Abstract
Numerous liver diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, have been increasingly prevalent, posing significant threats to global health. In recent decades, there has been increasing evidence linking the dysregulation of cyclic-GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon gene (STING)-related immune signaling to liver disorders. Both hyperactivation and deletion of STING can disrupt the immune microenvironment dysfunction, exacerbating liver disorders. Consequently, there has been a surge in research investigating medical agents or mediators targeting cGAS-STING signaling. Interestingly, therapeutic manipulation of the cGAS-STING pathway has yielded inconsistent and even contradictory effects on different liver diseases due to the distinct physiological characteristics of intrahepatic cells that express and respond to STING. In this review, we comprehensively summarize recent advancements in understanding the dual roles of the STING pathway, highlighting that the benefits of targeting STING signaling depend on the specific types of target cells and stages of liver injury. Additionally, we offer a novel perspective on the suitability of STING agonists and antagonists for clinical assessment. In conclusion, STING signaling remains a highly promising therapeutic target, and the development of STING pathway modulators holds great potential for the treatment of liver diseases.

Abstract
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) is a very rare autoinflammatory disease related to STING1 mutation. SAVI is mainly characterized by fever attacks and skin and respiratory manifestations such as interstitial lung disease or alveolar hemorrhage. Respiratory involvement occurs in 80% of cases and might progress to severe lung fibrosis and require lung transplantation (LT). Three patients with SAVI who underwent LT have been reported to date. Two of the three patients died months or years after LT due to multiple organ failure or sepsis. However, the diagnosis of SAVI was made after LT, thus preventing the use of targeted therapy, such as the Janus kinase 1 and 2 inhibitor (JAK1/2i) ruxolitinib, which might be beneficial for the respiratory status of these patients. We aimed to report our experience in managing three patients who were followed in three large lung transplantation centers in France and who benefited from ruxolitinib before undergoing LT. We describe posttransplant complications that occurred as well as outcomes.

Abstract
Transplantation is an important life-saving therapeutic choice for patients with organ or tissue failure once all other treatment options are exhausted. However, most allografts become damaged over an extended period, and post-transplantation survival is limited. Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) tends to be associated with a poor prognosis; resultant severe primary graft dysfunction is the main cause of transplant failure. Targeting the cGAS-STING pathway has recently been shown to be an effective approach for improving transplantation outcomes, when activated or inhibited cGAS-STING pathway, IRI can be alleviated by regulating inflammatory response and programmed cell death. Thus, continuing efforts to develop selective agonists and antagonists may bring great hopes to post-transplant patient. In this mini-review, we reviewed the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in transplantation, and summarized the crosstalk between this pathway and inflammatory response and programmed cell death during IRI, aiming to provide novel insights into the development of therapies to improve patient outcome after transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stimulator of interferon gene (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), caused by gain-of-function mutations in human transmembrane protein 173 (TMEM173), is characterized by widespread chronic inflammation primarily affecting the skin and lungs. Although SAVI is an inflammatory disease, typical anti-inflammatory agents have limited or no effect. METHODS AND RESULTS A 1-year-old boy presented with recurrent facial rashes since he was 8 months. Moreover, he suffered from recurrent oral ulcers, chronic cough, and failure to thrive. Laboratory parameters showed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and immunoglobulin levels. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) showed interstitial lung disease (ILD). Whole-exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous mutation in the TMEM173 gene (c.463G > A, p.V155M). Ultimately, the patient was diagnosed with SAVI. Tofacitinib was initiated at the age of 19 months, resulting in the alleviation of facial rashes and improvement of ILD within 3 months. CONCLUSION SAVI is a difficult-to-treat type I interferonopathy. We hope that JAKi treatment will prove valuable for SAVI patients.

Abstract
Dry eye is one of the most common ocular surface diseases in the world and seriously affects the quality of life of patients. As an immune-related disease, the mechanism of dry eye has still not been fully elucidated. The cGAS-STING pathway is a recently discovered pathway that plays an important role in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by recognizing dsDNA. As an important signal to initiate inflammation, the release of dsDNA is associated with dry eye. Herein, we focused on the pathophysiology of the immune-inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of dry eye, attempted to gain insight into the involvement of dsDNA in the dry eye immune response, and investigated the mechanism of the cGAS-STING pathway involved in the immune-inflammatory response. We further proposed that the cGAS-STING pathway may participate in dry eye as a new mechanism linking dry eye and the immune-inflammatory response, thus providing a new direction for the mechanistic exploration of dry eye.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Autoinflammatory type I interferonopathies, chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature/proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndrome (CANDLE/PRAAS), stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), and Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) are rare and clinically complex immunodysregulatory diseases. With emerging knowledge of genetic causes and targeted treatments, a Task Force was charged with the development of "points to consider" to improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring of patients with these rare diseases. METHODS Members of a Task Force consisting of rheumatologists, neurologists, an immunologist, geneticists, patient advocates, and an allied health care professional formulated research questions for a systematic literature review. Then, based on literature, Delphi questionnaires, and consensus methodology, "points to consider" to guide patient management were developed. RESULTS The Task Force devised consensus and evidence-based guidance of 4 overarching principles and 17 points to consider regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring of patients with the autoinflammatory interferonopathies, CANDLE/PRAAS, SAVI, and AGS. CONCLUSION These points to consider represent state-of-the-art knowledge to guide diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and management of patients with CANDLE/PRAAS, SAVI, and AGS and aim to standardize and improve care, quality of life, and disease outcomes.

Allograft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation for COPA Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review. Mod Rheumatol Case Rep 2022; 6:314-318. [PMID: 35079820 DOI: 10.1093/mrcr/rxac004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022]
Abstract
COPA syndrome is an autoinflammatory disease with autoimmune and autoinflammatory manifestations affecting lungs, joints, and kidneys. COPA syndrome is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the coatmer subunit alpha (COPA) gene, encoding α subunit of coatmer protein complex I (COP-I) coated vesicles. Mutant COPA induces constitutive activation of stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING), leading to systemic inflammation and elevated type I interferon response. We have previously reported a Japanese family of COPA syndrome with a novel V242G mutation. Two out of 4 patients required lung transplantation due to intractable interstitial lung disease (ILD) and respiratory failure. Both of them deceased after lung transplantation, one due to sepsis and the other due to allograft dysfunction possibly caused by the reccurent ILD. The literature review indentified unfavorable outcome of the solid organ transplant in COPA syndrome and its related disease, however, precise clinico-pathological description of these cases has been scarce. Here, we report in detail the clinical course of our cases to clarify the pathophysiology of allograft dysfunction in COPA syndrome and propose potential therapeutic approaches to improve post-transplant graft survival.

[PMID: 34381984 PMCID: PMC8340306 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhepr.2021.100324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The recently identified novel cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) activates the downstream adaptor protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING) by catalysing the synthesis of cyclic GMP-AMP. This in turn initiates an innate immune response through the release of various cytokines, including type I interferon. Foreign DNA (microbial infection) or endogenous DNA (nuclear or mitochondrial leakage) can serve as cGAS ligands and lead to the activation of cGAS-STING signalling. Therefore, the cGAS-STING pathway plays essential roles in infectious diseases, sterile inflammation, tumours, and autoimmune diseases. In addition, cGAS-STING signalling affects the progression of liver inflammation through other mechanisms, such as autophagy and metabolism. In this review, we summarise recent advances in our understanding of the role of cGAS-STING signalling in the innate immune modulation of different liver diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting the cGAS-STING pathway in the treatment of liver diseases.
