The model depicts the regulation of STING protein levels by HSV1 induced miR-24 expression which inhibits STING signaling and promotes viral replication. HSV1 infection activates MAPKs which enhance the expression of AOPEP mRNA and miR-23b, miR-27b, miR-24 leading to miR-24 accumulation and targeting of STING signaling. This acts as an immune evasion strategy adopted by the virus to augment its own replication.
