Abstrakt: While immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, its safety has been hampered by immunotherapy-related adverse events. Unexpectedly, we show that Mediator complex subunit 1 (MED1) is required for T regulatory (T reg ) cell function specifically in the tumor microenvironment. T reg cell-specific MED1 deletion does not predispose mice to autoimmunity or excessive inflammation. In contrast, MED1 is required for T reg cell promotion of tumor growth because MED1 is required for the terminal differentiation of effector T reg cells in the tumor. Suppression of these terminally differentiated T reg cells is sufficient for eliciting antitumor immunity. Both human and murine T reg cells experience divergent paths of differentiation in tumors and matched tissues with non-malignant inflammation. Collectively, we identify a pathway promoting the differentiation of a T reg cell effector subset specific to tumors and demonstrate that suppression of a subset of T reg cells is sufficient for promoting antitumor immunity in the absence of autoimmune consequences.
