Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in regulating STING-dependent DC antitumor function, with SENP3 directing this process. Deletion of SENP3 in DCs drives tumor progression and weakens the signaling of STING, resulting in reduced antitumor immune responses.
STING-dependent cytosolic DNA sensing in dendritic cells (DCs) initiates antitumor immune responses, but how STING signaling is metabolically regulated in the tumor microenvironment remains unknown. Here, we show that oxidative stress is required for STING-induced DC antitumor function through a process that directs SUMO-specific protease 3 (SENP3) activity. DC-specific deletion of Senp3 drives tumor progression by blunting STING-dependent type-I interferon (IFN) signaling in DCs and dampening antitumor immune responses. DC-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) trigger SENP3 accumulation and the SENP3-IFI204 interaction, thereby catalyzing IFI204 deSUMOylation and boosting STING signaling activation in mice. Consistently, SENP3 senses ROS to facilitate STING-dependent DC activity in tissue samples from colorectal cancer patients. Our results reveal that oxidative stress as a metabolic regulator promotes STING-mediated DC antitumor immune responses and highlights SENP3 as an overflow valve for STING signaling induction in the metabolically abnormal tumor microenvironment.
