摘要

Psychosis is associated with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. We reviewed evidence for a causal association between experimentally controlled antipsychotic drug exposure and a change in the expression of genes relevant to cardiovascular disease in human cell lines. Reports from SCOPUS - V.4 (Elsevier) and MEDLINE (ISI) were assessed for global or candidate gene expression analysis, tissue and cell type, tissue source or cell line, antipsychotic drug and dosage, length of drug exposure and statistically significant fold change ill gene expression after drug exposure; 29 eligible studies analysed gene expression in the brain, eye (as a model of neuronal cells), heart, kidney (as a model of any cell), liver, pancreas or skin. Antipsychotic drugs alter the expression of numerous genes related to cardiovascular health, including genes under the control of the sterol regulatory element binding protein transcription factors that control lipid and fatty acid biosynthesis.
