Spontaneous T cell responses against tumors occur frequently and have prognostic value in patients. The mechanism of innate immune sensing of immunogenic tumors leading to adaptive T cell responses remains undefined, although type I interferons (IFNs) are implicated in this process. We found that spontaneous CD8+ T cell priming against tumors was defective in mice lacking stimulator of interferon genes complex (STING), but not other innate signaling pathways, suggesting involvement of a cytosolic DNA sensing pathway. In vitro, IFN-β production and dendritic cell activation were triggered by tumor-cell-derived DNA, via cyclic-GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), STING, and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). In the tumor microenvironment in vivo, tumor cell DNA was detected within host antigen-presenting cells, which correlated with STING pathway activation and IFN-β production. Our results demonstrate that a major mechanism for innate immune sensing of cancer occurs via the host STING pathway, with major implications for cancer immunotherapy. Display omitted •Spontaneous T cell responses against tumors require the host STING pathway in vivo•Tumor-derived DNA can induce type I interferon production via STING•Tumor DNA can be identified in host APCs in the tumor microenvironment in vivo The tumor-derived factors and host innate immune pathways that activate T cell responses against cancer are unclear. Gajewski and colleagues show a requirement for STING-dependent cytosolic DNA sensing in this process, via a mechanism associated with acquisition of tumor cell DNA by antigen-presenting cells.
