Nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-kappaB) inhibits apoptosis in sensory, hippocampal, and striatal neurons of the central nervous system. Although several apoptotic stimuli have been shown to activate NF-kappaB in oligodendrocytes, the function of NF-kappaB in this cell type remains unknown. In this study, we introduced plasmids expressing either the p50- or p65-subunit of human NF-kappaB into Central Glia-4 (CG-4) - a rat oligodendrocyte precursor cell line - and determined the influence of NF-kappaB function on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced apoptosis. Expression of NF-kappaB markedly prevented CG-4 apoptosis, with p50 being more effective than p65. This anti-apoptotic activity was repressed by IkappaB-alpha, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB. These results imply that NF-kappaB acts as a potent inhibitor of TNF-induced apoptosis in oligodendrocytes.
