Digitoflavone Ameliorates Acute Lung Injury via Disturbing the Formation of Functional Stimulator of Interferon Genes Signalosome by Jun-Jie Li, Qing Yao, Ming Dong, Yan Wang, Ye Xiu, Zhi-Xin Wu, Xiao-Mei Zhao, Yin-Kang Wang, Xian-Ling Wang, Yu-Xuan Tian, Xiao-He Xiao, Zhao-Fang Bai

“…Materials and Methods: The activation of the cGAS-STING pathway was modeled in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and human leukemia monocytic cell line (THP-1) cells in vivo, and the expression of type I IFN-related genes and pro-inflammatory cytokines was detected after DG pretreatment. Next, we examined the effect of DG on STING downstream signaling events, such as STING oligomerization and functional STING signalosome formation. …”
