An Analysis of the Expression and Association with Immune Cell Infiltration of the cGAS/STING Pathway in Pan-Cancer

Abstract Recent evidence shows that cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) signaling is essential for antitumor immunity by inducing the production of type I IFN and thus activating both innate and adaptive immunity based on gene knockout mouse models. However, the extensive detection of the expression of cGAS/STING signaling in human cancer and mining the roles of this signaling pathway in human cancer immunity have not been performed until now. In this study, we revealed that four
