Biological Information
Background Information:
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING, or TMEM173) is an endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein that functions as a major regulator of the innate immune response to viral, bacterial infections, highly expressed in hematopoietic cells including T lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes, myeloid cells as well as various endothelial or epithelial cells and lung, heart, smooth muscle. STING signal pathway is activated by cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) secreted by intracellular bacteria or 2’3’-cGAMP derived from the intracellular enzyme, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), upon invasion by pathogens and exposure to aberrant self-DNA, which leads to the production of interferons and proinflammatory cytokines. Targeting STING may be a potential for treatment of cancer and modulation of immune responses.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
HEK293T/17 cells are seeded overnight with reporter and human STING WT transfected mixture. Test compound and/or vehicle is incubated with cells at 37°C, 5% CO₂ for 6 hours. The STING response is evaluated by luciferase assay. Luminescence is measured using a microplate reader. Induction of STING response by 50 percent or more (≥50%) relative to 1 μM diABZI indicates significant response activity. Inhibition of STING response by 50 percent or more (≥50%) relative to 10 nM diABZI indicates significant STING antagonist activity.
Incubation:
360 min at 37°C
