Molecular studies in model organisms have identified potent longevity genes which can delay the aging process and extend the lifespan. Longevity factors promote stress resistance and cellular survival. It seems that the aging process itself is not genetically programmed but a random process involving the loss of molecular fidelity and subsequent accumulation of waste products. This age-related increase in cellular entropy is compatible with the disposable soma theory of aging. A large array of host defence systems has been linked to the NF-kappa B system which is an ancient signaling pathway specialized to host defence, e.g. functioning in immune system. Emerging evidence demonstrates that the NF-kappa B system is activated during aging. Oxidative stress and DNA damage increase with aging and elicit a sustained activation of the NF-kappa B system which has negative consequences, e.g. chronic inflammatory response, increase in apoptotic resistance, decline in autophagic cleansing, and tissue atrophy, i.e. processes that enhance the aging process. We will discuss the role of NF-kappa B system in the pro-aging signaling and will emphasize that several longevity factors seem to be inhibitors of NF-kappa B signaling and in that way they can suppress the NF-kappa B-driven entropic host defence catastrophe.
