Research progress of cGAS-STING signaling pathway modulators in immunotherapy
Upon monitoring cytoplasmic aberrant double-stranded DNA,cGAS-STING signaling pathway induces the expression of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines,which activates the host immune response and enhances anti-tumor immune response and resistance to pathogen infection.However,sustained activation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway drives diseases such as autoimmune diseases,aging-associated inflammation,and neurodegenerative pathologies.Herein,we describe the mechanism by which cGAS-STING signaling pathway participates in regulating the development of various immune-related diseases,with a particular review of the research and development progress of STING agonists,cGAS inhibitors,and STING inhibitors,aiming to provide some theoretical reference for the future development of cGAS-STING modulators.
