Here, we show that platelet-released serotonin drives lung pathology in a mouse model of age-associated disease severity after SARS-CoV-2 infection. In middle-aged mice and aged human healthy donors, platelet serotonin release upon activation was enhanced, and increased morbidity with respiratory dysfunction was associated with activated platelets aggregating and promoting fibrin deposition in the lung microvasculature. Pharmacologic or genetic disruption of serotonin uptake, or blockade of serotonin-dependent signaling, attenuated platelet activation and protected against respiratory distress, independently of viral replication and immune responses. Inhibition of fibrin formation similarly reduced disease severity, implicating serotonin-driven platelet procoagulant activity as a key contributor to age-related lung dysfunction. Thus, serotonin-mediated platelet procoagulant activity is a major contributor to respiratory insufficiency during SARS-CoV-2 infection and a potential therapeutic target for preserving pulmonary function, particularly in the elderly.</div>","PeriodicalId":21734,"journal":{"name":"Science Immunology","volume":"11 122","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.science.org/doi/reader/10.1126/sciimmunol.aec9853","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148838457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms restricting therapeutic STING activation remain unclear. In mice, intratumoral delivery of the endogenous STING ligand cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate (GMP-AMP) (cGAMP) using viruslike particles (VLPs) preferentially activates STING in dendritic cells and primes circulating tumor-specific T cells. Using this system, we investigated mechanisms limiting effective STING-based immunotherapy. STING-induced type I interferon signaling was dispensable for cGAMP-VLP–mediated tumor control. In contrast, dendritic cell autophagy was required for generating circulating antitumor CD8 T cells and for regulating baseline neutrophil levels in lymph nodes. cGAMP-VLP overrode this regulation, inducing neutrophil accumulation in tumors and draining lymph nodes that limited efficacy. Neutrophil depletion enhanced tumor control through mechanisms involving neutrophil elastase and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1.

These distinct classes of oxidized lipids not only share overlapping inflammatory roles but also exhibit divergent effects depending on their molecular structures and cellular targets. This Review highlights the double-edged nature of oxPLs: Although their transient production triggers protective responses, their accumulation sustains inflammation, contributing to tissue damage. We also discuss the emerging roles of oxPLs in cell death programs, immune cell activation, and stromal cell functions, which are critical processes favoring tumor growth.
