PRMT1 mediated methylation of cGAS suppresses anti-tumor immunity
Activation of the cGAS/STING innate immunity pathway is essential and effective for anti-tumor immunotherapy. However, it remains largely elusive how tumor-intrinsic cGAS signaling is suppressed to facilitate tumorigenesis by escaping immune surveillance.

How the Innate Immune DNA Sensing cGAS-STING Pathway Is Involved in Apoptosis
The cGAS–STING signaling axis can be activated by cytosolic DNA, including both non-self DNA and self DNA. This axis is used by the innate immune system to monitor invading pathogens and/or damage.

Significance of the cGAS-STING Pathway in Health and Disease
The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway plays a significant role in health and disease. In this pathway, cGAS, one of the major cytosolic DNA sensors in mammalian cells, regulates innate immunity and the STING ...

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) plays a key role in the innate immune responses to both DNA and RNA virus infection. Here, we found that enterovirus 71 (EV-A71), Seneca Valley virus (SVV), and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection triggered ...

Length does matter for
Recognition of foreign nucleic acids by the immune system is essential to host protection against many viral and bacterial infections. It relies on the capacity of innate immune sensors to selectively distinguish self‐ and non‐self‐nucleic acids, on the basis of a variety of parameters including base modifications, sequence composition, length or ...

Pharmacological Activation of cGAS for Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
When compartmentally mislocalized within cells, nucleic acids can be exceptionally immunostimulatory and can even trigger the immune-mediated elimination of cancer. Specifically, the accumulation of double-stranded DNA in the cytosol can efficiently promote antitumor immunity by activating the cGAMP synthase (cGAS) / stimulator of interferon genes ...

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 ...
