Shear stress-induced long non-coding RNA, NIMBUSS, is required for the KLF2-mediated gene expression profile associated with vascular homeostasis I

ABSTRACT: The endothelial cell (EC) response to shear stress is partly mediated by the transcription factor KLF2, which is preferentially activated by laminar flow and promotes an atheroprotective phenotype. The up-regulation of KLF2 elicits anti-inflammmatory, anti-coagulant, and pro-vasodilatory processes. To investigate the function of the flow-induced long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NIMBUSS, we performed loss-of-function studies using siRNA for NIMBUSS in ECs overexpressing KLF2.
