Targeting VCP enhances colorectal cancer therapy through STING stabilization

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Immunotherapy resistance in microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major therapeutic challenge. Recent strategies to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment have focused on reactivating innate immune pathways, particularly the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) axis, which links cytosolic DNA sensing to proinflammatory cytokine production and T cell activation. Although STING agonists show promise, their clinical application is…
