Objective The aims of this study were to construct short hairpin RNA(shRNA)lentiviral vector in breast cancer T47D cells,to carry out RNA interference on lysine acetyltransferase 6B(KAT6B/MORF)gene,to down-regulate its expression and to explore its function.Methods Two pairs of single-stranded short hairpin RNA(shRNA5 and shRNA8)and the corresponding control sequences(Scramble5 and Scramble8)were synthesized based on the CDS of KAT6B gene.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to amplify double-stranded and ligated with the entry vector(pENTR/pSM2(CMV)GFP),which were subjected to a doub-le digestion(EcoRl and Xhol)linearization and homologous recombination with the entry vector(pENTR/pSM2(CMV)GFP)to obtain an entry clone containing the desired fragment.The target fragment was recombined onto the target vector(pLenti x1 puro DEST)via the LR cloning reaction of the Gateway system.The lentiviral packaging plasmids were co-transfected into HEK-293T cells with two pairs of target plasmids. The supernatant of HEK -293T cells was collected and transformed into T47D cells. The expression of KAT6B protein was detected in T47D cells by Western blot.Results The single colony obtained from the transformation was identi-fied by sequencing,which was consistent with the target sequence,indicating that the lentiviral vector had been successfully construc-ted.The expression of KAT6B protein was significantly lower in the shRNA KAT6B group than that in the control group,which indica-ted that the constructed gene silencing vector could play a role in the KAT6B gene in T47D cells.Conclusion The shRNA lentiviral gene silencing vectors of KAT6B were constructed and identified in T47D cells,which indicated that the foundation for further study

Objective To investigate the impact of overweight on the prognosis of patients with acute mild ischemic stroke or moderate-high risk transient ischemic attack(TIA).Methods A total of 366 patients with acute mild ischemic stroke or moderate-high risk TIA who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles were included in the study.Baseline data were collected at admission,and clinical outcomes were collected within 3 months post-onset(primary outcomes:stroke recurrences within 3 months post-onset;secondary outcomes:composite outcome of stroke recurrence or death within 3 months post-onset,vascular events,and quality of life within 3 months).Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the cumulative incidence curve of outcomes.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards mod-el and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to evaluate the relationship between over-weight and clinical outcomes within 3 months post-onset in patientswith ischemic stroke or TIA.The integrated discrimination improvement index(IDI)and net reclassification improvement index(NRI)were calculated to assess the predictive value of adding body mass index(BMI,whether o-verweight or not)based on traditional models for predicting the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke or TIA.Results After 3 months of follow-up,28 patients had stroke recurrence,1 patient died,and 31 patients had vascular events.The Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve showed that the cu-mulative incidences of stroke recurrence,stroke recurrence or death,and vascular events after 3 months of onset were lower in overweight patients compared with non-overweight patients(Log-rank P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that compared with non-overweight patients,overweight pa-tients had significantly reduced risks of stroke recurrence within 3 months(HR=0.24;95%CI,0.08 to 0.71),composite outcome of stroke recurrence or death(HR=0.24;95%CI,0.08 to 0.69),and vascular events(HR=0.22;95%CI,0.07 to 0.63),and significantly improved qual-ity of life within 3 months(OR=0.39;95%CI,0.20 to 0.76).The IDI and NRI calculations showed that compared with traditional models,the new model adding BMI(whether overweight)had significantly improved predictive ability for the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke or TIA.Conclu-sion Overweight may be a protective factor for the prognosis of TIA patients with acute mild ische-mic stroke or moderate-high risk who carry CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles.Compared with non-o-verweight patients,overweight patients have reduced risks of stroke recurrence,composite outcome of stroke recurrence or death,and vascular events within 3 months post-onset,and improved quality of life within 3 months post-onset.
