RU-521 is an inhibitor of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS; IC50 = 0.11 ?M).1 It inhibits dsDNA-, but not IFN-β- or 5'ppp-HP20 RNA-, induced IFN-β1-dependent gene expression in reporter assays and does not inhibit Pam3CSK4-, poly(I:C)-, or LPS-induced Il6 mRNA expression in RAW 264.7 cells, indicating selectivity for cGAS-mediated signaling. It reduces basal Ifnb1 mRNA expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) generated from the Trex1-/- mouse model of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, an autoimmune disorder characterized by constitutive activation of cGAS and IFN overproduction.

Activating cGAS-STING axis contributes to neuroinflammation in CVST mouse model and induces inflammasome activation and microglia pyroptosis
J Neuroinflammation 2022 Jun 10;19(1):137.PMID:35689216DOI:10.1186/s12974-022-02511-0.
Background: Neuroinflammation-induced injury is intimately associated with poor prognosis in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon gene (cGAS-STING) axis is a cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) sensing pathway has recently emerged as a crucial mediator of neuroinflammation in ischemic stroke. However, the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in modulating post-CVST inflammation and the underlying mechanisms involved remain unclear. Methods: A CVST model was induced by ferric chloride in male C57BL/6J mice. The selective cGAS inhibitor RU.521, STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP, and STING siRNA were delivered by intranasal administration or intraventricular injection. Post-CVST assessments included rotarod test, TUNEL staining, Fluoro-Jade C staining, dihydroethidium staining, western blotting, qPCR, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, ELISA and flow cytometry. Results: cGAS, STING, NLRP3 and GSDMD were significantly upregulated after CVST and mostly in the microglia of the mouse brain. CVST triggered the release of dsDNA into the cytoplasm and elicited an inflammatory response via activating the cGAS-STING axis. RU.521 decreased the levels of 2'3'-cGAMP, STING and downstream inflammatory cytokines, and suppressed the expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis-pertinent components containing cleaved caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-C, pro- and cleaved IL-1β, and cleaved IL-1β/pro-IL-1β. Besides, RU.521 treatment also reduced oxidative stress, lessened the numbers of microglia and neutrophils, and ameliorated neuronal apoptosis, degeneration along with neurological deficits post-CVST. 2'3'-cGAMP delivery enhanced the expressions of STING and related inflammatory mediators, NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis-relevant proteins, whereas these alterations were significantly abrogated by the silencing of STING by siRNA. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that repression of the cGAS-STING pathway diminishes the neuroinflammatory burden of CVST and highlight this approach as a potential therapeutic tactic in CVST-mediated pathologies.
Small molecule inhibition of cGAS reduces interferon expression in primary macrophages from autoimmune mice
Nat Commun 2017 Sep 29;8(1):750.PMID:28963528DOI:10.1038/s41467-017-00833-9.
Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase is essential for innate immunity against infection and cellular damage, serving as a sensor of DNA from pathogens or mislocalized self-DNA. Upon binding double-stranded DNA, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase synthesizes a cyclic dinucleotide that initiates an inflammatory cellular response. Mouse studies that recapitulate causative mutations in the autoimmune disease Aicardi-Goutières syndrome demonstrate that ablating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase gene abolishes the deleterious phenotype. Here, we report the discovery of a class of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase inhibitors identified by a high-throughput screen. These compounds possess defined structure-activity relationships and we present crystal structures of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase, double-stranded DNA, and inhibitors within the enzymatic active site. We find that a chemically improved member, RU.521, is active and selective in cellular assays of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-mediated signaling and reduces constitutive expression of interferon in macrophages from a mouse model of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. RU.521 will be useful toward understanding the biological roles of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase and can serve as a molecular scaffold for development of future autoimmune therapies.Upon DNA binding cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) produces a cyclic dinucleotide, which leads to the upregulation of inflammatory genes. Here the authors develop small molecule cGAS inhibitors, functionally characterize them and present the inhibitor and DNA bound cGAS crystal structures, which will facilitate drug development.
cGAS/STING Pathway Activation Contributes to Delayed Neurodegeneration in Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia Rat Model: Possible Involvement of LINE-1
Mol Neurobiol 2020 Jun;57(6):2600-2619.PMID:32253733DOI:10.1007/s12035-020-01904-7.
