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.

Atg9a controls dsDNA-driven dynamic translocation of STING and the innate immune response

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dynamic membrane traffic mediates the sequential translocation and assembly of STING, both of which are essential processes required for maximal activation of the innate immune response triggered by dsDNA.

Extracellular M. tuberculosis DNA Targets Bacteria for Autophagy by Activating the Host DNA-Sensing Pathway

TL;DR: It is shown that phagosomal permeabilization mediated by the bacterial ESX-1 secretion system allows cytosolic components of the ubiquitin-mediated autophagy pathway access to Phagosomal M. tuberculosis infection and indicates a major role for this autophagic pathway in resistance to M.culosis.

Establishment of dorsal-ventral polarity in the Drosophila embryo: the induction of polarity by the Toll gene product.

TL;DR: Experiments suggest that the activity of the Toll product is normally regulated by other dorsal-group genes and that the function of the toll product is to provide the source for a morphogen gradient in the dorsal-ventral axis of the wild-type embryo.

The Innate Immune DNA Sensor cGAS Produces a Noncanonical Cyclic Dinucleotide that Activates Human STING

TL;DR: Natural variants of human STING (hSTING) are identified that are poorly responsive to cGAMP yet, unexpectedly, are normally responsive to DNA and cGAS signaling, which indicates that hSTING variants have evolved to distinguish conventional (3'-5') cyclic dinucleotides from the noncanonical cyclic Dinucleotide produced by mammalian cGAS.
