Regulatory T cells in tumor immunity
Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are physiologically engaged in the maintenance of immunological self‐tolerance, play critical roles for the control of antitumor immune responses. For example, a large number of Foxp3+Tregs infiltrate into tumors, and systemic removal of Foxp3+Tregs enhances natural as well as vaccine‐induced antitumor T‐cell responses. Tregs are recruited to tumor tissues via chemokines, such as CCL22 binding to CCR4 expressed by Tregs. They appear to expand and become activated in tumor tissues and in the draining lymph nodes by recognizing tumor‐associated antigens as well as normal self‐antigen expressed by tumor cells. These results indicate that cancer vaccines targeting tumor‐associated self‐antigens may potentially expand/activate Tregs and hamper effective antitumor immune responses, and that tumor immunity can therefore be enhanced by depleting Tregs, attenuating Treg suppressive function, or rendering effector T cells refractory to Treg‐mediated suppression. Recent attempts have indeed demonstrated that combinations of monoclonal antibodies capable of modulating Treg functions synergistically enhance antitumor activity and are more effective than a single monoclonal antibody therapy. Combination therapy targeting a variety of molecules expressed in antigen‐presenting cells, effector T cells and Tregs is envisaged to be a promising anticancer immunotherapy.

In a clinical setting, inhibiting anti-CTLA-4 antibodies enhance the activity of effector T cells while suppressing regulatory T cells, resulting in net inhibition of tumor progression.
“It has been shown that in a clinical setting, the use of these inhibiting anti-CTLA-4 antibodies is able to enhance the activity of effector T cells while suppressing regulatory T cells, resulting in net inhibition of tumor progression [130].”

From Current and Future Trends of Colorectal Cancer Treatment: Exploring Advances in Immunotherapy (2024) · cites this paper as [130]
The less robust success of CAR T-cell therapy in solid tumors may be due to limited availability of targetable antigens or inefficient trafficking of CAR T cells to tumor sites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
