Tissue-specific interferon-gamma levels drive regulatory T cells to restrain DC1-mediated priming of cytotoxic T cells against lung cancer


ABSTRACT: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are proposed to restrain anti-tumor T cell responses either directly or by suppression of antigen-presenting cells and can act in a tissue-specific manner. Treg abundance is typically reported as a measure of suppression, without consideration of Treg functional quality. Here, we find that Tregs suppress type 1 conventional dendritic cells (DC1) and thereby induce dysfunctional CD8+ T cell responses against lung cancer. This immunoregulatory effect is spatially coordinated within tissue-specific lymph node microniches and requires antigen-specific contact between DC1 and Tregs. Suppressive clonally expanded TH1-like effector Tregs were differentially induced in the lung lymph node in response to tissue-specific levels of interferon-gamma. In cancer patients, TH1-like Tregs but not CD8+/Treg ratios correlate with poor responses to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Thus, Tregs that adopt the interferon-gamma-dependent TH1-like effector state have increased potential to restrain tumor-reactive T cell responses and represent a critical barrier to productive anti-tumor immunity.
