Involvement of GATA1 and Sp3 in the activation of the murine STING gene promoter in NIH3T3 cells

Abstract Stimulator of Interferon Gene (STING) is a key mediator of innate immune signaling. STING plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of many diseases including infectious diseases, auto-immune diseases and cancer. Many studies have been carried out recently in the field of STING-regulated pat...
