摘要

Serotonin transporter (SERT, 5-HTT) is a key element in the serotonergic system which is probably involved in the psychiatric disorders commonly observed in people living with HIV/AIDS. However, no information is available about the effects of HIV infection on SERT expression. In this study, a TaqMan real-time RT-PCR method was established, levels of SERT mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and various tissues from normal Chinese rhesus macaques, in PBMCs from 32 SHIV-sf162p4 infected rhesus macaques and from 8 rhesus macaques before and 7, 14, 21, 28 and 196 days after SHIV-sf162p4 infection, and in PBMCs before and after in vitro phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation were examined. It was found that SERT mRNA was widely distributed in lymphoid tissues; the level of SERT mRNA was significantly reduced in PBMCs from SHIV infected rhesus macaques and in PBMCs stimulated with PHA. The most evident decrease (to about one-tenth) in SERT mRNA level was observed at day 7 after SHIV infection. Difference in PBMC SERT mRNA level between 5-HTTLPR genotypes was not statistically significant. These data indicated that, in addition to previously observed abnormality in serotonin metabolism, SERT expression might be affected in HIV/AIDS, which might be associated with depression and other psychiatric disorders in HIV/AIDS. Besides, this study provided a basis for quantitative analysis of SERT gene expression under effects of host and environmental factors, such as 5-HTTLPR genotypes, SERT targeting drugs or other infectious agents.
