Fluid shear stress (FSS) is an important mechanical force that regulates endothelial and vascular functions in the blood and lymphatic vasculature. RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq), an emerging next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique, facilitates us to quantify the global gene expression levels and, thereby, provides us with a powerful tool to study the transcriptional reprograming in the cells. Here, we describe the RNA-Seq procedures and the subsequent bioinformatic analysis to understand the transcriptome regulation by FSS in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs).
流体切应力(FSS)是一种重要的机械力,调节血液和淋巴脉管系统中的内皮和血管功能。RNA 测序(RNA-Seq)是一种新兴的下一代测序(NGS)技术,使我们能够定量测量全局基因表达水平,并为我们提供了研究细胞中转录重编程的强大工具。在这里,我们描述了 RNA-Seq 程序和随后的生物信息学分析,以了解 FSS 对淋巴管内皮细胞(LECs)中转录组的调节。
