TNIK drives endothelial cell response to viral infection through modulating interferon signaling
To evaluate the role of TNIK in ECs and in regulation of disturbed flow and laminar flow, we established  Human Aorta (HAECs) from two human donnors in which each target gene has been knocked down of TNIK by siRNA. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of two different HAECs witt/without knocking down of TNIK under disturb flow and laminar flow for 24 hours Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for HAECs cells (siControl) and its KD derivatives (siTNIK), between HAECs cells (siControl or siTNIK) under disturbed flow or laminar flow
