ABSTRACT
STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is a critical immunoregulatory protein in sepsis and is regulated by various mechanisms, especially palmitoylation. FASN (fatty acid synthase) is the rate-limiting enzyme to generate cellular palmitic acid (PA) via acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA and participates in protein palmitoylation. However, the mechanisms underlying the interaction between STING and FASN have not been completely understood. In this study, STING-knockout mice were used to confirm the pivotal role of STING in sepsis-induced liver injury. Metabolomics confirmed the dyslipidemia in septic mice and patients. The compounds library was screened, revealing that FASN inhibitors exerted a significant inhibitory effect on the STING pathway. Mechanically, the regulatory effect of FASN on the STING pathway was dependent on palmitoylation. Further experiments indicated that the upstream of FASN, malonyl-CoA inhibited STING pathway possibly due to C91 (palmitoylated residue) of STING. Overall, this study reveals a novel paradigm of STING regulation and provides a new perspective on immunity and metabolism.
