A recent study showed that inhibition of HIF1A expression reduces stimulator of interferon gene (STING) associated proinflammatory molecule expression of macrophages in an EAM model, indicating that STING activates proinflammatory macrophage via HIF1A and herein promotes the development of autoimmune myocarditis (26). Here, STING1 is linked to autoimmune myocarditis.
