Regulatory T cells rely on active processes to maintain a suppressive phenotype inside a tumor, leading to increased tumor burden and worse cancer outcomes. Here, we report a pathway to interfere with regulatory T cell (Treg) stability by disrupting the expression of the interleukin 23 receptor. This approach increases Treg responsiveness to interleukin 12, leading to increased production of gamma-interferon and more efficient antitumor immune responses. The combined engagement of independent pathways to destabilize Treg through the interleukin 23 receptor and the glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein receptor has a synergistic impact on the Treg phenotype and promotes antitumor immune responses. These findings expand our understanding of regulatory T-cell biology and offer tools for cancer immunotherapy. Regulatory T cells (Treg) can impede antitumor immunity and currently represent a major obstacle to effective cancer immunotherapy. Targeting tumor-infiltrating regulatory Treg while sparing systemic Treg represents an optimal approach to this problem. Here, we provide evidence that the interleukin 23 receptor (IL23R) expressed by tumor-infiltrating Treg promotes suppressive activity. Disruption of the IL23R results in increased responsiveness of destabilized Treg to the IL12 cytokine, the production of γ-interferon, and the recruitment of CD8 T cells that inhibit tumor growth. Since the Treg destabilization pathway that is initiated by IL23R blockade is distinct and independent from the destabilization pathway coupled to glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR) activation, we examined the impact of the coordinate induction of the two destabilization pathways on antitumor immune responses. Combined GITR and IL23R antibody treatment of mice inoculated with MC38 tumors resulted in robust and synergistic antitumor responses. These findings indicate that the delineation of independent Treg destabilization pathways may allow improved approaches to the development of combination immunotherapy for cancers.
