I don't think I paid enough attention as I was basically stuck on prednisone for my arthritis and needing it or not for NK cells was pretty irrelevant. But, prednisone basically suppresses the immune system (it also works on inflammation). The NK cells (and my arthritis) are basically a result of an over-active immune system and the prednisone essentially squashes the immune response and lets things become a bit more normal.
Someone who paid more attention to the NK cell issue may have a better answer for you, though.
