Abstract

[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the following embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] Blood samples from regular hospital blood collection tubes (purple-top tubes) were collected using centrifugal separation methods. Subsequent super-resolution imaging revealed many changes in the microtubule structure of platelets. However, such changes rarely occurred in platelets separated using gel columns. Analysis suggests that many platelets obtained using centrifugal separation were activated, while platelets obtained using gel columns were rarely activated. Comparing the two methods, further analysis revealed that plasma samples mixed with EDTA salt-type anticoagulants require a long period of static recovery after centrifugation. During this static recovery process, the anticoagulant concentration in the purple-top blood collection tubes is high and coexists with the platelets for a long time. Therefore, it is speculated that the activation of platelets may be caused by the long-term coexistence of the high-concentration anticoagulant with the platelets.
[0032] Compared with the centrifugal separation method, the number of platelets obtained by the gel separation method is too small, which is not convenient for the collection and statistics of subsequent imaging detection data. Therefore, when performing large-scale super-resolution imaging, detection and statistics, the centrifugal separation method is better. However, when centrifugal separation is used to process samples, the platelets to be tested are activated, resulting in a large difference between the test results and the physiological state of circulating platelets under physiological conditions. After further analysis of our experiments, we found that the activation of platelets is caused by high concentrations of anticoagulants.
[0033] Therefore, the present invention proposes adding a diluent to the platelet plasma obtained after centrifugation, and then performing static recovery and super-resolution imaging detection; experimental results have confirmed that the phenomenon of platelet activation is significantly reduced when the test sample obtained by this method is tested.
[0034] The present invention provides a platelet ultrastructure imaging detection sample processing reagent, which includes a diluent; the diluent includes a blood preservation solution and a benchtop solution, preferably the volume ratio of the blood preservation solution to the benchtop solution is 1:7-12. The diluent with this ratio can better protect platelets from activation; more preferably the diluent has a blood preservation solution to benchtop solution volume ratio of 1:9;
[0035] The benchtop solution comprises 7.5-8.5 g / L sodium chloride (NaCl), 0.18-0.25 g / L potassium chloride (KCl), 0.18-0.25 g / L magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O), 0.58-0.72 g / L sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate (NaH2PO4·2H2O), 0.90-1.15 g / L sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), 0.85-1.05 g / L glucose, and 2.15-2.50 g / L 4-hydroxyethylpiperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES). The solvent is water, and the pH is 7.0-7.5.
[0036] The blood preservation solution refers to citric acid-sodium citrate-dextrose (abbreviated as ACD solution), with a pH value between 4.5 and 5.5, such as blood preservation solution (I), blood preservation solution II, and blood preservation solution III.
[0037] In addition, the present invention also provides a use of the platelet ultrastructure imaging detection sample processing reagent according to the present invention in preparing platelet ultrastructure imaging detection samples.
[0038] The application comprises the following steps:
[0039] (1) Whole blood centrifugation to obtain platelet-rich plasma: Whole blood is collected using a blood collection tube (purple-top tube) and centrifuged to obtain platelet-rich plasma, in which the platelet-rich plasma is mixed with a high concentration of EDTA salt type anticoagulant, such as EDTA-K2 / EDTA-K3 anticoagulant;
[0040] (2) Platelet pre-protection treatment: diluting the platelet plasma obtained in step (1) with a diluent according to a preset ratio and allowing to stand for recovery; the preset ratio is preferably platelet plasma: diluent = 1:4-10; the platelet plasma obtained after whole blood centrifugation is first added with a diluent, diluted, and then allowed to stand for recovery, which is beneficial for protecting platelets from being activated by high concentrations of anticoagulants;
[0041] The diluents include blood preservation solution and benchtop solution. Experimental results show that using 100% blood preservation solution (ACD) or benchtop solution alone as the diluent does not significantly reduce platelet activation. This may be because the blood preservation solution contains a sterile aqueous solution of sodium citrate, citric acid, and glucose, with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. The acidic diluent easily causes platelet activation. Although benchtop solution has the functions of maintaining osmotic pressure, controlling acid-base balance, and supplying energy and inorganic salts necessary for cell metabolism and survival, when used alone as a diluent, platelets are activated and their microtubule structure shows significant diffusion. However, when both blood preservation solution and benchtop solution are used together, the diffusion of platelet microtubule structure is extremely small, indicating that their protective effect on platelets is significantly better than using either blood preservation solution or benchtop solution alone. The preferred volume ratio of blood preservation solution to benchtop solution is 1:7 to 12. The diluent with this ratio can better protect platelets from activation, providing the most realistic state for subsequent research on platelet ultrastructure.
