摘要

Melanocytes are the source of the skin cancer known as melanoma. It usually affects the viscera, mucous membranes, and skin. Even so, melanoma only makes for 7% of all skin cancer occurrences. By triggering the generation of type I interferons (IFN-I) and inflammatory cytokines upon identifying microbial DNA, the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)–stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway promotes anti-microbial innate immunity. A growing body of research indicates that antitumor immunity depends on the cGAS-STING axis being activated. The cGAS-STING-regulated downstream cytokines, particularly IFN-I, act as linkages between adaptive and innate immunity. As a result, an increasing amount of research has concentrated on the synthesis and screening of agonists of the STING pathway. As a result, an increasing amount of research has concentrated on the synthesis and screening of agonists of the STING pathway. The many implications of the cGAS-STING pathway in the pathophysiology and therapy of melanoma are thoroughly examined in this study. Our research highlights the significance of the cGAS-STING pathway in melanoma and identifies it as a key target for boosting immunity against tumors.
