Constitutive Nuclear Factor-kappa B Activity Is Required for Central Neuron Survival

The function of nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B within the developing and mature CNS is controversial. We have generated transgenic mice to reveal NF-kappa B transcriptional activity in vivo. As expected, constitutive NF-kappa B activity was observed within immune organs, and tumor necrosis factor-inducible NF-kappa B activity was present in mesenchymal cells. Intriguingly, NF-kappa B activity was also prominent in the CNS throughout development, especially within neocortex, olfactory bulbs, amygdala, and hippocampus. NF-kappa B in the CNS was restricted to neurons and blocked by overexpression of dominant-negative NF-kappa B-inducible kinase or the Ikappa Balpha M super repressor. Blocking endogenous neuronal NF-kappa B activity in cortical neurons using recombinant adenovirus induced neuronal death, whereas induction of NF-kappa B activity increased levels of anti-apoptotic proteins and was strongly neuroprotective. Together, these data demonstrate a physiological role for NF-kappa B in maintaining survival of central neurons.

Key words: transgenic mouse; adenovirus; NF-kappa B; NIK; RelA; TRAF; apoptosis
