In mammalian cells, DNA-sensing pathways induce robust anti-microbial responses and initiation of adaptive immunity, leading to the eventual clearance of the infectious agent. However, while conferring the advantage of broad detection capability, the sequence-independent recognition mechanisms of most DNA sensors pose a significant challenge for mammalian cells to maintain ignorance to self-DNA under homeostatic conditions. In this Review, we summarize the fundamentals of DNA-sensing pathways and the intricate regulatory networks that keep these pathways in check. In addition, we describe how regulatory restraints can be defective and underlie human autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Further, we discuss therapies in development that limit inflammation fueled by self-DNA or inappropriate activation of DNA-sensing pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":19032,"journal":{"name":"Nature Immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":30.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142370048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LysoPS was enriched in the tumor microenvironment and could inhibit ILC1 activation via GPR34. Genetic deletion of LysoPS synthase <i>Abhd16a</i> expression in tumors or <i>Gpr34</i> expression in ILC1s or antagonizing GPR34 enhanced ILC1 antitumor activity. In individuals with cancer, <i>ABHD16A</i> expression in tumors or <i>GPR34</i> expression in ILC1s was inversely correlated with the antitumor activity of ILC1s or ILC1-like cells.
