STING pathway agonism as a cancer therapeutic. | LitMetric

The fact that a subset of human cancers showed evidence for a spontaneous adaptive immune response as reflected by the T cell-inflamed tumor microenvironment phenotype led to the search for candidate innate immune pathways that might be driving such endogenous responses. Preclinical studies indicated a major role for the host STING pathway, a cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, as a proximal event required for optimal type I interferon production, dendritic cell activation, and priming of CD8 T cells against tumor-associated antigens. STING agonists are therefore being developed as a novel cancer therapeutic, and a greater understanding of STING pathway regulation is leading to a broadened list of candidate immune regulatory targets. Early phase clinical trials of intratumoral STING agonists are already showing promise, alone and in combination with checkpoint blockade. Further advancement will derive from a deeper understanding of STING pathway biology as well as mechanisms of response vs resistance in individual cancer patients.

Environmental low-dose nanosized carbon black exposure aggravates lung fibrosis-induced by radiation in vivo and in vitro.

Sci Total Environ

March 2025

Department of Occupational and Environmental Health, Xiangya School of Public Health, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan Province 410078, China. Electronic address:

The question of whether the emerging nano-material, nanosized carbon black (CB) could influence the lung damage-induced by radiation exposure in cancer patients or in acute nuclear accident population remains incompletely uncovered. Therefore, our study investigated potential health risk from environmental low-dose CB exposure level (0.1 mg/kg/d, once per three days, for 12 weeks) via nasal instillation using a lung fibrosis mouse model induced by radiation.

Background: The emergence of immunotherapy has revolutionized the paradigm of cancer treatment with immune checkpoint blockades (ICB) in solid cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, only a small subset of CRC patients harboring deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) benefits from ICB therapy. A very limited response to ICB therapy has been achieved in MMR-proficient CRC, representing a significant challenge limiting the clinical application of immunotherapy.

Cancer immunotherapy has become a revolutionary strategy in oncology, utilizing the host immune system to fight malignancies. Notwithstanding major progress, obstacles such as immune evasion by tumors and the development of resistance still remain. This manuscript examines the function of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in cancer biology, focusing on its effects on tumor immunotherapy response and resistance.

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality among women, and immunotherapy targeting the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway holds promise for its treatment. This study has developed nanoparticles based on fucoidan (Fu/CA NPs), successfully loading them with caffeic acid (CA) for application in cervical cancer therapy. In vitro experiments revealed that Fu/CA NPs significantly inhibited the proliferation of cervical cancer HeLa cells (by 65.
