요약 | Recognition of foreign nucleic acids is critical for antiviral defense. Detection of DNA is mediated by the cGAS-STING pathway, which activates a potent type I interferon response. This pathway is broadly required for antiviral defense across cell types and species, and its relevance in context of infection, cancer, and autoimmunity has been thoroughly established. However, we have discovered an additional STING-independent DNA sensing pathway (SIDSP) in human cells. Using STING KO human cell lines, we find that the induction of interferon is indeed abrogated at early timepoints, but surprisingly, at later timepoints, we observe a robust DNA-induced interferon response. Here we identify DNA-PK as the sensor for the SIDSP and demonstrate that its kinase activity is required for the antiviral response. We show that a heat shock protein HSPA8/HSC70 is phosphorylated after DNA stimulation and acts as a marker for the SIDSP. Finally, we explore how DNA viruses antagonize both the cGAS-STING pathway and the SIDSP. Our work highlights the importance of nucleic acid sensing for both host and virus and has implications for modulating DNA sensing in order to improve therapies for cancer or autoimmunity. |
