Deskripsi
Here the authors studied pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) under laminar shear stress and show that this physiologic condition markedly changes chromatin accessibility at regulatory regions, when compared to cells grown in a static state. They find that KLF4 organizes chromatin by interacting with the SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeling complex to regulate vasculo-protective gene expression.
