CGAS and systemic lupus erythematosus: These analyses revealed a sustained upregulation of a transcriptional profile of purinergic receptors and ectonucleotidases in cGVHD WT PECs, which displayed a coordinated expression with several type I interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and with key molecules involved in the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway, two hallmarks in the lupus pathology.
