Quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed sex-specific NF-κB-p65 target gene expression after TNF-α-dependent neuroprotection upon oxidative stress-insult. (a) qPCR analysis revealed increased PKAcatα mRNA levels after H2O2 alone, TNF-α-pre-treatment prior to H2O2 and TNF-α alone compared to untreated control, with a stronger effect for TNF-α/H2O2 in male compared to female ITSC-derived neurons. (b) SOD2 mRNA levels significantly increased in female ITSC-derived neurons compared to control and compared to their male counterparts. (c) qPCR analysis showing c-IAP1 mRNA levels in male and female ITSC-derived neurons. (d) qPCR analysis showing c-IAP2 mRNA levels in male and female ITSC-derived neurons. (e) qPCR analysis showing significant increased IGF1 mRNA levels compared to control in male and female ITSC-derived neurons. (f) IGF2 mRNA levels were significantly elevated only in female-derived neurons compared to control. Non-parametric Mann Whitney test (*p ≤ 0.05), mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean, n = 3 males, n = 3 females). Nd: Not detectable. Ct values were normalized to reference genes β-actin and RPLP0 (Ribosomal Protein Lateral Stalk Subunit P0).
