Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heterojunction material preparation technology, specifically to MOF-derived heterojunctions, their preparation methods, and their applications in metabolic detection. Background Technology

[0002] Laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) has shown great potential in metabolomics analysis due to its high throughput, high sensitivity, and ease of operation. The performance of this technique critically depends on the matrix material used. Inorganic nanomaterials, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), have become ideal candidates to replace traditional organic matrices due to their high stability, low background interference, and strong ultraviolet absorption. However, existing TiO2 nanomatrices still have significant technical shortcomings and limitations in LDI MS applications: ① High charge recombination rate: As a semiconductor material, TiO2's photogenerated electron-hole pairs recombine very easily and rapidly, which severely limits its photoinduced charge transfer efficiency and final ionization efficiency when used as a matrix, resulting in weak metabolite detection signals.

[0003] ②Low photothermal conversion efficiency: The photothermal effect of TiO2 material itself is weak, which is not conducive to the effective thermal desorption of analytes under laser irradiation, further reducing the detection sensitivity.

[0004] ③ Poor resistance to biological matrix interference: Serum and other complex biological samples contain high concentrations of salt and protein, which can severely inhibit the ionization process of analytes and produce matrix effects. Conventional TiO2 matrices lack effective resistance to this interference and are difficult to use directly for high-throughput detection of clinical serum samples.

[0005] Therefore, developing an LDI MS nanomatrix that can simultaneously possess efficient charge separation, strong photothermal effect, and excellent salt / protein resistance is crucial for promoting the application of metabolomics in clinical precision diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0055] (2) Detection of standard metabolites: A mixed standard solution containing serine (Ser), phenylalanine (Phe), tryptophan (Trp), valine (Val), lysine (Lys), and lactose (Lac) was prepared (each substance concentration was 5 mM). 1 μL of matrix suspension was mixed with 1 μL of standard solution on a mass spectrometry target plate and dried. Data were acquired using a Bruker UltrafleXtreme MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer (355 nm Nd:YAG laser) in positive ion reflectance mode.

[0056] (3) Salt tolerance and protein tolerance test: The above standard metabolite mixture was dissolved in 1 M NaCl solution and 5 mg / mL bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution, respectively. After mixing with each matrix suspension at a 1:1 volume ratio, the mixture was then tested on the target.

[0057] (4) Photocurrent response test: The transient photocurrent response of CoTi and other control matrices under periodic illumination was tested on a CHI760E electrochemical workstation with a 500 W xenon lamp as the light source.

[0059] Figure 4 The image shows the signal stability of the CoTi matrix and other control matrices in detecting metabolite standards under high salt (1 M NaCl) and high protein (5 mg / mL BSA) conditions. Figure 4 This demonstrates that CoTi possesses strong salt resistance and resistance to protein interference, making it effective for serum metabolite detection.

[0060] Example 7: Application of CoTi matrix in laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) for detecting serum metabolic fingerprints Serum sample pretreatment and mass spectrometry data acquisition Clinical serum samples were collected from collaborating hospitals, including healthy controls (HC) and samples from patients with clinically diagnosed bronchial asthma (BA), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD), and lung cancer (LCa). The collection and use of all samples were approved by the relevant ethics committees. Samples were stored at -80°C.

[0061] Pretreatment procedure: Take 100 μL of thawed serum sample, add 300 μL of pre-cooled acetonitrile, and vortex for 3 minutes to fully precipitate proteins. Then centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C. Take 200 μL of supernatant for subsequent mass spectrometry analysis.

[0062] Mass spectrometry data acquisition: The treated serum supernatant was mixed with the CoTi matrix suspension (5 mg / mL) prepared in Example 1 at a volume ratio of 1:1. After vortexing, 1 μL of the mixture was spotted onto a MALDI target plate and dried at room temperature to form a uniform spot. Data acquisition was performed using a Bruker UltrafleXtreme MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. The parameters were set as follows: positive ion reflectance mode, mass scan range mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) 50-1000, laser frequency 1000 Hz, laser energy 70%, laser focus size set to "small". 1000 laser scans were accumulated at randomly selected locations on each spot. Three technically replicate spots were prepared and acquired independently for each serum sample to obtain a serum metabolic fingerprint, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0063] Example 8: Application of CoTi matrix in constructing disease diagnostic models Based on Example 7, machine learning model construction and diagnostic performance verification were performed.

[0064] (1) Data preprocessing and feature extraction: All samples (including HC, BA, COPD, ILD, LCa) were randomly divided into a training set (80%) and an independent validation set (20%). Peak identification of the raw mass spectrometry data was performed using Bruker FlexAnalysis software (signal-to-noise ratio S / N>3). The mass spectrometry peaks of all samples in the training set were aligned to form a peak list containing all possible m / z features. Subsequently, peak area extraction and total ion current (TIC) normalization were performed on the mass spectrometry data of all samples to finally obtain a data matrix with rows of samples and columns representing the m / z feature peak intensities.

[0065] (2) Full-spectrum model construction: The preprocessed training set data matrix was imported into the Python data mining platform. Four algorithms were used to construct a five-class classification model: neural network (NN, with 100 hidden neurons), support vector machine (SVM, radial basis function kernel), K-nearest neighbor (KNN, k=5), and Naive Bayes (NB). The five-class classification model was optimized on the training set using 10-fold cross-validation.

[0066] (3) Construction and Validation of Diagnostic Feature Panel: To improve the clinical applicability of the model, features were selected from the training set data. The selection criteria were: in 10-fold cross-validation, the frequency of the feature being selected into the model was greater than 70%, and the p-value of the one-way ANOVA was less than 0.05. Finally, 23 key mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) features were selected (as shown in Table 1) to form the diagnostic feature panel. Based on these 23 features, the NN model was retrained to obtain a simplified model.

[0067] Table 1 shows the 23 key m / z features selected. Figure 6 The image shows a t-SNE dimensionality reduction visualization of five groups of samples (HC, BA, COPD, ILD, LCa) based on a diagnostic feature panel, which shows obvious inter-group separation.

[0068] Figure 7 The image shows the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of a neural network (NN) model performing five-class classification based on a diagnostic feature panel on the training set and independent validation sets. Figure 7 As can be seen, the simplified model has an AUC of 0.950 in the five-class classification on the training set and maintains excellent performance in the independent validation set with an AUC of 0.956, achieving an overall accuracy of 89.7%. This indicates that the diagnostic feature panel can fully represent the metabolic differences among the five classes of samples and has strong diagnostic discriminative power.
