Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical detection, and relates to a system and method for detecting corneal pathogens. Background Art
[0002] Keratitis is an eye disease usually caused by bacterial, viral, fungal or other microbial infections, and its main feature is the inflammation and damage of corneal tissue.
[0003] The typical symptoms of keratitis are ocular irritation symptoms, which can affect vision and cause pain, burning sensation, tearing, etc. When severe, it will develop into suppurative keratitis, presenting eyelid swelling, purulent discharge, etc. Therefore, early diagnosis of keratitis is crucial for preventing vision damage. Currently, the detection methods of keratitis usually include corneal scraping microscopy, fungal culture, etc. Corneal scraping microscopy requires scraping the patient's cornea during sampling, which will cause discomfort to the patient's eyes and may also damage corneal tissue. Fungal culture relies on laboratory culture or PCR amplification technology, and the detection cycle is as long as several hours or days, affecting the treatment of keratitis. At the same time, PCR amplification detection has the problem of missed detection of low-concentration pathogens, resulting in misdiagnosis or delayed treatment.
[0004] In recent years, microneedle technology has attracted much attention in the biomedical field due to its non-invasive sampling characteristics. However, existing microneedle materials have problems of low adsorption efficiency and insufficient biocompatibility, and cannot effectively complete the sampling and related detection of corneal pathogenic bacteria. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a system and method for detecting corneal pathogens to solve the problems of low detection efficiency and low sensitivity of existing detection systems and methods.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present application provides a system for detecting corneal pathogens, which includes composite hydrogel microneedles and a microfluidic chip. The preparation raw materials of the composite hydrogel microneedles include MXene dispersion, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and silk fibroin composite hydrogel. The microfluidic chip includes a sample loading channel, a LAMP reaction chamber and a fluorescence / colorimetric detection module that are connected in communication. Among them, after the composite hydrogel microneedles adsorb corneal pathogenic bacteria, they are added to the microfluidic chip through the sample loading channel.
[0007] In this application, the MXene dispersion is formed by mixing MXene, 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate (abbreviation: [EMIM][BF4]), and 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (abbreviation: [BMIM]Cl). MXene is a two-dimensional inorganic compound, and its adsorption ability can be enhanced through the modification of ionic liquids [EMIM][BF4] and [BMIM]Cl. As a result, the composite hydrogel microneedles can adsorb pathogenic bacteria on the cornea and enhance the adsorption efficiency.
[0008] Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) is mainly formed by polymerizing the monomer N-isopropylacrylamide and is used in controlled release, biochemical separation, chemical sensors, etc. In this application, the preparation method of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) includes: S01: Dissolve the N-isopropylacrylamide monomer in deionized water to prepare an N-isopropylacrylamide monomer solution with a mass fraction of 20%. S02: Add the crosslinking agent N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide and the initiator ammonium persulfate to the N-isopropylacrylamide monomer solution. After mixing evenly, purge with nitrogen or argon to reduce the influence of oxygen in the solution on the polymerization reaction. Among them, the addition amount of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide is 0.1 - 5% of the mass of the N-isopropylacrylamide monomer, and the addition amount of ammonium persulfate is 0.01 - 1% of the mass of the N-isopropylacrylamide monomer. S03: Polymerize the above-treated mixture at 25 - 70 °C for 3 h, and monitor the progress of the polymerization reaction by observing the viscosity change of the solution or using methods such as gel permeation chromatography. S04: When the polymerization reaction reaches the expected degree, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) is obtained.
[0009] The silk fibroin in the silk fibroin composite hydrogel has good biocompatibility. After being compounded with the MXene dispersion and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), it can accurately extract pathogens on the corneal surface and achieve non-invasive sampling.
[0010] More preferably, the raw materials for preparing the composite hydrogel microneedles include 10 - 20% of the MXene dispersion, 45 - 55% of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), and 30 - 40% of the silk fibroin composite hydrogel by mass fraction. Most preferably, the raw materials for preparing the composite hydrogel microneedles include 15% of the MXene dispersion, 50% of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), and 35% of the silk fibroin composite hydrogel by mass fraction.
[0011] In this application, the preparation method of the composite hydrogel microneedles includes: after uniformly mixing the MXene dispersion, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and silk fibroin composite hydrogel, injecting it into a PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) microneedle mold, and curing it in ultraviolet light with an intensity of 25 mW / cm 2 for 2 min, and then demolding to obtain the composite hydrogel microneedles. The tip height of the prepared composite hydrogel microneedles is 500 - 800 μm, and the bottom diameter is 200 - 300 μm.
[0012] By testing the mechanical strength, swelling ratio, cytotoxicity, etc. of the composite hydrogel microneedles respectively, it is determined that the compressive strength of the composite hydrogel microneedles is greater than 0.1 N / needle, the swelling ratio in physiological saline is greater than 150%, and the cell survival rate is greater than 80%.
