Evolutionary Origins of cGAS-STING Signaling

TLDR
The evolutionary origins of the cGAS-STING pathway are discussed, and the possibility that the ancestral functions of STING may have included activation of antibacterial immunity is considered.

cGAS in action: Expanding roles in immunity and inflammation

TL;DR: The latest advances uncovering how cGAS and STING control inflammatory responses and are themselves regulated are reviewed, suggesting a major clinical impact in areas of cancer immunotherapy and vaccine development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cGAS-STING pathway as a therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: The cGAS-STING pathway has emerged as a key mediator of inflammation in the settings of infection, cellular stress and tissue damage as discussed by the authors, which has enabled the development of selective small-molecule inhibitors with the potential to target the CGS-STing axis in a number of inflammatory diseases.

The DNA Inflammasome in Human Myeloid Cells Is Initiated by a STING-Cell Death Program Upstream of NLRP3

TL;DR: It is shown that AIM2 is dispensable for DNA-mediated inflammasome activation in human myeloid cells, and targeting the cGAS-STING-LCD-NLRP3 pathway will ameliorate pathology in inflammatory conditions that are associated with cytosolic DNA sensing.

Cyclic GMP-AMP signalling protects bacteria against viral infection.

TL;DR: cGAMP signalling in bacteria mediates anti-phage defence, as part of a genetic system suggested to be the ancient ancestor of the animal cGAS–STING innate immune pathway.

Identification of a second group of type I IFNs in fish sheds light on IFN evolution in vertebrates.

TL;DR: The data overall support the concept that different vertebrate groups have independently expanded their IFN types, with deletion of different pairs of cysteines apparent in fish group I IFN and IFN-βε of mammals.

Unique role for ATG5 in neutrophil-mediated immunopathology during M. tuberculosis infection

TL;DR: It is shown that, contrary to expectation, autophagic capacity does not correlate with the outcome of M. tuberculosis infection in vivo, and ATG5 plays a unique role in protection against M.culosis by preventing PMN-mediated immunopathology.

MPYS Is Required for IFN Response Factor 3 Activation and Type I IFN Production in the Response of Cultured Phagocytes to Bacterial Second Messengers Cyclic-di-AMP and Cyclic-di-GMP

TL;DR: It is shown that bifurcating MPYS-dependent and -independent pathways mediate sensing of cytosolic bacterial infections, and that type I IFN production by cultured macrophages infected with the intracellular pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Francisella tularensis is required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of STING bound to cyclic di-GMP reveals the mechanism of cyclic dinucleotide recognition by the immune system.

TL;DR: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is an innate immune sensor of cyclic dinucleotides that regulates the induction of type I interferons.
