Activation of inflammatory gene expression by the transcription
factor NF-
B is a central pathway in many inflammatory disorders,
including colitis. Increased NF-
B activity has been linked with
development of colitis in humans and animal models, thus it was
unexpected when NF-
B-deficient mice developed spontaneous
typhlocolitis. To further characterize this finding, we induced
typhlocolitis in rederived NF-
B-deficient mice using intragastric
infection with Helicobacter hepaticus. At 6 wk
postinfection (PI), severe colitis with increased type 1 cytokine
expression was seen in infected mice that lacked the p50 subunit of
NF-
B and were also heterozygous for the p65 subunit of
NF-
B(p50-/-p65+/-). Mice lacking the p50
subunit alone (p50-/-) were less severely affected, and
wild-type mice and p65+/- mice were unaffected. T cell
development in NF-
B-deficient mice was normal. These data indicate
that p50 and p65 subunits of NF-
B have an unexpected role in
inhibiting the development of colitis.