[0042] (3) Platelet fixation: adding a fixative of the same volume as the diluent in step (2) to the platelets obtained in step (2) after being allowed to recover, fixing the platelets, and centrifuging to remove the supernatant and retain the platelet precipitate to obtain fixed platelets; resuspending the precipitate with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and centrifuging to remove the supernatant, and resuspending the fixed platelets with PBS solution to obtain a platelet suspension.
[0043] The fixative for platelet microtubule structure is a combination of paraformaldehyde (PFA) with glutaraldehyde (GA) and Triton X-100. This is because the platelet microtubule structure is a very sensitive and easily changeable structure. The structure imaged after fixation with paraformaldehyde (PFA) alone is prone to change. However, the combination of PFA with glutaraldehyde (GA) and Triton X-100 has less effect on the change of the microtubule structure. Preferably, the combination includes 5.5% to 6.6% paraformaldehyde (PFA), 0.05% to 0.15% glutaraldehyde (GA), and 0.1% to 0.2% Triton X-100 by volume. Under this ratio, the imaged microtubule structure after fixation is clearer and the microtubule structure is almost unaffected. Fixation with other commonly used fixatives can cause significant blurring of the microtubule structure.
[0044] (4) Preparation of test samples: Based on the platelet count of the sample, the platelet suspension in step (3) is taken and diluted. The diluted platelet solution is spread on a glass-bottomed culture dish and allowed to settle for more than 1 hour. The platelets are immunofluorescently stained to obtain the test sample for immunofluorescence staining.
[0045] When the above-mentioned test samples are used for platelet ultrastructure detection, super-resolution fluorescence imaging is used to detect the platelet ultrastructure; and information on changes in the platelet ultrastructure can be obtained by analyzing and statistically analyzing changes in the platelet ultrastructure morphology.
[0046] The present invention also provides a platelet ultrastructure imaging detection sample processing kit, which comprises the platelet ultrastructure imaging detection sample processing reagent of the present invention, and preferably also includes a fixative;
[0047] The fixative comprises 4% to 8% paraformaldehyde (PFA) by volume, and the solvent comprises PHEM buffer, wherein the pH of the PHEM buffer is 6.8 to 7.2; wherein the fixative for platelet microtubule structure further comprises glutaraldehyde (GA) and Triton X-100, preferably comprising 5.5% to 6.6% paraformaldehyde (PFA), 0.05% to 0.15% glutaraldehyde (GA) and 0.1% to 0.2% Triton X-100 by volume. Under these conditions, the imaging structure of the microtubules after fixation is clearer, while fixation with other commonly used fixatives will cause the microtubule structure to be significantly diffused; the fixative for the platelet microtubule structure more preferably comprises 6% paraformaldehyde (PFA), 0.1% glutaraldehyde (GA) and 0.6% Triton X-100 by volume, and the solvent comprises PHEM buffer solution.
[0048] The PHEM buffer preferably includes 17.5-18.5 g / L 1,4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid (PIPES), 4.8-7.2 g / L 4-hydroxyethylpiperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 2.2-3.6 g / L ethylene glycol-bis-(2-aminoethyl)tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 0.35-0.55 g / L magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2.6H2O), the solvent is water, and the pH is 6.8-7.2.
[0049] The kit more preferably further comprises a labeling reagent, which comprises a cell perforation solution, a blocking solution, a washing solution, a primary antibody dilution solution for labeling one or more combinations of platelet microtubules, dense granules, mitochondria, and α-granules, and a fluorescent secondary antibody dilution solution.