[0013] The microfluidic chip includes a sample loading channel, a LAMP reaction chamber, and a fluorescence / colorimetric detection module that are connected and communicate with each other. In this application, the size of the microfluidic chip is 25 * 75 mm, the height of the sample loading channel is 100 μm, the channel width is 200 μm, the length of the main channel is 50 mm, and the length of the branch channel is 10 mm; the volume of the LAMP reaction chamber is 1 μm, and the number is 8; the shape of the LAMP reaction chamber is a diameter of 1 mm and a depth of 100 μm; the diameter of the sampling hole at the sample loading channel is 1 mm and the depth is 100 μm.
[0014] In addition, this application provides a method for detecting corneal pathogens, which includes: S01: Using the composite hydrogel microneedles to adsorb the pathogens on the corneal surface, and obtaining pathogen DNA / RNA after lysis and purification.
[0015] Press the composite hydrogel microneedles on the corneal surface at a pressure of 0.1 N / cm 2 for 10 - 15 min, so that the pathogenic bacteria on the corneal surface are adsorbed on the composite hydrogel microneedles. After the pressing is completed, take out the microneedles and wash them 3 times with a sterile PBS (phosphate buffered saline) buffer solution to remove the unadsorbed pathogens, and obtain the composite hydrogel microneedles with corneal pathogen cells on the surface. The adsorption rate of the composite hydrogel microneedles to corneal pathogen cells is greater than 90%.
[0016] The composite hydrogel microneedles adsorbed with corneal pathogens are immersed in a lysis buffer and incubated at 37 - 55 °C for 30 min. During the incubation process, vortex oscillation is performed 3 times, 10 s each time. After the incubation, centrifugation is carried out at 12,000 rpm for 10 min to obtain the supernatant. The supernatant is eluted and purified using a Qiagen DNeasy or RNeasy kit to ensure that the A260 / A280 ratio is 1.8 - 2.0, and the purified pathogen DNA / RNA is obtained. Among them, the lysis buffer can be a buffer formed by 0.5% SDS (English name: Sodium dodecyl sulfate; Chinese name: Sodium dodecyl sulfate), 50 μg / mL proteinase K, and Tris-HCl with a pH of 8.0 and a concentration of 10 mM, or it can be a buffer with a pH of 7.5 formed by 1% Triton X-100 and 1 mM EDTA, or it can also be a buffer formed by 0.5% SDS and 50 μg / mL lysozyme, which can be determined according to the actual pathogens to be detected.
[0017] S02: The purified pathogen DNA / RNA is added to the LAMP reaction chamber of the microfluidic chip through the sample loading channel and subjected to constant-temperature LAMP amplification at 60 - 65 °C for 30 - 40 min to obtain the amplification product.
[0018] The purified pathogen DNA / RNA is automatically aspirated into the LAMP reaction chamber of the microfluidic chip through the sample loading channel with capillary force. The LAMP reaction chamber includes 0.5 - 0.8 μM pre-loaded primers, 1×Bst DNA polymerase, 0.2 - 1.4 mM dNTPs, and a dye. Among them, according to the different corneal pathogens, the specific types of pre-loaded primers are different, and the selection of the dye is different, which needs to be determined according to actual needs. After the pathogen DNA / RNA is added to the LAMP reaction chamber, it is subjected to constant-temperature LAMP amplification at 60 - 65 °C for 30 - 40 min to obtain the amplification product.
[0019] S03: After the amplification product is detected by fluorescence and / or colorimetry, the detection result is obtained.
[0020] After the amplification product is detected by fluorescence and / or colorimetry, the result is analyzed in real time through the fluorescence signal or color change to obtain the detection result.
[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) MXene modified by ionic liquids [EMIM][BF4] and [BMIM]Cl can enhance its adsorption capacity, enabling the composite hydrogel microneedles to adsorb pathogenic bacteria on the cornea, enhancing the adsorption efficiency, with the bacterial adsorption efficiency reaching 92.3±2.7%, the fungal adsorption efficiency reaching 85.4±3.8%, and the viral adsorption efficiency reaching 88.6±3.5%, achieving high adsorption efficiency, and the standard deviation <4%, with strong data repeatability.
[0022] (2) The silk fibroin in the silk fibroin composite hydrogel has good biocompatibility. After being compounded with the MXene dispersion and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), it can accurately extract pathogens on the corneal surface and achieve non-invasive sampling.
[0023] (3) The combined use of a microfluidic chip and LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) technology can accurately identify the nucleic acid sequence of the target pathogen. It is only necessary to judge the detected pathogen based on the detected fluorescence signal or color change. At the same time, it can quickly complete the detection of the pathogen within 1h, and the detection sensitivity reaches 10^1-10^2 CFU / mL, achieving high-sensitivity, rapid and non-invasive detection, and is suitable for the early diagnosis of keratitis.
