Abstract

Gain-of-function mutations in STING cause STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) characterized by early-onset systemic inflammation, skin vasculopathy, and interstitial lung disease. Here, we report and characterize a novel STING variant (F269S) identified in a SAVI patient. Single-cell transcriptomics of patient bone marrow revealed spontaneous activation of interferon (IFN) and inflammatory pathways across cell types and a striking prevalence of circulating naïve T cells was observed. Inducible STING F269S expression conferred enhanced signaling through ligand-independent translocation of the protein to the Golgi, protecting cells from viral infections but preventing their efficient immune priming. Additionally, endothelial cell activation was promoted and further exacerbated by cytokine secretion by SAVI immune cells, resulting in inflammation and endothelial damage. Our findings identify STING F269S mutation as a novel pathogenic variant causing SAVI, highlight the importance of the crosstalk between endothelial and immune cells in the context of lung disease, and contribute to a better understanding of how aberrant STING activation can cause pathology.

摘要

STING 上的功能获得性突变导致 STING 相关性血管病伴婴儿期起病(SAVI),其特征为早发系统性炎症、皮肤血管病和间质性肺病。在此,我们报道并鉴定了一名 SAVI 患者中发现的新型 STING 变异体(F269S)。患者骨髓的单细胞转录组学揭示了干扰素(IFN)和炎症途径在细胞类型中的自发激活,并且观察到循环幼稚 T 细胞的明显流行。诱导型 STING F269S 表达通过蛋白非依赖性易位到高尔基体赋予增强的信号传导,保护细胞免受病毒感染,但防止其有效的免疫启动。此外,内皮细胞的激活被 SAVI 免疫细胞分泌的细胞因子进一步加剧,导致炎症和内皮损伤。我们的研究结果确定 STING F269S 突变是导致 SAVI 的一种新型致病变异体,强调了肺疾病背景下内皮细胞和免疫细胞之间相互作用的重要性,并有助于更好地理解异常的 STING 激活如何导致病理学。
