| Abstract: | Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by NK cells is a key mechanism in anti-cancer therapies with monoclonal antibodies, including cetuximab (EGFR-targeting) and avelumab (PDL1-targeting). Fc gamma receptor IIIa (FcγRIIIa) polymorphisms impact ADCC, yet their clinical relevance in NK cell functionality remains debated. We developed two complementary flow cytometry assays: one to predict the FcγRIIIa-V158F polymorphism using a machine learning model, and a 15-color flow cytometry panel to assess antibody-induced NK cell functionality and cancer-immune cell interactions. Samples were collected from healthy donors and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients from the FIRE-6-Avelumab phase II study. The machine learning model accurately predicted the FcγRIIIa-V158F polymorphism in 94% of samples. FF homozygous patients showed diminished cetuximab-mediated ADCC compared to VF or VV carriers. In mCRC patients, NK cell dysfunctions were evident as impaired ADCC, decreased CD16 downregulation, and reduced CD137/CD107a induction. Elevated PD1()+ NK cell levels, reduced lysis of PDL1-expressing CRC cells and improved NK cell activation in combination with the PDL1-targeting avelumab indicate that the PD1-PDL1 axis contributes to impaired cetuximab-induced NK cell function. Together, these optimized assays effectively identify NK cell dysfunctions in mCRC patients and offer potential for broader application in evaluating NK cell functionality across cancers and therapeutic settings. |
