摘要

Regulatory T (Treg) cells are vital for immune suppression. The role of the coreceptor programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) in Treg cell function is controversial. Here, we demonstrate that PD-1 deficiency enhances the function of Treg cells through expression of a compensatory network of coinhibitory receptors. CD30 has a central role within this network, driving the Treg cell suppressive function within the tumor microenvironment. Mechanistically, PD-1 deficiency enhances STAT5 signaling in Treg cells, which induces CD30 expression. These data indicate a role for PD-1 as a checkpoint that negatively controls CD30 expression in Treg cells to limit their suppressive function. Understanding the functional changes that PD-1 has on Treg cells might enable combination therapies with better treatment outcomes in cancer.
