Abstract

Innate immune activation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). The cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, involving cGAMP synthase (cGAS) and Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING), has emerged as a key mediator of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the precise mechanisms through which cGAS activation influences AD progression remain poorly understood. In this study, we observed significant up‐regulation of cGAS‐STING signaling pathway in AD. Notably, this increase is primarily attributed to microglia, rather than non‐microglial cell types. Using an inducible, microglia‐specific cGAS knockout mouse model in the 5xFAD background, we demonstrated that deleting microglial cGAS at the onset of amyloid‐β (Aβ) pathology profoundly restricts plaque accumulation and protects mice from Aβ‐induced cognitive impairment. Mechanistically, our study revealed cGAS promotes plaque‐associated microglia accumulation and is essential for inflammasome activation. Moreover, we showed that restricting cGAS‐mediated innate immunity is crucial for preserving inter‐cellular communication in the brain and induces pleiotrophin, a neuroprotective factor. These findings offer novel insights into the specific roles of the innate immune system in AD employing a cell‐type‐specific approach. The conclusions provide a foundation for targeted interventions to modulate the microglial cGAS‐STING signaling pathway, offering promising therapeutic strategy for AD treatment.

  • STING interacts with cGAS and plays a significant role in Alzheimer's disease by promoting microglial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.

    “The STING interacts with cGAS and plays a significant role in Alzheimer's disease by promoting microglial dysfunction and neuroinflammation [66, 67].”

    From Targeting Microglial Transcriptional Reprogramming as a Therapy Strategy for Alzheimer's Disease (2026) · cites this paper as [66]

    The Introduction describes cGAS activating STING through cGAMP, and the Discussion reports that microglial cGAS deletion alleviated neuroinflammation in an Alzheimer’s mouse model. This supports a role for the cGAS–STING pathway, but the study does not establish that STING itself promotes microglial dysfunction or that STING directly interacts with cGAS. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
