Blocking cGAS/STING signaling protects against sepsis-associated acute liver injury.

TL;DR: In this article , the role of cyclic GMPAMP synthase (cGAS) in the development of acute liver injury (ALI) was investigated, and if any, by which mechanism cGAS is involved.

Identification of Ziyuglycoside II from a Natural Products Library as a STING Agonist

TL;DR: A small‐molecular STING agonist, Ziyuglycoside II, termed ST12, with potent stimulation of the IRF/IFN and NF‐κB pathways is identified and its binding to the C‐terminal domain of human STING, detected by bio‐layer interferometry, indicates that ST12 is a human STing agonist.

Inhibition of cGAS ameliorates acute lung injury triggered by zinc oxide nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this article , the role and mechanism of the cGAS-STING pathway in ALI-induced by ZnONPs are investigated, and the authors demonstrated that ZnonPs trigger the activation of the CGMP-AMP synthase and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
