Modernity and heritage:a dual perspective on STING agonists
The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes(STING)signaling pathway is a pivotal regulator within the immune system and holds significant potential for research and application in cancer immunotherapy.Upon activation of the STING protein by this pathway,it promotes the production of Type I interferons,which subsequently affects the maturation of dendritic cells and enhances the cytotoxic capabilities of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells,thereby bridging innate and adaptive immune responses.This review focuses on the regulatory effects of chemical STING agonists and the modulation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway by components derived from traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).These studies not only elucidate the molecular mechanisms of STING agonists but also provide a theoretical foundation for the development of novel immunomodulatory agents.Furthermore,this review discusses the potential integration of TCM components with modern drug design,offering new perspectives and strategies for future research in immunotherapy.
