Clinical features of RA primarily include joint swelling, pain, stiffness, weakness, deformity, and fatigue ( Innate immunity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of RA, including various innate immune cells and components ( The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway is crucial for cells to recognize and respond to cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), serving as a primary driver for the establishment of innate immunity through the induction of IFN-I ( 2 An overview of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is widely distributed in immune cells, non-immune cells, tumor cells, and other tissue-derived cells ( cGAS, acts as a cytosolic DNA sensor, recognizing DNA in the cytoplasm that originates from pathogens, mitochondria, micronuclei, and dead cells ( STING, initially identified before cGAS, is a 379 amino acid protein located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane ( Figure 1 ) ( Figure 1 cGAS-STING signaling activation and IFN-I production are involved in multiple pathological and physiological processes
No validated safety profile: Neither peptide has completed human trials, and the combination has no human safety data at all
By blocking NF-kB activation in intestinal tissue, KPV reduces the production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that would otherwise enter systemic circulation and cross into the brain
