In this study, we show that 5-FU and oxaliplatin induce DNA damage and activate cGAS/STING signaling leading to enhanced expression of interferon (IFN) β, IFN-stimulated genes and inflammatory cytokines in mouse and human colon cancer cells as well as increased intratumoral CD8+ T cells in mice. Here, STING1 is linked to malignant colon neoplasm.
