Molecular Basis of ABO Variants Including Identification of 16 Novel ABO Subgroup Alleles in Chinese Han Population.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:The characteristic of ABO blood subgroup is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of such variant phenotypes and offering useful information in blood transfusion. Methods:In total, 211 ABO variants including part of available family members were investigated in this study. The phenotypes of these individuals were typed with serologic methods. The full coding regions of ABO gene and the erythroid cell-specific regulatory elements in intron 1 of them were amplified with polymerase chain reaction and then directly sequenced. The novel alleles were confirmed by cloning and sequencing. Phylogenetic tree was made using CLUSTAL W software. 3D structural analyses of the glycosyltransferases (GTs) with some typical mutations were performed by PyMOL software. Results:Forty-eight distinctly rare ABO alleles were identified in 211 Chinese variant individuals, including 16 novel ABO alleles. All of the alleles were categorized as 5 groups: 16 ABO*A alleles, 23 ABO*B alleles, 4 ABO*BA alleles, 4 ABO*cisAB alleles, and 1 ABO*O alleles. ABO*A2.08 and ABO*BA.02 were the relatively predominant A and B subgroup alleles, respectively. According to the phylogenetic tree, 28 alleles (5 common alleles and 23 alleles identified in our laboratory) were classified into 3 major allelic lineages. The structural analysis of 3D homology modeling predicted reduced protein stability of the mutant GTs and may explain the reduced ABO antigen expression. Conclusions:The molecular basis of ABO variants was analyzed, and 16 novel ABO alleles were identified. The results extended the information of ABO variants and provided a basis for better transfusion strategies and helped to improve blood transfusion safety.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease related to immune, whose complexity of molecular mechanisms is still not fully clear. RNA sequencing has been widely applied in various fields including biological medicine. According to the bioinformatics analysis of differential genes, biomarkers and drug targets have been discovered for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Besides, the pathological mechanisms of disease and functions of gene can be evaluated. In the present study, we report the application of RNA sequencing in skin tissues from psoriatic and healthy persons. By obtaining 2139 differential expressed genes (DEGs), 208 significantly differential GO terms and 44 significantly differential pathways were generated. We found that the functions of DEGs were mainly related to cell cycle, inflammatory, virus, immune response and metabolic process.The major pathways included cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, cell cycle, metabolic pathways, ribosome, peroxisome, steroid biosynthesis and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, co-expression network was constructed to identify core genes and relations between genes. we considered genes with high values of degree and k-core difference in the co-expression network as core genes, such as IFNG, IL26, TLR3, PRKCQ, TLR4, CD274, CDK1 and IL17A. We chose CD274, an important immune checkpoint, to evaluate its regulatory mechanisms. Candidate genes related to CD274 were evaluated by the co-expression network analysis, and the relations between CD274 and candidate genes were validated in epidermal keratinocytes. Finally, IFNG and CDK1 inhibitor (indirubin) were found increasing the expression levels of CD274. In addition, indirubin was confirmed to attenuate mouse psoriasis-like skin lesion with the mechanisms related to CD274. In conclusion, this study provides us a comprehensive transcriptome analysis method on psoriasis to identify core genes and explore the important regulatory functions of genes.
