描述信息 Immunosuppressive myeloid cells in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) constrain T cell activity and hinder immunotherapeutic efficacy, but the precise mechanisms remain undefined. Here, by performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, we found that macrophages and granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (gMDSCs) displaying the highest immune-inhibitory signatures were the most increased immunocytes in tumors compared to corresponding normal tissue. Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells exhibited significantly increased expression of ITIM-bearing receptors such as SIRPA, CLEC4A and SIGLEC9. Intriguingly, Sirpa-/- mice but not Clec4a2-/- or Siglece-/- mice were more resistant to tumor progression than wild-type (WT) mice. Additionally, the SIRPA expression level was inversely correlated with patient survival and cancer recurrence. Sirpa deficiency was associated with decreased total myeloid cells in TIICs, in parallel with expansion of the TAM_Ccl8hi and gMDSC_H2-Q10hi subsets, which showed strong antitumor activity and cell-cell communication and thus facilitated the consequent infiltration and proliferation of T cells in tumors. Interestingly, anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy exhibited superior efficacy in Sirpa-/- mice. Therefore, these findings suggest that Sirpa deletion enhances innate and adaptive immune activation in the TIME; thus, Sirpa blockade could be a promising strategy to improve cancer immunotherapy.
