cGAS–STING cytosolic DNA sensing pathway is suppressed by JAK2-STAT3 in tumor cells

Abstract Deficiencies in DNA repair and DNA degrading nucleases lead to accumulation of cytosolic DNA. cGAS is a critical DNA sensor for the detection of cytosolic DNA and subsequent activation of the STING signaling pathway. Here, we show that the cGAS-STING pathway was unresponsive to STING agonis...
