Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a highly heterogeneous group of mature T-cell malignancies. The efficacy of current first-line treatment is dismal, and novel agents are urgently needed to improve patient outcomes. A close association between the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway and tumor promotion exists, revealing prospective therapeutic targets. This study, investigates the role of the cGAS-STING pathway and its underlying mechanisms in PTCL progression. Single-cell RNA sequencing showes that the cGAS-STING pathway is highly expressed and closely associated with PTCL proliferation. cGAS inhibition suppresses tumor growth and impaires DNA damage repair. Moreover, Cdc2-like kinase 1 (CLK1) is critical for residual tumor cell survival after treatment with cGAS inhibitors, and CLK1 suppression enhances sensitivity to cGAS inhibitors. Single-cell dynamic transcriptomic analysis indicates reduced proliferation-associated nascent RNAs as the underlying mechanism. In first-line therapy, chemotherapy-triggered DNA damage activates the cGAS-STING pathway, and cGAS inhibitors can synergize with chemotherapeutic agents to kill tumors. The cGAS-STING pathway is oncogenic in PTCL, whereas targeting cGAS suppresses tumor growth, and CLK1 may be a sensitivity indicator for cGAS inhibitors. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing therapeutic strategies for PTCL, especially in patients with relapsed/refractory disease.
