Loss of tumor suppressor function is one of the major causes of uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Here authors show that inactivation of the tumor suppressors NF1, TSC1, and TGF-β RII also promotes a non-cell autonomous change in the tumor microenvironment, characterized by inflammatory features and LAG3+ T cell-mediated immune suppression, which are therapeutically targetable.
