Abstract:
Objective To construct SLC6A4-shRNA lentiviral vector, establish PC12 cells stable transformation cell line, and detect the effect of SLC6A4 gene silencing on hypoxia induced PC12 cells apoptosis. Methods Three specific targets sequence of SLC6A4 were designed and short hairpin RNA was synthesized, and then were recombined into shRNA expression vector GV248 plasmid, with non-homology shRNA sequence as negative control. The connection products were switched to competent cells. After dentification and sequencing, the vectors were co-transfected with the auxiliary vectors into 293T cells in order to produce recombinant shRNA lentiviral particles. Then, PC12 cells were infected with the recombinant lentiviral and screened by puromycin. The PC12 cells were divided into two groups: lentiviral negative control group (NC-shRNA) and SLC6A4-silenced group (SLC6A4-shRNA). The expression of SLC6A4 mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative and the 5-HTT protein level was assayed by Western blot, The effect of SLC6A4 gene silencing on hypoxia induced apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results The SLC6A4-shRNA lentiviral expression vector was constructed and the recombinant lentiviral particles by packaging the 293T cells were obtained, the stably infected PC12 cells were established after filtering. Compared with negative control group, the expression level of SLC6A4 gene and 5-HTT protein in SLC6A4-shRNA group was suppressed notably (P<0.01). It was confirmed that lentiviral vector could effectively silence SLC6A4 gene in PC12 cells and SLC6A4 gene silencing could decrease apoptosis rate of PC12 cells under hypoxia condition. Conclusion The SLC6A4 gene of PC12 cells could be effectively silenced by shRNA lentivirus vector, which could reverse hypoxia induced apoptosis.

Abstract:
Atorvastatin is a blood lipid-lowering drug widely used clinically. Long-term use can prevent and reduce the occurrence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the efficacy of atorvastatin has significant inter-individual differences. Some individuals failed to achieve the expected lipid-lowering target value or had serious adverse reactions, which were related to the genetic diversity between individuals. Genetic variation can lead to differences in drug configuration, clinical efficacy and adverse reactions. The drug metabolism enzymes, drug transporters, drug targets and genetic polymorphisms related to lipid metabolism were reviewed in this paper that affect the drug response of atorvastatin, and from the gene level to explore the reasons for the differences in the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and susceptibility to adverse reactions of different individuals using atorvastatin.
