Genotoxic stress in constitutive trisomies induces autophagy and the innate immune response via the cGAS-STING pathway

Abstract excerpt

Gain of even a single chromosome leads to changes in human cell physiology and uniform perturbations of specific cellular processes, including downregulation of DNA replication pathway, upregulation of autophagy and lysosomal degradation, and constitutive activation of the type I interferon response. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes. We show that the constitutive nuclear...
