[Activation of cGAS/STING signaling pathway and its immunological role in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease].

Today, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease remains the most dominant chronic liver disease. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monosphosphate synthase (cGAS) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate, activates stimulator of interferon genes (STING), and releases type-I interferon cytokines to trigger immune responses. Exogenous or endogenous DNA acts as a cGAS ligand to activate the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, which plays a role in hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver cancer and other diseases, and affects liver disease progression and metabolism through mechanisms such as autophagy. This article reviews the activation of cGAS-STING pathway and its molecular immunological role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease progression.非酒精性脂肪性肝病仍是当今最主要的慢性肝病。细胞DNA传感器环磷酸鸟-腺苷合成酶（cGAS）通过催化合成环磷酸鸟苷，激活干扰素基因刺激因子（STING），释放以I型干扰素为代表的细胞因子引发免疫反应。外源或内源DNA为cGAS配体激活cGAS-STING信号通路，在肝炎、非酒精性脂肪肝疾病、肝癌等疾病中发挥作用，通过自噬和代谢等机制影响肝病进展。现综述非酒精性脂肪肝疾病进展中cGAS-STING通路激活及其分子免疫学作用。.
