Whereas NF-B has potent antiapoptotic function in most cell types, it was reported that in pancreatic β cells it serves a proapoptotic function and may contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune type 1 diabetes. To investigate the role of β cell NF-B in autoimmune diabetes, we produced transgenic mice expressing a nondegradable form of IB in pancreatic β cells (RIP-mIB mice). β cells of these mice were more susceptible to killing by TNF- plus IFN- but more resistant to IL-1β plus IFN- than normal β cells. Similar results were obtained with β cells lacking IB kinase β, a protein kinase required for NF-B activation. Inhibition of β cell NF-B accelerated the development of autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice but had no effect on glucose tolerance or serum insulin in C57BL/6 mice, precluding a nonphysiological effect of transgene expression. Development of diabetes after transfer of diabetogenic CD4+ T cells was accelerated in RIP-mIB/nonobese diabetic mice and was abrogated by anti-TNF therapy. These results suggest that under conditions that resemble autoimmune type 1 diabetes, the dominant effect of NF-B is prevention of TNF-induced apoptosis. This differs from the proapoptotic function of NF-B in IL-1β-stimulated β cells.
