Tumor cell-intrinsic mtDNA instability drives cGAS-dependent temporal remodeling of the melanoma immune microenvironment

Abate Assefa Bashaw, Ashley D. Winters, Yuanjiu Lei, Luiza Ferreira Araujo, Do Gia Tam Vo, Arunachalam Sekar, John F. Bachman, Paige S Graves, Melissa Pineda, Jill Carol Rubinstein, Gerald S. Shadel, Marcus Bosenberg, Laura Ciaccia West, Andrew Phillip West

This study shows that tumor cell-intrinsic mtDNA instability drives temporal changes in the melanoma immune microenvironment through cGAS, affecting immune cell states and therapeutic response.

Activation of the cGAS-STING pathway contributes to cancer-related fatigue in a murine model of head and neck cancer

Brandon M. Chelette, Abate Assefa Bashaw, Joshua D. Bryant, Kiersten A. Scott, Chinenye L. Chidomere, Veronika Fedirko, Andrew Phillip West, Robert Dantzer

This study shows that the cGAS-STING pathway contributes to cancer-related fatigue in a mouse model of head and neck cancer, with STING inhibition reducing fatigue and inflammation.
