Abstract:Background Inflammation is a key contributor of neuronal death and dysfunction following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recent evidence suggests that interferons may be a key regulator of this response. Our studies evaluated the role of the Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase-Stimulator of Interferon Genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway a murine model of TBI. Methods Male, eight-week old wildtype, STING knockout ( -/- ), cGAS -/- , and NLRX1 -/- mice were subjected to controlled cortical impact (CCI) or sham injury. Histop… Show more
