OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic basis of a consanguineous pedigree affected with hereditary coagulation factor XII (FXII) deficiency.
METHODS:
Following extraction of genomic DNA, all exons and flanking regions of F12 gene were subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. ClustalX-2.1-win and MutationTaster software was used to analyze the conservation and impact of the variants on protein function.
RESULTS:
DNA sequencing showed that the proband carried a homozygous g.6753-6755delACA deletion (p.252delAsn) in exon 9 of the F12 gene, for which her father, mother and brother were heterozygous carriers. The same deletion was not found in her sister.
CONCLUSION
The homozygous p.252delAsn deletion probably underlies the hereditary FXII deficiency in this pedigree.

Objective:
To optimize the existing methods of isolation and purification for exosomes from urine and explore the effects of different storage conditions on the content of exosomal RNA in urine.
Methods:
The exosomes in human urine samples were extracted by different precipitation method, i.e., precipitation following first concentrating and direct precipitation, respectively, and the separation efficiency and cost of the two methods were compared. ExoQuick-TCTM precipitation kit was used to extract exosomes. Nanoparticle tracking analysis technique (NTA) was used to detect the concentration and particle size distribution of exosome. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to detect the potential of exosome. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe morphology of exosomes. western blot was used to analyze the exosomal marker molecules CD63 and Alix. The extraction method of the precipitation following first concentrating was used to verify the reliability of the optimized method in 10 clinical urine samples . Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of exosomal RNA marker let-7c and PSA mRNA in the urinary exosomes from 20 patients with prostate cancer after repeated freeze-thaw (0 [i.e., fresh], 1 , 3 and 5 times) and 9 patients with prostate cancer frozen at -80 ℃ for different time (0 [i.e., fresh], 1, 2 and 4 weeks), and were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test for differences between the 2 groups.
Results:
The size distribution of exosomes extracted by the two methods was 30 to 150 nm by NTA, both of which were displayed as single peaks. The results of DLS showed that the potentials of exosome extracted by the two methods were negative values. The size of the exosomes extracted by the two methods was consistent observed under TEM namely the diameter distribution was 30 to 150 nm. western blot analysis confirmed that CD63 and Alix, the exosome labeling molecules, existed in the optimized method. The concentration of exosomes extracted from the 10 urine samples all reached 10 9 to 10 11 particles/mL. The contents of let-7c and PSA mRNA in exosomes decreased significantly after 5 freeze-thaw cycles, and the Z values were -1.79 and -1.73, respectively (P<0.05). The RNA content of the exosomes remained stable after freezing at -80 ℃ for 1 month.
Conclusion
The optimized exosome extraction method could reduce greatly the cost under the premises of ensuring the concentration and quality of exosomes. The isolated exosomes may keep stable RNA content after freezing at -80 ℃ for a short time, but could not be frozen and thawed repeatedly for more than 5 times.

Objective Establishment and development of a novel Single-Nucleotide-Polymorphism TaqMan Real-Time PCR assay for rapid detection of rs12979860 that predicts HCV therapy response.Methods Human genomic DNA were extracted from solid tissues,secretion and plasma before allelic discrimination.With the property of minor groove binding protein (MGB) binding to minor groove of DNA with strong specificity and affinity,primers and MGB probes were particularly designed for differentiation of human genomic frequencies.MGB probe-based real-time PCR was established to increase allelic discrimination using two probes that only differ in one nucleotide of IL28B rs12979860.The specificity was evaluated by fluorescence signal emissions which were selected from two signal channels.And DNA sequencing was used to confirm the genomic polymorphisms.Results TaqMan probe-based SNP real-time PCR increased allelic discrimination using two probes that only differ by one nucleotide of amplicon,which indicated this assay was easily performed regardless of genomic DNA concentration and quality,minimizes sources of error.The sensitivity was as low as 1.5 ng/μl,the amplification efficacy was 97.6%.The genotype frequencies of CC,CT were remarkably different between Caucasian and Mongolian.The dominated genotype of Caucasian was CT,while most Mongolian was carried CC (26/40 vs.40/50,x-2 =18.75,P value < 0.05).However,the genotype between two population showed no relationship with their virological clearance clinically (P value > 0.05).Conclusions This TaqMan MGB assay shows highly specificity,which has potential as a routine diagnostic test for the detection of rs12979860 from various types of samples.This robust assay would be widely used clinically to predict patients' response before anti-HCV treatment in personalized medicine.

ObjectiveTo screen out the two-component system associated with drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by detecting the differential expression of two-component system regulator genes between multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and drug sensitive strains. MethodsTotal RNA of MTB was extracted from cultured MTB during the logarithmic phase in the 7H9 brook medium, and then its purity was identified. Reverse transcription was further completed. The expressing levels of TCS response regulators were quantified using SYBR Green I qRT-PCR, which aimed at finding the differential expressions between multidrug resistant strains and sensitive strains. Finally, all of differentially expressed TCS were screened out under the stress of INH, SM and LFA. Results Compared with sensitive strains,multidrug resistant strains of Rv0491, Rv3133c, Rv3143 and Rv3246c were up-regulated 1. 03, 7.11,3.48and 1.37 folds, respectively (t/t' =5. 623, -4. 196, -3. 559 and -3. 016, respectively, P <0. 01 ). The expressing level of other regulators had no statistical significance between muhidrug resistant strains and drug sensitive strains. Under the antibiotic pressure, the expression of Rv1027c, Rv3246c and Rv3143 showed significant changes compared with no antibiotic group. ConclusionRv3246c and Rv3143 may be associated with MTB drug resistance and the differentially expressed genes in multi-drug resistant strains may be used as potential drug targets against drug resistant tuberculosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the phenotypes and the patterns of genetic mutations in the corresponding resistance genes (rpoB, katG, inhA, ahpC, rrs, rpsL, embB and gyrA) in resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates. Methods Rifampicin-resistant gene (rpoB), isoniazid-resistant genes (katG, inhA, ahpC), streptomycin-resistant genes (rrs, rpsL), ethambutol-resistant gene (embB) and quinolinone-resistant gene (gyrA) were amplified by PCR with sequence-specific primers, then mutants screened by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) were sequenced. Results rpoB mutation with predominant Ser450Trp pattern was 94. 9% (56/59) in 59 rifampicin-resistant isolates;katG mutation rate was 38. 9% (35/90) and the main pattern was Ser315Thr, but only 3 inhA mutants and no ahpC mutation were determined in 90 isoniazid-resistant isolates;gyrA mutation with main Asp94Gly then Ala90Val pattern was 82.4% (28/34) in 34 quinolinone-resistant isolates;the total mutation rate was 77.4% in 31 streptomycin-resistant isolates, of which 15 isolates mutated in rrs with main pattern A514C or A1041G, 10 isolates mutated in rpsL Lys88Arg;and embB mutation with main Met306Val accounted for 19.4% (6/31) in 31 ethambutol-resistant isolates. Conclusions The results showed that resistance of resistant MTB may be complicated, and DNA sequencing-based mutation analysis could efficiently detect the molecular makers such as rpoB, katG, gyrA, rrs, rpsL and embB in resistant MTB isolates. Meanwhile, it is notable that the rpoB mutation pattern in our isolates is different from previous report, further effort are needed to confirm the characteristics. The spectrum of potential resistance-related mutations in MTB clinical isolates may lay substantial foundation for the rapid molecular diagnosis and rational use of drug to MTB patients.
