Using mouse models for prostate cancer, we discovered an inhibitory activity of dipeptidyl aminopeptidases (DPPs) in animals with aggressive disease. The affected enzyme was identified and shown to be similarly inhibited in sera of patients with metastatic tumors. When used in combination with PSA, the newly developed DPP activity-based assay improves disease stratification over PSA alone.
