Benzothiazole-urea hybrid 8l was found to be a potent anti-bacterial agent against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA2858) (MIC = 0.78 μM, Eur J Med Chem. 2022,236:114333). Herein, 8l was further evaluated to remedy the MRSA-infected scald with bacterial infection and severe inflammation. In scalded skin model with MRSA infection, 8l not only effectively reduced bacterial load, but also decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion and promoted collagen deposition to effectively reverse the progression of wound infection and inflammation by blocking cGAS/STING/NF-κB/IRF3 signaling pathway. In vitro model of RAW264.7 cells verified that 8l can inhibit MRSA-induced inflammation via regulating this pathway. All in all, dual anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent 8l could heal MRSA-infected refractory scald by regulating cGAS/STING/NF-κB/IRF3 pathway.

Objective: Cell dysfunction and death induced by lung ischaemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) are the main causes of death in transplant patients. Activation of the cGAS-STING-induced immune response and death plays a critical role in multiple organ injuries. However, no study has yet investigated the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in LIRI after lung transplantation.

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction and damage can result in the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm, which subsequently activates the cGAS-STING pathway, promoting the onset of inflammatory diseases. Various factors, such as oxidative stress, viral infection, and drug toxicity, have been identified as inducers of mitochondrial damage. This study aims to investigate the role of mtDNA as a critical inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of ketamine (KET)-induced cystitis (KC) through the cGAS-STING pathway.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis relies on the presence of extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) and intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau). Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between AD pathologies and infectious agents, with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) being a leading candidate. Our investigation, using metagenomics, mass spectrometry, western blotting, and decrowding expansion pathology, detects HSV-1-associated proteins in human brain samples.

Objectives: To explore the role of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in the therapeutic mechanism of Formula (LXJDHYF) for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in mice.
Methods: Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, low- and high-dose LXJDHYF groups, and H151 (a specific cGAS-STING pathway inhibitor) group (6). In all but the control group, the mice were treated with CCl to induce liver cirrhosis followed by intraperitoneal injections of lipopolysaccharide and D-amino galactose to establish mouse models of ACLF.
RNA-binding proteins hnRNPM and ELAVL1 promote type-I interferon induction downstream of the nucleic acid sensors cGAS and RIG-I.

The cytosolic nucleic acid sensors RIG-I and cGAS induce type-I interferon (IFN)-mediated immune responses to RNA and DNA viruses, respectively. So far no connection between the two cytosolic pathways upstream of IKK-like kinase activation has been investigated. Here, we identify heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M (hnRNPM) as a positive regulator of IRF3 phosphorylation and type-I IFN induction downstream of both cGAS and RIG-I.
