Core Tip The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is activated in peritoneal fibrosis (PF). This study shows that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) alleviate high glucose-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and murine PF. Mechanistically, hUC-MSCs exert protective effects by inhibiting the cGAS-STING axis. These findings identify hUC-MSCs as a promising therapeutic strategy to retard PF progression by targeting the cGAS-STING pathway in patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis.
