Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of chemometric analysis and detection, and in particular relates to an interchangeable active human insulin solution standard substance, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the "Terminology of Metrology (4th Edition)", "interchangeability" is an abbreviation of the term "interchangeability of standard (reference) materials" and is defined as "the characteristics of a reference material by the closeness of the relationship between the measurement results of a given amount of the material and the relationship between the results obtained using a measurement procedure applicable to the material and the measurement results of other specified materials". Interchangeability can be simply understood as: to what extent a certified reference material (CRM) simulates the characteristics of a typical set of fresh clinical samples for a specific measurement method and a specified measurement quantity. An interchangeable CRM (RM) exhibits similar behavior to routine samples when different measurement procedures are applied. For an interchangeable CRM / RM, the ratio of its measurement results must be the same as the ratio of fresh routine samples.
[0003] In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) play a crucial role in modern medicine. According to literature, 60-70% of medical decisions rely on IVD results. The accuracy of IVD results directly impacts the correct diagnosis and effective treatment of diseases. Interchangeability is crucial for ensuring the traceability of IVD results and is a prerequisite for effective calibration, trueness verification, and trueness-based proficiency testing. Renowned standardization expert Greg Miller has stated that interchangeability is central to the success of standardization and harmonization efforts throughout laboratory medicine.
[0004] To ensure the accuracy and comparability of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) results, establishing a traceability chain for IVD results has been proven both theoretically and practically to be an effective approach. The use of non-interchangeable reference materials for calibration disrupts the traceability chain, thus defeating the intended calibration and standardization objectives. Reflecting this in experimental data, the use of non-interchangeable reference materials to calibrate IVD systems can produce unintended biases, which are then propagated through the traceability chain to the final IVD results, resulting in inaccurate and non-comparable results. For example, calibrating an IVD system with a non-interchangeable cardiac troponin reference material still produces significant variability in results, defeating the purpose of standardization. Furthermore, because non-interchangeable reference materials can produce unintended biases when calibrating IVD systems, they cannot be used for trueness verification or trueness-based proficiency testing.
[0005] There are many reasons for non-interchangeability, including differences in the matrix, inconsistency between the measured value in the standard substance and the fresh clinical sample, inconsistency in the measured value at the microscopic level, etc. Therefore, in order to ensure that the developed standard substances are interchangeable, real human samples are usually used as standard material raw materials to develop matrix standard substances to ensure that the developed standard substances have the expected interchangeability. The international standard ISO 17511:2020 In vitro diagnostic medical devices—Requirements for establishing metrological traceability of values assigned to calibrators, trueness control materials and human samples stipulates 6 ways to establish the traceability of in vitro diagnostic results, among which the methods that can be fully traced back to SI units are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, reference materials at the M1 and M2 levels are purity reference materials and are generally not interchangeable. Therefore, the measurement value must be transferred to interchangeable matrix reference materials at the M3 level, and then further transferred to the manufacturer's master calibrator. Because the measurement value transfer procedure P4 used by manufacturers is often a routine measurement procedure, only interchangeable reference materials can be used for calibration of routine measurement procedures. For other traceability methods, interchangeability of reference materials at the M3 level is also required; otherwise, the measurement value traceability transfer chain will be broken.
[0006] However, the development and use of matrix reference materials are now difficult, especially protein-based in vitro diagnostic marker matrix reference materials. Protein-based in vitro diagnostic markers account for a significant proportion of in vitro diagnostics, and many major diseases such as tumor, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases are diagnosed by protein markers. The lack of protein-based in vitro diagnostic marker matrix reference materials with interchangeability has become a constraint factor for the standardization of protein-based in vitro diagnostic marker results. Since the raw materials of matrix reference materials are generally derived from real human samples, the raw materials are limited and difficult to obtain, especially low-value and high-value real human samples under abnormal pathological conditions. Adding the standard material may also lead to non-interchangeability, so the value level of the matrix reference material is often limited and cannot be used for calibration of the entire clinical reportable range. Protein-based in vitro diagnostic markers often exist in the form of protein complexes or aggregates in vivo, and pure proteins often exist in the form of monomers. Directly adding protein pure products to serum to attempt to change the value level may lead to non-interchangeability of the added standard material due to inconsistencies in the measured values. Proteins may have glycosylation structures, and inconsistencies in the microstate of glycosylation of the same protein in the standard material and the real clinical sample may lead to non-interchangeability. The preparation and preservation processes of the standard material such as freeze-drying may also cause the disaggregation of protein aggregates in serum, leading to the interchangeability of the standard material. C-reactive protein is a typical example. At the same time, even if isotope dilution mass spectrometry, a metrological reference method, is used to accurately quantify the protein in the matrix, significant differences are still found in international comparisons, which is difficult to meet the requirements of the total error of clinical practice. These unfavorable factors make it difficult to develop protein-based in vitro diagnostic marker matrix reference materials with interchangeability, and the number of such materials is very limited, making it difficult to meet the current needs of protein-based in vitro diagnostic result standardization.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to find a simple and easy way to develop low-cost, interchangeable, wide-range, and high-accuracy protein-based in vitro diagnostic marker standard materials to meet the requirements of in vitro diagnostic result standardization. SUMMARY

[0150] Example 1
[0151] The preparation steps of the active human insulin solution standard material with interchangeability provided by the application are as follows:
[0152] I. Purification of human insulin
[0153] The human insulin sequence described in the application has a protein sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 2:
[0154] SEQ ID No. 1: GIVEQCCTSICSLYQLENYCN
[0155] SEQ ID No. 2: FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTPKT
[0156] The cross-linking of disulfide bonds between the sequences of SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 2, and within the sequences is as shown in Figure 2
[0157] The raw material is a commercially available human insulin biochemical reagent from Sigm-Aldrich Company, which has a HPLC purity of 97.5%. Due to the low purity, it cannot be directly used for the development of standard materials. In order to obtain a high-purity human insulin standard material candidate, the commercially available human insulin is further purified by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography and molecular sieve. The purification conditions used are as follows:
[0158] Mobile phase A: 0.2 mol / L sodium sulfate buffer: acetonitrile (82:18)
[0159] Mobile phase B: acetonitrile: water (50:50)
[0160] The flow phase gradient is shown in Table 1.

