Abstract
AbstractCyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS) monitors dsDNA in the cytosol in response to pathogenic invasion or tissue injury, initiating cGAS‐STING signaling cascades that regulate various cellular physiologies, including IFN /cytokine production, autophagy, protein synthesis, metabolism, senescence, and distinct types of cell death. cGAS‐STING signaling is crucial for host defense and tissue homeostasis; however, its dysfunction frequently leads to infectious, autoimmune, inflammatory, degenerative, and cancerous diseases. Our knowledge regarding the relationships between cGAS‐STING signaling and cell death is rapidly evolving, highlighting their essential roles in pathogenesis and disease progression. Nevertheless, the direct control of cell death by cGAS‐STING signaling, rather than IFN/NF‐κB‐mediated transcriptional regulation, remains relatively unexplored. This review examines the mechanistic interplays between cGAS‐STING cascades and apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagic/lysosomal cell death. We will also discuss their pathological implications in human diseases, particularly in autoimmunity, cancer, and organ injury scenarios. We hope that this summary will stimulate discussion for further exploration of the complex life‐or‐death responses to cellular damage mediated by cGAS‐STING signaling.
