Immunosuppressive myeloid cells hinder immunotherapeutic efficacy in tumors, but the precise mechanisms remain undefined. Here, by performing single-cell RNA sequencing in colorectal cancer tissues, we found tumor-associated macrophages and granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells increased most compared to their counterparts in normal tissue and displayed the highest immune-inhibitory signatures among all immunocytes. These cells exhibited significantly increased expression of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif-bearing receptors, including SIRPA. Notably, Sirpa-/- mice were more resistant to tumor progression than wild-type mice. Moreover, Sirpα deficiency reprogramed the tumor microenvironment through expansion of TAM_Ccl8hi and gMDSC_H2-Q10hi subsets showing strong antitumor activity. Sirpa-/- macrophages presented strong phagocytosis and antigen presentation to enhance T cell activation and proliferation. Furthermore, Sirpa-/- macrophages facilitated T cell recruitment via Syk/Btk-dependent Ccl8 secretion. Therefore, Sirpα deficiency enhances innate and adaptive immune activation independent of expression of CD47 and Sirpα blockade could be a promising strategy to improve cancer immunotherapy efficacy.
