Component

The cGAS-STING pathway

The cGAS-STING pathway. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Dihydrocapsaicin enhanced the survival of multizone perforator flaps by suppressing the cGAS-STING pathway, oxidative stress and formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, inducing oxidative stress resistance and preventing apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells, whereas activation of the cGAS-STING pathway led to accumulation of reactive oxygen species and NLRP3 inflammasome and diminished the protective role of dihydrocapsaicin.
