Intermetallic nanoassemblies potentiate systemic STING activation

Abstract
En 中文
Molecules that activate innate immune signaling through the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway are of interest for cancer therapies. However, the use of agonists developed for this purpose has been hampered because they generally require high doses and can be toxic. Zhou et al. generated an intermetallic nanoparticle called CRYSTAL that self-assembles when manganese ions intercalate with cyclic dinucleotides (see the Perspective by Liao and Irvine). CRYSTAL was able to activate STING, could control tumors at low doses in mice and rabbits, and had a promisingly low toxicity profile. Rather than acting on cancer cells, CRYSTAL activated STING in myeloid cells preferentially, promoting antitumor T cell responses. —Sarah H. Ross
