To understand the role of STING in cancers, we first obtained the expression data of STING across various human tissues from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database26, with the access provided by the Human Protein Atlas (https://www.proteinatlas.org/)27 We found that lung tissues exhibited the highest level of STING expression compared to other normal tissues (Fig. 1a), suggesting STING may play a significant physiological role in lung. The gene discussed is STING1; the disease is cancer.
