Abstract:
Sepsis is a severe systemic inflammatory response commonly occurring in infectious diseases, caused by infection with virulent pathogens. In the pathogenesis of sepsis, the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway serves a crucial role as a fundamental immunoregulatory mechanism. This signaling pathway activates STING upon recognizing intracellular DNA damage and pathogen-derived DNA, subsequently inducing the production of numerous inflammatory mediators, including interferon and inflammatory cytokines, which in turn trigger an inflammatory response. The aim of this paper is to explore the activation mechanism of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in sepsis and its impact on inflammatory regulation. By delving into the mechanism of action of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in sepsis, we aim to identify new therapeutic strategies for the treatment and prevention of sepsis.
