Objective:

To investigate the impact of DPP9 deficiency on tumor growth and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its sensitivity to combined irradiation and Olaparib therapy.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • DPP9 deficiency led to increased tumor weight and more lung metastasis compared to controls.
    • Irradiation reduced tumor growth initially, but DPP9-deficient tumors grew faster post-irradiation.
    • Combined treatment with irradiation and Olaparib significantly reduced tumor growth in DPP9-deficient tumors.
    Interpretation:

    Remove or rephrase to avoid unsupported conclusions.

    Limitations:
    • Study conducted in a mouse model, which may not fully replicate human disease.
    • Mixed outcomes observed in metastasis formation in DPP9-deficient tumors.
    Conclusion:

    Revise to eliminate implications about therapeutic targeting.
