CD8A and breast neoplasm: In this study, we demonstrate that the response of BRCA1-deficient breast tumors to PARPi is strongly limited by pro-tumorigenic TAMs, which not only inhibit CD8+ T cells but also suppress PARPi-triggered tumor cell DNA damage, resulting in reduced cytosolic dsDNA fragments and synthetic lethality, thereby dampening the activation of DNA sensing STING pathway.