cGAS is a sensor of cytosolic DNA and responds equally to exogenous and endogenous DNA. After recognition of cytosolic dsDNA or ssDNA, cGAS synthesizes the second messenger 2'3'-cGAMP, which then binds to and activates stimulator of interferon genes (STING). STING plays an essential role in responding to pathogenic DNA and self-DNA in the context of autoimmunity. In pathologic conditions, such as stroke or hypoxia-ischemia (HI), DNA can gain access into the cytoplasm of the cell and leak from the dying cells into the extracellular environment, which potentially activates cGAS/STING. Recent in vivo studies of myocardial ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and liver damage models suggest that activation of cGAS/STING is not only a side-effect of the injury, but it can also actively contribute to cell death and apoptosis. We found, for the first time, that cGAS/STING pathway becomes activated between 24 and 48 h after HI in a 10-day-old rat model. Silencing STING with siRNA resulted in decreased infarction area, reduced cortical neurodegeneration, and improved neurobehavior at 48 h, suggesting that STING can contribute to injury progression after HI. STING colocalized with lysosomal marker LAMP-1 and blocking STING reduced the expression of cathepsin B and decreased the expression of Bax and caspase 3 cleavage. We observed similar protective effects after intranasal treatment with cGAS inhibitor RU.521, which were reversed by administration of STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP. Additionally, we showed that long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposon, a potential upstream activator of cGAS/STING pathway was induced at 48 h after HI, which was evidenced by increased expression of ORF1p and ORF2p proteins and increased LINE-1 DNA content in the cytosol. Blocking LINE-1 with the nucleoside analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) stavudine reduced infarction area, neuronal degeneration in the cerebral cortex, and reduced the expression of Bax and cleaved caspase 3. Thus, our results identify the cGAS/STING pathway as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit delayed neuronal death after HI.
Blocking cGAS/STING signaling protects against sepsis-associated acute liver injury
Int Immunopharmacol 2022 Dec;113(Pt A):109276.PMID:36252490DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109276.
Sepsis-associated acute liver injury (ALI) contributes to the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and thus increases mortality. Nevertheless, specific therapeutics for sepsis-associated ALI are scant so far. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), a cytosolic DNA sensor, is implicated in a series of inflammatory diseases. However, whether cGAS functions in the pathogenesis of ALI is still unclear. We herein investigated the role of cGAS in the development of ALI, and if any, by which mechanism cGAS is involved. After a challenge using cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus d-galactosamine (GalN) in WT and gene-modified mice, we found that cGAS signaling was activated, and cGAS deficiency significantly attenuated CLP- or LPS/GalN-induced liver injury, liver dysfunction and so-caused mice death. In addition, CLP or LPS/GalN augmented type I interferon signaling-the downstream of cGAS pathway. Recombinant interferon-β (rIFNβ) enhanced LPS/GalN-induced hepatocyte death and partly reversed the protection induced by cGAS depletion. Besides of inflammation, cGAS deletion was capable of preventing LPS/GalN-induced hepatocyte death. Hepatocyte-specific deletion of STING, the downstream of cGAS activation, showed a significant protection against ALI, which could be phenocopied by pharmacological inhibition of cGAS or STING via RU.521 or H-151 respectively. Taken together, cGAS/STING signaling promotes ALI by both type I IFN responses and hepatocyte death. Inhibition of cGAS/STING signaling would be a promising strategy for preventing ALI in sepsis.
Small molecule inhibition of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase ameliorates sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction in mice
Life Sci 2020 Nov 1;260:118315.PMID:32835697DOI:10.1016/j.lfs.2020.118315.
Aims: Cardiac dysfunction is the main cause of multi-organ failure following sepsis within critical care units. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the small molecule inhibition of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), RU.521, on cardiac function in mice with sepsis. Materials and methods: Sepsis was induced in mice via intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Mice subsequently received 5 mg/kg RU.521 within 10 min form LPS injection. The cardiac function, inflammatory factor and oxidative stress of mice were examined for 24 h following LPS injection. Key findings: RU.521 was indicated to significantly increase the cardiac function of mice with sepsis. In addition, the inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and apoptosis in hearts of sepsis mice were markedly mitigated by RU.521. Moreover, inhibition of Sirt3 inhibited the protective effects of RU.521 on mice with sepsis. Significance: The current study indicated that RU.521 alleviated the inflammatory response and alleviated the damage induced by oxidative stress, leading to cardiac protection via increased Sirt3 expression in the hearts of mice with sepsis.
