleotidyltransferase family.

Autophagy in immunity and inflammation

TL;DR: A crucial role is revealed for the autophagy pathway and proteins in immunity and inflammation, and they balance the beneficial and detrimental effects of immunity andinflammation, and thereby may protect against infectious, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Functional role of type I and type II interferons in antiviral defense.

TL;DR: Comparison of mice lacking either type I or type II IFN receptors showed that, at least in response to some viruses, both IFN systems are essential for antiviral defense and are functionally nonredundant.

STING is an endoplasmic reticulum adaptor that facilitates innate immune signalling.

TL;DR: The identification of a molecule (STING; stimulator of interferon genes) that appears essential for effective innate immune signalling processes is reported, implying a potential role for the translocon in innate signalling pathways activated by select viruses as well as intracellular DNA.

STING regulates intracellular DNA-mediated, type I interferon-dependent innate immunity

TL;DR: It is shown that STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is critical for the induction of IFN by non-CpG intracellular DNA species produced by various DNA pathogens after infection.
