OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) in detecting the polymorphisms of HLA-DRB1, DQB1, DQA1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, DPA1 and DPB1 alleles in randomly-selected unrelated healthy individuals from Shenzhen Han population, investigate the potential reason for HLA-DRB1 allele dropout in routine NGS, and establish an internal quality control system. METHODS: NGS-based HLA class II genotyping was performed on 1 012 samples using the MiSeqDxTM platform. The suspected missed alleles indicated by the quality control software and HLA-DRB1 homozygotes were confirmed by PCR-SSOP or PCR-SBT methods. RESULTS: A total of 139 alleles were detected, including HLA-DRB1(45), DRB3(7), DRB4(5), DRB5(7), DQA1(17), DQB1(21), DPA1(10) and DPB1(27). HLA-DRB1*09:01(17.09%),15:01(10.72%); DRB3*02:02(25.99%),03:01(10.18%); DRB4*01:03(36.46%); DRB5*01:01(15.42%); DQA1*01:02(20.01%),03:02(17.19%); DQB1*03:01(19.47%),03:03(17.98%), 05:02(11.66%), 06:01(10.67%); DPA1*02:02(54.45%), 01:03(31.18%) and DPB1*05:01(39.13%), 02:01(16.90%) alleles were the most common alleles in Shenzhen Han population (frequencies >10%). There was no statistical difference between the gene frequencies of HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 loci in our study. The HLA Common and Well-Documented Alleles in China (CWD2.4) (χ2=12.68, P >0.05). 94 cases of HLA-DRB1 homozygous samples detected by NGS were retested by PCR-SSOP or SBT method, and one case of allele dropout at HLA-DRB1 locus was found. SBT method confirmed that the allele of DRB1*04:03 was missed. The laboratory internal quality control system was established. Two cases of new alleles were detected and named by WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. CONCLUSION: The HLA genotyping results based on NGS showed a significantly lower ambiguity rate. The HLA class II alleles exhibit genetic polymorphism in the Han population of unrelated healthy individuals in Shenzhen. The independent method based on NGS in clinical histocompatibility testing has limitations and requires internal quality control strategies to avoid allele-dropout events.

Anisotropic nanomaterials, such as gold nanorods (AuNRs), could be employed as an orientation platform due to their polarization-dependent surface plasmon resonance. However, a variety of factors would affect the dark-field light scattering imaging of anisotropic nanomaterials, resulting in an unstable signal, which is not advantageous to its further application. In this work, the localized surface plasmon resonance properties of a few AuNRs at different angles were excited by polarization with a conventional dark-field microscope, in which it was found that the ratio of AuNRs' light scattering intensity at different polarization angles (I) to that without a polarizer (I0) reflected the orientation information of AuNRs. Furthermore, the light scattering signal ratio between the parallel polarization (Ip) and that without a polarizer (I0) was closely related with the aspect ratio of AuNRs, which could not be affected by external conditions. To verify this concept, a highly sensitive and selective assay of the alkaline phosphatase activity in human serum was successfully developed based on the chemical etching of AuNRs, resulting in a lower aspect ratio and a lesser Ip/I0. This result holds great promise for polarization-dependent colorimetric nanomaterials and single-particle tracers in living cells.

Intraparticle ion motions are critical to the structure and properties of nanomaterials, but rarely disclosed. Herein, in situ visualization of ion motions in a single nanoparticle is presented by dark-field microscopy imaging, which shows HgCl2 -induced structural transformation of amorphous selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with the main composition of Se8 . Owing to the high binding affinity with selenium and coulomb interactions, Hg2+ ions can permeate into the interior of SeNPs, making the amorphous Se8 turn to polycrystalline Hg3 Se2 Cl2 . As a proof of concept, SeNPs then serve as a highly effective scavenger for selective removal of Hg2+ ions from solution. This new finding offers visual proof for the photophysical process involving intraparticle ion motion, demonstrating that tracking the ion motions is a novel strategy to comprehend the formation mechanism with the purpose of developing new nanostructures like nanoalloys and nano metal compounds.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Three cases of rare alleles of HLA-C with zero mismatched PCR-SBT results were analyzed by full-length sequencing to determine the true genotypes. METHODS: Three rare HLA-C alleles with zero mismatched PCR-SBT results were screened from clinical transplant matching samples, and the full-length sequence was detected by next-generation sequencing technology. RESULTS: The results of PCR-SBT typing of 3 samples were: HLA-C*03:04, 12:167; HLA-C*07:291, 15:02; HLA-C*01:43, 08:16. Other alleles were not in the CWD table of common and confirmed HLA alleles in China (version 2.3) except common allele HLA-C*03:04, HLA-C*15:02. NGS full-length sequencing revealed that the HLA-C genotypes of the three samples were a combination of common alleles and novel alleles, and the three novel alleles had a base mutation in exons 6, 2, and 4, respectively. The novel allele sequences have been submitted to the Genbank database (MK629722, MK335474, MK641803), which were officially named HLA-C*03:04:74, HLA-C*15:192, HLA-C*08:01:25 by the WHO HLA Nomenclature Committee. The HLA high-resolution typing results of 3 samples were: HLA-C*03:04:74, HLA-C*12:03; HLA-C*07:02, HLA-C*15:192; HLA-C*01:02, HLA-C*08:01:25. CONCLUSION: HLA typing results containing rare alleles should be treated cautiously, and the full-length sequence should be verified by NGS or cloning. The laboratory finally confirmed that the 3 cases of PCR-SBT zero mismatch HLA-C genotypes are the combination of common alleles and novel alleles by NGS sequencing, which provides an accurate basis for clinical transplantation matching and enriches the human HLA genetic database.

DNA logic computing has captured increasing interest due to its ability to assemble programmable DNA computing elements for disease diagnosis, gene regulation, and targeted therapy. In this work, we developed an aptamer-equipped high-integrated DNA biocomputing platform (HIDBP-A) with a dual-recognition function that enabled cancer cell targeting. Dual microRNAs were the input signals and can perform AND logic operations. Compared to the free DNA biocomputing platform (FDBP), the integration of all computing elements into the same DNA tetrahedron greatly improved logic computing speed and efficiency owing to the confinement effect reflected by the high local concentration of computing elements. As a proof of concept, the utilization of microRNA as the input signal was beneficial for improving the scalability and flexibility of the sequence design of the logic nano-platform. Given that the different microRNAs were over-expressed in cancer cells, this new HIDBP-A has great promise in accurate diagnosis and logic-controlled disease treatment.

The facile and noninjurious image of cells with high resolution and low toxicity is essential since imaging can offer rich and direct information and insights into metabolic activities, clinical diagnosis, drug delivery and cancer therapy. In this contribution, a smart imaging probe was employed as a contrast agent for dark-field cell imaging. Au core/Ag shell nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) that characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, formed Au@Ag@AgI NRs when exposed to iodine, which greatly enhanced the light scattering of nanorods. Herein, the silver shell acted as the response element for iodine as well as the protective agent for Au core. When conjugated with folate, the nanorods can be used to image human cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) under a dark-field microscope. Nanorods were demonstrated with excellent tumor cellular uptake ability without obvious cytotoxicity, making them ideal candidates in biosensing and bioimaging applications.
