The presence of cytosolic double-stranded DNA molecules can trigger multiple
innate immune signalling pathways which converge on the activation of an
ER-resident innate immune adaptor named "STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING)".
STING has been found to mediate type I interferon response downstream of cyclic
dinucleotides and a number of DNA and RNA inducing signalling pathway. In
addition to its physiological function, a rapidly increasing body of literature
highlights the role for STING in human disease where variants of the STING
proteins, as well as dysregulated STING signalling, have been implicated in a
number of inflammatory diseases. This review will summarise the recent structural
and functional findings of STING, and discuss how STING research has promoted the
development of novel therapeutic approaches and experimental tools to improve
treatment of tumour and autoimmune diseases.
