STING and the innate immune response to nucleic acids in the cytosol

Burdette, Dara L, Vance, Russell E·2013·Nature Immunology

Abstract

Cytosolic detection of pathogen-derived nucleic acids is critical for the initiation of innate immune defense against diverse bacterial, viral and eukaryotic pathogens. Conversely, inappropriate responses to cytosolic nucleic acids can produce severe autoimmune pathology. The host protein STING has been identified as a central signaling molecule in the innate immune response to cytosolic nucleic acids. STING seems to be especially critical for responses to cytosolic DNA and the unique bacterial nucleic acids called 'cyclic dinucleotides'. Here we discuss advances in the understanding of STING and highlight the many unresolved issues in the field.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Natural and artificially synthetic cyclic dinucleotides have been developed as STING agonists for cancer immunotherapy.

    “Sharing similar structures and biological characteristics with cGAMP, some natural and artificially synthetic cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are developed as STING agonists for cancer immunotherapy [265–267].”

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.
