TLDR
Data show that loss of Nfkb1 leads to early animal aging that is associated with reduced apoptosis and increased cellular senescence, and support the strong link between the NF-(B pathway and mammalian aging.Abstract:
NF-κB is a major regulator of age-dependent gene expression and the p50/NF-κB1 subunit is an integral modulator of NF-κB signaling. Here, we examined Nfkb1-/- mice to investigate the relationship between this subunit and aging. Although Nfkb1-/- mice appear similar to littermates at six months of age, by 12 months they have a higher incidence of several observable age-related phenotypes. In addition, aged Nfkb1-/- animals have increased kyphosis, decreased cortical bone, increased brain GFAP staining and a decrease in overall lifespan compared to Nfkb1+/+. In vitro, serially passaged primary Nfkb1-/- MEFs have more senescent cells than comparable Nfkb1+/+ MEFs. Also, Nfkb1-/- MEFs have greater amounts of phospho-H2AX foci and lower levels of spontaneous apoptosis than Nfkb1+/+, findings that are mirrored in the brains of Nfkb1-/- animals compared to Nfkb1+/+. Finally, in wildtype animals a substantial decrease in p50 DNA binding is seen in aged tissue compared to young. Together, these data show that loss of Nfkb1 leads to early animal aging that is associated with reduced apoptosis and increased cellular senescence. Moreover, loss of p50 DNA binding is a prominent feature of aged mice relative to young. These findings support the strong link between the NF-κB pathway and mammalian aging.read more

TL;DR: The CVID phenotype in these families is caused by NF-κB1 p50 haploinsufficiency, with a Dutch-Australian CVID-affected family identified a NFKB1 heterozygous splice-donor-site mutation, causing in-frame skipping of exon 8.

NFKB1: a suppressor of inflammation, ageing and cancer.
TL;DR: Recent results reveal that the nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B‐cells 1 (NFKB1) (p105/p50) subunit is an important regulator of NF‐κB activity in vivo, potentially revealing new strategies for targeting this pathway in inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Induction of transcriptional activity of AP-1 and NF-κb in the gastric mucosa during aging
TL;DR: The observation of increased activation of ERKs and JNK1 in the gastric mucosa of aged rats suggests a role for these MAPKs in regulating AP-1 and NF-kappaB transcriptional activity, which may be responsible for the age-related rise in Gastric mucosal proliferative activity.
