Transcriptome-based characterization of 3'2'-cGAMP signaling mediated immune responses.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are critical adjuvants in antiviral vaccines and cancer immunotherapy, primarily through the activation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Evaluating the immune responses triggered by CDNs is essential for the development of effective adjuvants. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis to characterize the immune responses elicited by the recently identified nuclease-resistant Drosophila and bacterial CDN, 3'2'-cGAMP, in mammalian immune cells. We detected a robust induction of innate immune gene signature following 3'2'-cGAMP stimulation in digitonin-permeabilized mouse primary macrophages, comparable to the response observed with the canonical mammalian CDN, 2'3'-cGAMP. STING deficiency remarkably reduced 3'2'-cGAMP-induced phosphoryla
