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