Airways display robust NF-
B activation and represent targets for anti-inflammatory asthma therapies, but the functional importance of NF-
B activation in airway epithelium remains enigmatic. Therefore, transgenic mice were created in which NF-
B activation is repressed specifically in airways (CC10-I
B
SR mice). In response to inhaled Ag, transgenic mice demonstrated significantly ameliorated inflammation, reduced levels of chemokines, T cell cytokines, mucus cell metaplasia, and circulating IgE compared with littermate controls. Despite these findings, Ag-driven airways hyperresponsiveness was not attenuated in CC10-I
B
SR mice. This study clearly demonstrates that airway epithelial NF-
B activation orchestrates Ag-induced inflammation and subsequent adaptive immune responses, but does not contribute to airways hyperresponsiveness, the cardinal feature that underlies asthma.
