Disarming cGAS-STING hyperactivation in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases: Pathogenic mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies.

Aberrant activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway has been increasingly recognized as a key driver of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In recent years, accumulating evidence has highlighted the close association between cGAS-STING signaling and the pathogenesi...

The bidirectional immunoregulatory effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and their translational prospects

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase–stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway is a central component of innate immunity, mediating host defense against pathogens, antitumor responses, and inflammation. Aberrant activation of this pathway is implicated in a spectrum of diseases, including autoimmune disorders, chronic...

The Double-Edged Sentinel: cGAS-STING as a Context-Dependent Regulator of Microglial Senescence and Neuronal Genotoxic Stress in Neurodegeneration.

BACKGROUND Neurodegenerative diseases may continue to progress even when a pathogenic protein aggregate is reduced, suggesting that downstream inflammatory and genotoxic circuits can become partly autonomous. This narrative review examines cGAS-STING as a context-dependent regulator of DNA-stress responses in the agein...
