IntroductionType I interferon (IFN) plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Cyclic GMP AMP synthase (cGAS) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that recognizes dsDNA and creates cGAMP to activate STING-mediated type I IFN production.

Inhibitory targeting cGAS-STING-TBK1 axis: Emerging strategies for autoimmune diseases therapy
The cGAS-STING signaling plays an integral role in the host immune response, and the abnormal activation of cGAS-STING is highly related to various autoimmune diseases.

TREX1 dictates the immune fate of irradiated cancer cells
The optimal radiation dose and fractionation to induce anti-tumor immunity remain elusive. We recently found that the exonuclease TREX1 abrogates the immunogenicity of irradiated cancer cells by degrading interferon-stimulatory cytosolic dsDNA.

Trial watch: STING agonists in cancer therapy
Stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1 (STING1, best known as STING) is an endoplasmic reticulum-sessile protein that serves as a signaling hub, receiving input from several pattern recognition receptors, most of which sense ectopic DNA ...

The immunologically “cold” microenvironment of triple negative breast cancer results in resistance to current immunotherapy. Here, we reveal the immunoadjuvant property of gas therapy with cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS ...

cGAS-STING signalings potentiate tumor progression via sustaining cancer stemness
The cytosolic DNA-sensing cGAS-STING pathway has been proved to be involved in tumor progression and influence the effect of cancer immunotherapy. However, little attentions have been paid to the role of cGAS-STING pathway on cancer stemness.

Roles of Emerging RNA-Binding Activity of cGAS in Innate Antiviral Response
cGAS, a DNA sensor in mammalian cells, catalyzes the generation of 2’-3’-cyclic AMP-GMP (cGAMP) once activated by the binding of free DNA. cGAMP can bind to STING, activating downstream TBK1-IRF-3 signaling to initiate the expression of type I ...

Nonspecific DNA Binding of cGAS N Terminus Promotes cGAS Activation [PDF]
Abstract The cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) mediates innate immune responses against invading pathogens, or against self-dsDNA, which causes autoimmune disorders. Upon nonspecific binding of cytosolic B–form DNA, cGAS synthesizes the second messenger 2′3′-cGAMP and triggers STING-dependent signaling to produce type I

Duck cGAS inhibits DNA and RNA virus replication by activating IFNs and antiviral ISGs
Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS) is a pivotal adaptor of the signaling pathways involving the pattern recognition receptors and plays an important role in apoptosis and immune regulation.

The cGAS–STING pathway drives type I IFN immunopathology in COVID-19
COVID-19, which is caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2, is characterized by lung pathology and extrapulmonary complications1,2. Type I interferons (IFNs) have an essential role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 (refs 3–5).
