Regulatory T (Treg) cells play critical roles in maintaining immune tolerance and tissue homeostasis, but impede anti-tumor immunity. Recent work has established how Treg cells metabolically adapt within the tumor microenvironment (TME), and these adaptations frequently provide a functional advantage over effector T cells. Further, enhanced Treg cell function in the TME may contribute to the limited efficacy of current immunotherapies, especially immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here, we review recent progress in understanding mechanisms of Treg cell heterogeneity and function in tumors, with a particular focus on cellular metabolism as an underlying factor by which Treg cells are uniquely poised to thrive in the TME and contribute to tumorigenesis. We describe how cellular metabolism and nutrient or metabolic communication shape Treg cell lineage identity and function in the TME. We also discuss the interplay between ICB and Treg cell metabolism and function, and highlight current strategies targeting Treg cell metabolism specifically in the TME. Understanding metabolic control of intratumoral Treg cells provides excellent opportunities to uncover new or combination therapies for cancer.
期刊介绍:
Oncogene is dedicated to advancing our understanding of cancer processes through the publication of exceptional research. The journal seeks to disseminate work that challenges conventional theories and contributes to establishing new paradigms in the etio-pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancers. Emphasis is placed on research shedding light on processes driving metastatic spread and providing crucial insights into cancer biology beyond existing knowledge.
Areas covered include the cellular and molecular biology of cancer, resistance to cancer therapies, and the development of improved approaches to enhance survival. Oncogene spans the spectrum of cancer biology, from fundamental and theoretical work to translational, applied, and clinical research, including early and late Phase clinical trials, particularly those with biologic and translational endpoints.
