Low shear stress (LSS) plays a critical role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques and vascular inflammation. Previous studies have reported Akt phosphorylation induced by LSS. However, the mechanism and role of Akt activation remains unclear in LSS-induced endothelial dysfunction. In this study, our results demonstrated the increased phosphorylation of IKKε, TBK1 and Akt in HUVECs exposed to LSS. Furthermore, IKKε silencing using small interfering RNAs significantly reduced LSS-induced Akt phosphorylation. In contrast, silencing
