While cancer cells often hijack resources from the stroma, whether immune cells can conversely acquire tumor organelles remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells selectively acquire functional mitochondria from tumor cells via a TCR-independent, Trak1–Miro1-mediated contact mechanism. Strikingly, this mitochondrial transfer enhances CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, driving increased Granzyme B and Perforin production. This process is fueled by tumor-mitochondria-derived sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which activates S1PR1 signaling and receptor internalization within recipient T cells. Deficiency in tumor SPHK2 reduces mitochondrial S1P, impairing T cell function and promoting tumor progression. Our findings reveal the pivotal role of mitochondrial transfer in the regulation of anti-tumor immunity.2026/09/01GSE329367GSM9702565GSM9702568GSM9702569GSM9702566GSM9702567GSM970257028330329367Mus musculus
