Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of molecular biology, biomedicine and genetic engineering, and mainly relates to the construction of an RNA interference recombinant lentiviral vector (LV-sh-FDS) targeting the gene of Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FDS) and its Applications in cardiac hypertrophy and regulation of cholesterol metabolism. Background technique
[0002] Current research shows that small G protein is involved in the occurrence of cardiac hypertrophy. RhoA belongs to the superfamily of small G proteins, and has two forms: a GDP-bound inactive state and a GTP-bound active state. At present, many studies have shown that RhoA is involved in the occurrence of cardiac hypertrophy, such as angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Studies have found that overexpression of Rho-GDI (Rho-GDP separation inhibitor) and Rho inhibitor C3exeoezyme can significantly inhibit Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy.
