The list of genes, which augment NK cell function when knocked out in neighboring cells is increasing, and may point to the fundamental function of NK cells targeting cells with diminished capability to differentiate optimally since NK cells are able to target less differentiated cells, and aid in their differentiation. In this paper, we aimed at understanding the effect of monocytes from targeted knockout of COX-2 in myeloid cells (Cox-2(flox/flox);LysM(cre/+)) and from control littermates (Cox-2(flox/flox);LysM(cre/+)) on ex vivo function of NK cells. Furthermore, we compared the effect of monocytes treated with and without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on NK cells from mice and humans. NK cells purified from Cox-2(flox/flox);LysM(cre/+) mice had heightened cytotoxic activity when compared to those obtained from control littermates. In addition, NK cells cultured with autologous Cox-2(flox/flox);LysM(cre/+) monocytes and DCs, mouse embryonic fibroblasts from global knockout COX-2, but not with knockout of COX-2 in T cells, had increased cytotoxic function as well as augmented IFN-gamma secretion when compared to NK cells from control littermates cultured with monocytes. LPS inhibited NK cell cytotoxicity while increasing IFN-gamma secretion when cultured in the presence of monocytes from either Cox-2(flox/flox);LysM(cre/+) or control littermates. In contrast to mice, NK cells from humans when cultured with monocytes lost cytotoxic function and gained ability to secrete largeamounts of IFN-gamma, a process, which we had previously coined as splitanergy. Similarto mice, LPS potentiated the loss of human NK cell cytotoxicity while increasing IFN-gamma secretion in the presence of monocytes. Greater loss of cytotoxicity and larger secretion of I FN-gamma in NK cells induced by gene knockout cells may be important for the greater need of these cells for differentiation.
