Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To establish a PC12 cell line with stable expression of human apolipoprotein E( ApoE4) gene by transfection with a lentiviral vector carrying human ApoE4 gene and to investigate the effect of maltol aluminum on the viability of transfected PC12 cells. METHODS: The lentiviral vector carrying human ApoE4 gene was transfected into PC12 cells. PC12 cells with overexpression of ApoE4 gene and negative control vector were obtained after puromycin screening.The mRNA relative expression of R-Apo E and( or) H-Apo E-FLAG of cells in PC12,PC12-NC and PC12-ApoE4 groups were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction,and the effect of cell construction was identified. PC12-ApoE4 cells and PC12 cells were exposed to maltol aluminum solution at concentrations of 0. 00,100. 00,200. 00 and 400. 00 μmol/L respectively for 24 hours,and cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8( CCK-8)assay. RESULTS: PC12-ApoE4 and PC12-NC cells under the fluorescence microscope showed fluorescence expression,suggesting that transfection was successful. The expression of PC12 cells showed no fluorescence. The relative expression of H-Apo E-FLAG gene mRNA( the median amount) of PC12-ApoE4 cells was 148. 74,which was higher than the R-Apo E gene in PC12 cells( 1. 00) and PC12-NC cells( 1. 01)( P < 0. 01). After exposure to maltol aluminum,the cell survival rates in terms of the main effect and interaction effect of dose and cell type were statistically significant( P < 0. 01),among them,the cell viabilities were decreased in the concentration range of 0. 00-400. 00 μmol/L with the dose of maltol aluminum exposure increased,showing dose-effect relationship( P < 0. 01). CONCLUSION: The cell line stably expressed human ApoE4 gene was constructed successfully. There was interaction between the effects of maltol aluminum and ApoE4 gene on the survival rate of PC12 cells,and ApoE4 gene could enhance the cytotoxicity of maltol aluminum on PC12 cells.
