STING1 and infection: Similarly, infection of Zika virus (ZIKV) induces the expression of STING (Stimulator of interferon genes), the component of NF-κB-dependent inflammatory signaling, to resist the replication of ZIKE by inducing autophagy in Drosophila neurons, while the precise mechanism of STING in inducing autophagy is not fully illustrated (Liu et al., 2018; Liu and Cherry, 2019).
