Scientists explain why colorectal cancer behaves differently in the immune system
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering report that colorectal cancer’s unusual link between high regulatory T cell, or Treg, levels and better survival depends on which Treg subtype is present. In a mouse model of the common, immunotherapy-resistant microsatellite-stable form of colorectal cancer, IL-10–producing Tregs slowed tumor growth by suppressing tumor-promoting Th17 cells, while IL-10–negative Tregs blocked anti-cancer CD8+ T cells and supported tumor growth. The findings suggest more selective immunotherapy strategies that target harmful Tregs while preserving beneficial ones.
