Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The present study showed the important role of cGAS-Sting in CD8 T cells and cDCs cooperatively suppressing breast cancer by CTX treatment. The experimental data are well done and sufficient to support the authors' conclusions. I suggest that authors could draw a graphic summary to let readers easy to understand how CD8 T cells and cDCs suppressed tumor growth by CTX treatment.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This study examines how the cGAS-STING-IFN-I pathway influences cyclophosphamide (CTX) treatment for advanced breast cancer. The authors provide solid evidence that cGAS and STING in host myeloid cells play a key role in CTX-induced immune responses, particularly in activating type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) and IFN-I signaling in myeloid cells. These findings improve our understanding of CTX’s immune mechanisms and could help refine cancer treatments. I think the manuscript can be accepted in its present form.
