RNA seq of fluid shear stress treated mouse renal epithelial cells
Renal epithelial cells are exposed to mechanical forces due to flow-induced shear stress within the nephrons. We applied RNA sequencing to get a comprehensive overview of fluid-shear regulated genes and pathways in the immortalized renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line. Cells were exposed to laminar fluid shear stress (1.9 dyn/cm2) in a cone-plate device and compared to static controls.
