Abstract

Treg cells exhibited opposite enrichment patterns in adjacent normal colon tissues and tumors. Transcriptionally similar Treg subsets were observed across different human barrier tissue tumors. This functional dichotomy between Treg subsets may enable selective targeting of the pro-tumoral subset while preserving its anti-tumoral counterpart in CRC and other barrier tissue cancers.
