Trace metals are essential for various physiological processes, but their roles in innate immunity have not been fully explored. Here, we found that manganese (Mn) significantly enhanced DNA-mediated IFN-α, IFN-β, and IFN-λ1 production. Microarray analysis demonstrated Mn highly upregulated 351 genes, which were involved in multiple biological functions related to innate immune response. Moreover, we found that Mn<sup>2+</sup> alone activates phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). Inhi ...[more]
