From: Transcriptome analysis reveals fluid shear stress (FSS) and atherosclerosis pathway as a candidate molecular mechanism of short-term low salinity stress tolerance in abalone

A Heat map showing the expression pattern of some genes involved in the FSS pathway in abalone. B Hypothesized model of the FSS pathway in abalone showing crosstalk between some genes (adapted from Kanehisa and Goto [30]). Hypothetically, up-regulation of all the genes under stable hemolymph flow (on the left) should lead to gill ECs anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, while up-regulation of all the genes under disturbed hemolymph flow (on the right) should lead to gill ECs inflammation and apoptosis. Oval shapes denote genes that were validated by qRT-PCR: Red color denotes genes that were up-regulated in expression relative to the control. Blue color denotes genes that were down-regulated in expression relative to the control. Grey-colored rectangular boxes denote genes that were not expressed in the current study
