cGAS-STING pathway activation has attracted considerable attention in antitumor immunotherapy, but clinical outcomes lag behind expectations due to overlooked negative feedback mechanisms. Here, we determine that STING activation promotes tumor stemness, which weakens the efficacy of STING-based therapies, presenting a double-edged sword. To address this therapeutic paradox, a simple metal-phenolic polymeric micelle (HMQ) was developed, in which Mn (a STING agonist) is coordinated with quercetin (a stemness inhibitor) and hyaluronic acid (HA), to unlock the full therapeutic potential of the cGAS-STING pathway.

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway, an essential element in the innate antiviral immune responses, has emerged as a key component of innate immune system to modulate type I IFNs production and response by recognizing both exogenous and endogenous DNA. Although some cGAS-STING signaling small molecule agonists have been developed, there are few natural polysaccharides reported to activate cGAS-STING signaling for the treatment of infectious diseases. Here, we reported that Laminaran, a low molecular weight β-glucan storage polysaccharide present in brown algae, potentiates cGAS-STING signaling to promote type I IFNs production and antiviral response.

Electronic address:

Most subunit antigens often induce suboptimal vaccination efficacy, possibly due to their low immunogenicity and limited ability to migrate to lymph nodes (LNs). Although the emergence of nanovaccine has significantly addressed these challenges, most formulations still require specific biological or chemical modifications to the carrier or antigen for efficient antigen loading. In this study, we report a Pickering emulsion-based nanovaccine that directly utilized antigens and adjuvants as stabilizers, effectively amplifying immune responses without additional physicochemical alterations.
