IRF3 activates RB to authorize cGAS-STING-induced senescence and mitigate liver fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Cytosolic dsDNA surveillance by cGAS-STING signaling triggers autophagy, biased mRNA translation, cellular senescence, and interferon-mediated immune responses. However, detailed mechanisms and physiological relevance of STING-induced senescence are not fully understood. Here, we unexpectedly found that IRF3, activated during innate DNA sensing, forms substantial endogenous complexes in the nucleus with retinoblastoma (RB), a well-known tumor suppressor and key cell cycle regulator. The IRF3-RB interaction attenuates CDK4/6-mediated hyperphosphorylation of RB that mobilizes RB to deactivate E2 family (E2F) transcription factors, thereby driving cells into senescence. STING-IRF3-RB signaling plays a notable role in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) within CCl4 or bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced murine models, pushing activated HSCs towards senescence. Accordingly, global IRF3 knockout or conditional deletion of IRF3 in HSCs aggravated liver fibrosis, a process mitigated by an FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitor. These findings underscore a straightforward yet vital mechanism of cGAS-STING signaling in inducing cellular senescence and unveil its unexpected biology in limiting liver fibrosis.

CDK4/6 inhibits the STING signaling axis through RB1-dependent and RB1-independent pathways in prostate cancer

Project description:The efficacy of immunotherapy in prostate cancer is not satisfactory due to the “cold” tumor microenvironment and the paucity of neoantigens. The STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling axis as core molecules of the innate immune system is increasingly recognized as a candidate target for cancer immunotherapy. Previou studies reported that CDK4/6 inhibitors induced DNA damage to activate the cGAS-STING pathway. However, the underlying mechanisms of how CDK4/6 inactivated the cGAS-STING pathway are still elusive. Here we revealed that treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors enhance the anti-tumor effect of STING agonists in prostate cancer cells. Mechanically, CDK4/6 phosphorylated TBK1 at S527 to inactive the STING signaling pathway independent of RB1 in prostate cancer cell. Then, we also found that CDK4/6 phosphorylated RB1 at S249/T252 to induce the interaction of RB1 with TBK1 and diminish the phosphorylation of TBK1 at S172, which also suppresses the activation of the STING pathway. Collectively, we found that CDK4/6 inhibits the STING/TBK1/IRF3 axis through RB1-dependent and RB1-independent pathways in prostate cancer cells. These insights provide the novel evidence for CDK4/6 suppressing the innate immune response of prostate cancer.

The noncanonical cGAS-STING-PERK pathway enables a selective translation program and underlies organ fibrosis [STING2]

Project description:Innate DNA sensing via the cGAS-STING pathway surveys both microbial invasion and cellular damage, constituting a ubiquitous mechanism for host defense and tissue homeostasis. However, very little is known about the signaling mechanism(s) and physiological impacts downstream of cGAS-STING signaling and independent of the classical TBK1-IRF3-IFN cascade. Here, we identified an unrecognized STING-PERK-eIF2α signaling axis that was specific and controlled cap-dependent translation, a fundamental cellular process. STING, upon activation by 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), robustly bound and directly activated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located kinase PERK, and this process was upstream of IRF3 activation and independent of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and TBK1/IKKε. Innate DNA sensing suppressed global translation programs but selectively ensured the activation of some pathways by PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation and the rapid regulation of protein synthesis, enabling translational modulation of immune responses. Notably, the STING-PERK-eIF2α axis is an evolutionarily primitive component of STING-TBKI-IRF3-IFN signaling and is physiologically critical in pulmonary and renal fibrosis as well as in the regulation of cellular senescence. Therefore, these findings establish the first noncanonical pathway of the cGAS-STING mechanism and demonstrate the physiological importance of this STING-triggered selective translation, which we propose as a promising therapeutic target for fibrotic diseases.

