The adipocyte supersystem of insulin and cAMP signaling

Adilson Guilherme et al.

Summary: Adipose tissue communicates with the brain, liver, and muscles to regulate whole body metabolism through secreted lipid and protein factors, as well as neurotransmission. The mechanisms involved in this communication are not fully understood. Adipocytes store triglyceride in fed conditions in response to insulin, while fasting triggers the breakdown of triglyceride, releasing glycerol and fatty acids. Insulin inhibits the production of cAMP, generated through G-protein-coupled receptors, including catecholamine-activated beta-adrenergic receptors, which leads to their antagonistic actions. Recent research has uncovered complexities in the signaling networks of these hormones, revealing unexpected common signaling nodes.

Activation of Stimulation of Interferon Genes (STING) Signal and Cancer Immunotherapy

Kewang Luo et al.

Summary: STING, as an intracellular receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum, can induce the production of cytokines by activating the cGAS-STING signal pathway, thus enhancing anti-tumor immunity and reshaping the tumor microenvironment. Several STING agonists have shown promising biological activity and exhibited excellent synergistic effects with other therapies in tumor treatment. Furthermore, the combination of STING agonists and ICI has a potent effect in improving anti-tumor immunity.
