Sex-specific response to oxidative stress insult and NF-κB-mediated neuroprotection in human NCSC-derived neurons. Female ITSC-derived neurons responded with a higher sensitivity to oxidative stress-induced neuronal death, and TNF-α-mediated neuroprotection compared to their male counterparts. TNF-α-mediated neuroprotection led to an increase in NF-κB-p65 nuclear translocation, triggering differential expression of sex-specific NF-κB target genes.
