STING signaling activation inhibits HBV replication and attenuates the severity of liver injury and HBV-induced fibrosis

Yuqi Li et al.

Summary: Activation of the STING signaling pathway can inhibit HBV replication by epigenetic suppression of cccDNA and alleviate HBV-induced liver fibrosis through the suppression of macrophage inflammasome activation by activating autophagic flux in a chronic HBV mouse model. Targeting the STING pathway may be an important therapeutic strategy to protect against persistent HBV replication and HBV-induced fibrosis.

Phase I Dose-Escalation Trial of MIW815 (ADU-S100), an Intratumoral STING Agonist, in Patients with Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors or Lymphomas

Funda Meric-Bernstam et al.

Summary: This study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of MIW815, a novel cyclic dinucleotide, in patients with advanced/metastatic cancers. Results showed that MIW815 was well tolerated, but had limited clinical activity as a single agent. However, evidence of systemic immune activation was observed.

E7766, a Macrocycle-Bridged Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) Agonist with Potent Pan-Genotypic Activity

Dae-Shik Kim et al.

Summary: This study describes a strategy for creating a novel STING agonist (MBSA) by locking a bioactive U-shaped conformation of cyclic dinucleotides with a transannular macrocyclic bridge between the nucleic acid bases, resulting in substantial potency and pan-genotypic activity. The clinical candidate E7766 demonstrates potent antitumor activity with long-lasting immune memory response, showing efficacy in a mouse liver metastatic tumor model. Additionally, two complementary stereoselective synthetic routes to E7766 are described.

Targeting Innate Immunity in Cancer Therapy

Srikrishnan Rameshbabu et al.

Summary: The majority of cancer immunotherapy strategies focus on enhancing antitumor adaptive immune responses, but the efficacy is limited to a small fraction of patients within certain tumor types. Novel approaches to activate innate immunity within the tumor microenvironment to improve antitumor immune responses have emerged, as well as rational combination strategies to activate both innate and adaptive immunity for enhanced therapeutic efficacy.

ExoSTING, an extracellular vesicle loaded with STING agonists, promotes tumor immune surveillance

Su Chul Jang et al.

Summary: CDN agonists of the STING pathway show immune activation and tumor clearance, but intratumorally administered CDNs can also cause cytotoxicity, inflammation, and immune ablation. ExoSTING, an engineered EV loaded with CDN, enhances efficacy and preferentially activates antigen presenting cells in the TME, leading to enhanced local and systemic anti-tumor immunity while avoiding systemic inflammatory responses.

STING Agonists as Cancer Therapeutics

Afsaneh Amouzegar et al.

Summary: Immunotherapies have significantly impacted cancer treatment, yet some patients do not respond effectively. Recent efforts have been focused on identifying targets that could enhance anti-tumor immune responses, with STING pathway being one novel and promising target. Research on STING agonists has opened avenues for developing more effective strategies in cancer immunotherapy.

Turning cold tumors into hot tumors by improving T-cell infiltration

Yuan-Tong Liu et al.

Summary: Immunotherapy, particularly through immune checkpoint inhibitors, has significantly improved the treatment of malignant tumors by enhancing T cell infiltration into tumors. Understanding the mechanisms underlying cold tumors, which lack T cell infiltration, is crucial to improving immunotherapy efficacy. Strategies to transform cold tumors into hot tumors and increase T cell infiltration are discussed, along with the potential of nanomedicines in enhancing tumor immunotherapy.
