Opportunities and challenges of targeting cGAS–STING in cancer - Nature Reviews Cancer In this Review, Lu et al. discuss the dual role of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)–stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway in cancer, emphasizing its involvement in both tumour suppression and promotion. They highlight the diverse sources of pathway activation and suggest that this functional duality may underlie the limited clinical success of cGAS–STING targeting in cancer therapy.

Weekend reading 🚨
A comprehensive #Review on the dual role of the #cGAS#STING pathway in cancer, emphasizing its involvement in both tumour suppression and promotion, which might underlie the limited clinical success of cGAS–STING targeting in cancer therapy.

#LiveForever! Chen, Mao &co show @science.org that not all #cGAS are equals & that naked mole-rats one bears a 4 amino acid mutation which enhances DNA repair & when transferred in aged mice dampens frailty, hair graying, inflammatory & senescence markers! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to share our latest work out in @pnas.org! We show that the #SARSCoV2 nucleocapsid protein directly prevents DNA recognition of the immune sensor #cGAS by competing for DNA, which may delay early innate immune responses during infection. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10.... #innateimmunity

Systemic Inactivation of TREX1 Induces Selective Inflammation of the Tumor Microenvironment and Invigorated T Cell-Mediated Tumor Control Abstract. Therapeutic innate immune stimulation within the tumor microenvironment can potentiate endogenous antitumor T cell immunity. Strategies for controlled activation of cGAS/STING signaling are ...

Together with the Roers Lab from @uniheidelberg.bsky.social and @bms-us.bsky.social we propose that controlled low level systemic activation of #cGAS by endogenous nucleic acids is a safe and effective way to boost #cancer #immunotherapy.

Chromosome mis-segregation triggers cell cycle arrest through a mechanosensitive nuclear envelope checkpoint - Nature Cell Biology Hervé, Scelfo et al. show that chromosome mis-segregation induces mTORC2- and ATR-mediated p53 activation through a mechanosensitive checkpoint at the nuclear envelope triggered by altered heterochrom...

Showcasing this exciting paper from our good friends Fachinetti lab @institutcurie.bsky.social. #Centromere inactivation triggers #senescence: mis-segregated chromosomes deform the nuclear envelope and activate TORC2-ATR. We helped with #cGAS and some key suggestions.

Antigen-presenting cell activation requires intrinsic and extrinsic STING signaling after the phagocytosis of DNA-damaged cells Both cytosolic DNA species and innate immune STING signaling are required for stressed cells to activate phagocytes.

This week in #Science #Immunology: Glen Barber & colleagues report that #cGas#STING signaling in phagocytosed DNA-damaged cells facilitates #APC activation via formation of STING-inducible endosomal vesicles (SIEVES) containing immune-activating proteins and cytosolic DNA!

Tell your friend that the drones can be spotted On the Lower Cape, over Nantucket Sound, in Harwich, Harwichport, Chatham. Also spotted hovering over Upper Cape: Barnstable & Osterville, near #Otis / #CGAS #CapeCod. Also on Outer Cape: Wamsutta Road, Eastham.

Good luck!
