Article Title: Abnormal shear stress induces ferroptosis in endothelial cells via KLF6 downregulation
doi: 10.1101/2025.09.10.675441
Figure Lengend Snippet: KLF6 regulates the UPR and mevalonate pathway. (A) Heat map of the identified TF genes downregulated by LSS; (B) Predicted KLF6-binding motifs in promoters of PERK, HSPA5, MVD, IDI1 (JASPAR database; matrix ID: MA0472.1); (C) Protein expression of KLF6 under different shear stress conditions; (D) Validation of KLF6 overexpression by Western blot (OE: overexpression, NC: negative control); (E, F) KLF6-OE largely restores the expression of PERK, BiP, MVD, and IDI1 under LSS and HSS to levels seen under MSS. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation from three or more independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using an unpaired t-test, with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001.
