摘要:Whereas NF-{kappa}B has potent antiapoptotic function in most cell types, it was reported that in pancreatic {beta} cells it serves a proapoptotic function and may contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune type 1 diabetes. To investigate the role of {beta} cell NF-{kappa}B in autoimmune diabetes, we produced transgenic mice expressing a nondegradable form of I{kappa}B in pancreatic {beta} cells (RIP-mI{kappa}B mice). {beta} cells of these mice were more susceptible to killing by TNF- plus IFN-{gamma} but more resistant to IL-1{beta} plus IFN-{gamma} than normal {beta} cells. Similar results were obtained with {beta} cells lacking I{kappa}B kinase {beta
