[19] [20] [21] The involvement of the cGAS-mediated DNA-sensing pathway in host anti-Mtb immunity is indicated by the findings that cGAS expression is upregulated and that cGAS is colocalized with mycobacteria in human TB lesions, and its deficiency impairs the induction of type I IFN responses and autophagy in Mtb-infected macrophages. 23 Therefore, specifically targeting mycobacterial ESX-1 products or host regulatory factors might enable the selective regulation of inflammasome and cGAS/STING pathway activation and, hence, contribute to the recovery of the equilibrium between Th1-type cytokine and type I IFN responses in TB patients to improve their anti-Mtb immunity. ./cache/cord-013837-x95r6bz8.txt ./txt/cord-013837-x95r6bz8.txt
