Article Abstract
The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is a critical component of the innate immune response, playing a significant role in various diseases. As a central element of this pathway, STING responds to both endogenous and exogenous DNA stimuli, triggering the production of interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines to enhance immune defenses against tumors and pathogens. However, dysregulated activation of the STING pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases, including autoinflammation, viral infections, and cancer. Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs), which have a long history of use, have been associated with positive effects in disease prevention and treatment. TCM formulations (e.g., Lingguizhugan Decoction, Yi-Shen-Xie-Zhuo formula) and active compounds (e.g., Glabridin, Ginsenoside Rd) can modulate the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, thereby influencing the progression of inflammatory, infectious, or oncological diseases. This review explores the mechanisms by which TCMs interact with the cGAS-STING pathway to regulate immunity, focusing on their roles in infectious diseases, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders.

Microglial activation-induced neuroinflammation and impaired neuronal mitophagy are recognized as pivotal pathogeneses in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the role of microglial mitophagy in microglial activation during PD development remains unclear, and therapeutic interventions targeting this interaction are lacking. Rhapontigenin (Rhap), a stilbenoid enriched in Vitis vinifera, exhibits dual anti-neuroinflammatory and mitophagy-enhancing properties, but its therapeutic potential and mechanisms in PD are unexplored.

Nanoparticles bind to proteins in cells selectively and form a protein corona around them. However, the mechanisms of protein conformational changes underlying the interactions between nanoparticles and protein coronas remain poorly understood. In this study, we prepared small molecule self-assembled nanoparticles (Aloin NPs) as a research tool to investigate the allosteric mechanism of protein coronas.

Duck plague virus (DPV), an alphaherpesvirus causing severe economic losses in global waterfowl industries, adopts sophisticated strategies to subvert host antiviral immunity. Here, we identify DPV ICP27 as a pivotal immune evasion protein that concurrently inhibits both DNA (cGAS-STING) and RNA (RIG-I/MDA5-MAVS) innate immune sensing pathways-a novel function unreported in avian herpesviruses. Through co-transfection and infection assays in duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs), we demonstrate that ICP27 suppresses key immune sensors' transcriptional and protein expression levels (STING, RIG-I) and the transcription factor IRF7.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 (eIF4A3)-mediated RNA metabolism is essential for cellular homeostasis and viral replication. However, its role in regulating antiviral innate immunity during pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that eIF4A3 protein expression was significantly downregulated both in vitro and in vivo during PRV infection.

Tumor metabolic reprogramming has been recognized as a critical determinant in tumor development and cancer immunotherapy response. Aberrant choline metabolism is emerging as a defining hallmark of cancer. Here, we found that carbohydrate responsive element binding protein (ChREBP)-mediated choline deprivation induced tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) reprogramming and maintained an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).
