Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune effector cells that play a crucial role in immune surveillance and the destruction of cancer cells. NK cells express a low-affinity receptor for the Fc or constant region of immunoglobulin G (FcγRIIIa) and multiple cytokine receptors that respond to antibody-coated targets and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment. In the present work, microarray gene expression analysis revealed that the IL-21 receptor (IL-21R) was strongly upregulated following FcR stimulation. The IL-21R was found to be upregulated on FcR-stimulated NK cells at the transcript level as determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Immunoblot analysis revealed that protein expression of the IL-21R peaked at 8 h post-stimulation of the FcR. Inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway downstream of the FcR blocked the induction of IL-21R expression. Increased expression of the IL-21R sensitized NK cells to IL-21 stimulation, as treatment of FcR-stimulated NK cells led to significantly increased phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3, as measured by intracellular flow cytometry and immunoblot analysis. Following FcR-stimulation, IL-21-activated NK cells were better able to mediate the lysis of trastuzumab-coated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) SK-BR-3 tumor cells as compared to control-treated cells. Likewise, IL-21-induced NK cell secretion of IFNγ following exposure to antibody-coated tumor cells was enhanced following FcR-stimulation. The analysis of NK cells from patients receiving trastuzumab therapy for HER2 cancer exhibited increased levels of the IL-21R following the administration of antibody suggesting that the presence of monoclonal antibody-coated tumor cells can stimulate the increased expression of IL-21R on NK cells.