CDK4/6 inhibits the STING signaling axis through RB1-dependent and RB1-independent pathways in prostate cancer

Project description:The efficacy of immunotherapy in prostate cancer is not satisfactory due to the heterogeneity of this cancer, the “cold” tumor microenvironment and the paucity of neoantigens. The STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling axis as core molecules of the innate immune system is increasingly recognized as a candidate target for cancer immunotherapy. Inhibition of CDK4/6 has been reported to r increase T-cell activation to enhance antitumor immunity. However, little is known about the relationship between CDK4/6 and innate immune-related STING signaling. In this study, we revealed that combination treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors and STING agonists is significantly more effective than treatment with STING agonists alone in eliminating prostate cancer cells. Then, we demonstrated that CDK4/6 phosphorylate TBK1 at S527 to inactive the STING signaling pathway independent of RB1 in prostate cancer cell. On the other hand, CDK4/6 phosphorylate RB1 at S249/T252 to promote the interaction of RB1 with TBK1 and diminish the phosphorylation of TBK1 at S172, which also suppresses the activation of the STING pathway. Collectively, we found that CDK4/6 inhibits the STING/TBK1/IRF3 axis through RB1-dependent and RB1-independent pathways and elucidated the detailed mechanism. These insights lay a solid foundation for the synergistic application of CDK4/6 inhibitors with STING activators in prostate cancer patients.

Cyclic-Di-Nucleotides Trigger ULK1 (ATG1) Phosphorylation of STING to Prevent Sustained Innate Immune Signaling

Project description:Activation of the STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) pathway by microbial or self-DNA, as well as cyclic di nucleotides (CDN), results in the induction of numerous genes that suppress pathogen replication and facilitate adaptive immunity. However, sustained gene transcription is rigidly prevented to avoid lethal STING-dependent pro-inflammatory disease by mechanisms that remain unknown. We demonstrate here that after autophagy-dependent STING delivery of TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1) to endosomal/lysosomal compartments and activation of transcription factors IRF3 (interferon regulatory factors 3) and NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa beta), that STING is subsequently phosphorylated by serine/threonine UNC-51-like kinase (ULK1/ATG1) and IRF3 function is suppressed. ULK1 activation occurred following disassociation from its repressor adenine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), and was elicited by CDN’S generated by the cGAMP synthase, cGAS. Thus, while CDN’s may initially facilitate STING function, they subsequently trigger negative-feedback control of STING activity, thus preventing the persistent transcription of innate immune genes. Total RNA obtained from primary STING deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast reconstituted with mSTING (W), S365A variant (A), or S365D variant (D). These cells were transfected with dsDNA (ISD) for 3 hours.

Pervasive nuclear envelope ruptures precede ECM signaling and disease onset without activating cGAS-STING in Lamin cardiomyopathy mice [SLAM-IT-seq]

Project description:Nuclear envelope (NE) ruptures are emerging observations in Lamin-related dilated cardiomyopathy, an adult-onset disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in Lamin A/C, a nuclear lamina component. Here, we test a prevailing hypothesis that NE ruptures trigger the pathological cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway using a mouse model of Lamin cardiomyopathy. The reduction of Lamin A/C in cardiomyocytes of adult mice causes pervasive NE ruptures in cardiomyocytes, preceding inflammatory transcription, fibrosis, and fatal dilated cardiomyopathy. NE ruptures are followed by DNA damage accumulation without causing immediate cardiomyocyte death. However, cGAS-STING-dependent inflammatory signaling remains inactive. Deleting cGas or Sting does not rescue cardiomyopathy. The lack of cGAS-STING activation is likely due to the near absence of cGAS expression in adult cardiomyocytes at baseline. Instead, extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling is activated and predicted to initiate pro-inflammatory communication from Lamin-reduced cardiomyocytes to fibroblasts. Our work nominates ECM signaling, not cGAS-STING, as a potential inflammatory contributor in Lamin cardiomyopathy.

Innate immune sensing of cytosolic chromatin fragments through cGAS promotes senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence is triggered by various distinct stresses and characterized by a permanent cell cycle arrest. Senescent cells secrete a variety of inflammatory factors, collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The mechanism(s) underlying the regulation of the SASP remains incompletely understood. Here we define a role for innate DNA sensing in the regulation of senescence and the SASP. We find that cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) recognizes cytosolic chromatin fragments (CCFs) in senescent cells. The activation of cGAS, in turn triggers the production of SASP factors via Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), thereby promoting paracrine senescence. We demonstrate that diverse stimuli of cellular senescence engage the cGAS-STING pathway in vitro and we show cGAS-dependent regulation of senescence upon irradiation and oncogene activation in vivo. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular senescence by establishing the cGAS-STING pathway as a crucial regulator of senescence and the SASP.