[0163] Chromatographic column: Vydac C8, 250 mm × 4.6 mm
[0164] Detection wavelength: 220nm
[0165] Flow rate: 1 mL / min
[0166] Column temperature: 40°C
[0167] Injection volume: 100 μL
[0168] The above chromatographic conditions effectively separate human insulin from A21-desaminated human insulin, and the human insulin chromatographic peak is collected to complete purification. The collected human insulin fraction is further purified using molecular sieves using PBS and water as the mobile phase, respectively. The peak elution time is monitored by absorbance at 280 nm to separate insulin aggregates from monomeric insulin. The specific separation conditions are as follows:
[0169] Injection volume: 100 μL
[0170] Chromatographic column: TSKGel 2000SWxl gel exclusion chromatography column
[0171] Gradient: Isocratic elution

[0173] Analysis time: 35 minutes
[0174] Detection wavelength: 280nm
[0175] Sample concentration: 1.0 mg / mL
[0176] Mobile phase: 1× PBS and water
[0177] The fractions within the monomeric insulin peak period were collected and freeze-dried (cold trap temperature -70°C, vacuum degree 1 Pa, freeze-drying for 48 hours) to obtain high-purity human insulin raw material.
[0178] 2. Self-assembly of human insulin
[0179] The purified high-purity human insulin raw material was dissolved in a 1×PBS solution containing zinc acetate. The insulin concentration was 0.02 mg / mL and the molar ratio of insulin to zinc ions in the solution was 6:60. The solution was placed in a 4°C refrigerator for self-assembly for 24 hours.
[0180] 3. Confirmation of the structure of insulin self-assembly complex
[0181] The self-assembled complex of insulin prepared in step 2 in the presence of zinc ions was subjected to circular dichroism and mass spectrometry scanning analysis, wherein the circular dichroism scanning path length was 1 cm, the scanning wavelength range was 200-400 nm, and the scanning speed was 50 nm / min. The mass spectrometer was scanned according to the default conditions. At the same time, the circular dichroism spectrum and mass spectrometry spectrum of the human insulin solution of the same concentration prepared in PBS without zinc ions were scanned for comparison. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.
[0182] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that when there is no Zn in the solution 2+ When the solution contains Zn 2 + When the concentration gradually increased, the circular dichroism spectrum of the insulin solution changed, the peak intensity decreased and became flat. These changes indicate that the concentration of Zn 2+ Insulin forms aggregates under the action of Figure 5 It can be seen that as the proportion of zinc ions in the solution increases, the peak of the spectrum gradually shifts to the right, proving that the scanning mass of the compound is also increasing, indicating that in the presence of Zn 2+ Insulin aggregates were formed in the presence of

[0541] 10. Interchangeability Evaluation of Active Human Insulin Solution Reference Material
[0542] 39 single serum samples covering the concentration range of the active human insulin solution standard substance prepared in step six were collected. These samples were centrifuged within 24 hours after blood collection and stored in a -70°C refrigerator. Together with the active human insulin solution standard substances of various levels prepared in step six, the insulin concentrations of clinical samples and standard substances were measured on 6 common domestic and foreign chemiluminescence immunoassay systems. These test systems include Siemens, Beckman, Roche, Abbott, Mindray and Antu. Each sample was measured twice in parallel. The results were averaged and evaluated according to the CLSI EP14 standard. The results are as follows: Figure 16 shown.
[0543] Depend on Figure 16 It can be seen that the three insulin solution standard substances prepared from active insulin (the figure also shows the active human insulin solution standard substance not described in detail in this example) are all within the 95% prediction interval determined by the patient sample results, indicating that the insulin solution standard substances at these three levels have good interchangeability.
[0544] In summary, the insulin solution standard material after regulation using the method of the present application has interchangeability between commonly used luminescent immunoassay systems and can be used for the calibration of these conventional chemiluminescent immunoassay systems. Therefore, there is no need to develop complex matrix standard materials to ensure interchangeability, thereby reducing the development cost of interchangeable protein standard materials, and at the same time, a wide range of calibration standard materials can be easily prepared according to the requirements of the calibration range, so that interchangeable standard materials are no longer restricted by the limited number of sources of abnormal value serum matrix raw materials. At the same time, since the solution standard material replaces the previous matrix standard material, the traceability transmission chain of ISO 17511:2020 is shortened, which helps to reduce the measurement uncertainty of the measurement value transmission terminal. The uncertainty of the interchangeable active human insulin solution standard material determined by the method of the present application is much smaller than the current uncertainty level of human insulin in complex matrices such as serum by isotope dilution mass spectrometry, and can meet the requirements of the total error of current human insulin clinical test items, thereby providing a new idea for the development of interchangeable standard materials and contributing to the standardization of protein in vitro diagnostic results.
