Abstract

cGAS is a sensor of cytosolic DNA and responds equally to exogenous and endogenous DNA. After recognition of cytosolic dsDNA or ssDNA, cGAS synthesizes the second messenger 2'3'-cGAMP, which then binds to and activates stimulator of interferon genes (STING). STING plays an essential role in responding to pathogenic DNA and self-DNA in the context of autoimmunity. In pathologic conditions, such as stroke or hypoxia-ischemia (HI), DNA can gain access into the cytoplasm of the cell and leak from the dying cells into the extracellular environment, which potentially activates cGAS/STING. Recent in vivo studies of myocardial ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and liver damage models suggest that activation of cGAS/STING is not only a side-effect of the injury, but it can also actively contribute to cell death and apoptosis. We found, for the first time, that cGAS/STING pathway becomes activated between 24 and 48 h after HI in a 10-day-old rat model. Silencing STING with siRNA resulted in decreased infarction area, reduced cortical neurodegeneration, and improved neurobehavior at 48 h, suggesting that STING can contribute to injury progression after HI. STING colocalized with lysosomal marker LAMP-1 and blocking STING reduced the expression of cathepsin B and decreased the expression of Bax and caspase 3 cleavage. We observed similar protective effects after intranasal treatment with cGAS inhibitor RU.521, which were reversed by administration of STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP. Additionally, we showed that long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposon, a potential upstream activator of cGAS/STING pathway was induced at 48 h after HI, which was evidenced by increased expression of ORF1p and ORF2p proteins and increased LINE-1 DNA content in the cytosol. Blocking LINE-1 with the nucleoside analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) stavudine reduced infarction area, neuronal degeneration in the cerebral cortex, and reduced the expression of Bax and cleaved caspase 3. Thus, our results identify the cGAS/STING pathway as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit delayed neuronal death after HI.

Retrotransposon-derived eccDNA and dsRNA can initiate an antiviral response through detection by cGAS-STING, Toll-like receptors, RIG-I, and MDA5, resulting in production of type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokines.
“Retrotransposon-derived eccDNA ( Figure 2a ) and dsRNA ( Figure 2b ) can initiate an antiviral response through their detection by the cytosolic DNA–sensing pathway mediated by cGAS-STING and nucleic acid–sensing Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as well as viral RNA sensors such as retinoic acid–inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5, a RIG-I-like receptor),”
From The Role of Retrotransposons and Endogenous Retroviruses in Age-Dependent Neurodegenerative Disorders (2024) · cites this paper as Gamdzyk et al. 2020
The Introduction (page unavailable) says LINE-1-derived cytoplasmic DNA can activate cGAS–STING and that STING activation leads to inflammatory cytokine production. It does not identify that DNA as eccDNA or address retrotransposon-derived dsRNA sensing by TLRs, RIG-I, or MDA5. Type I interferon production is not established by the cited passages beyond the titles in its references. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
