In a recent study, Yu et al. demonstrated that TAR DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) causes inflammation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by triggering mitochondrial (mt)DNA release into the cytoplasm, which subsequently activates the cytoplasmic DNA-sensing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. These results suggest that inhibition of cGAS/STING could help mitigate inflammation-related neuropathology in ALS.
在最近的一项研究中,于等人表明,TAR DNA 结合蛋白 43 kDa(TDP-43)通过触发线粒体(mt)DNA 释放到细胞质中,从而引发肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)中的炎症,随后激活细胞质 DNA 感应环鸟苷酸-腺苷酸合酶(cGAS)/干扰素基因刺激物(STING)途径。这些结果表明,抑制 cGAS/STING 可能有助于减轻 ALS 中的炎症相关神经病理学。
