Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nano-biosensing, and in particular to the application of guar gum, fluorescence-enhanced gold nanoclusters and alpha-glucosidase detection and enzyme inhibitor screening methods. Background Art

[0002] Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar, which can cause persistent damage to the eyes, kidneys, heart and blood vessels. Diabetes can be divided into type I diabetes, type II diabetes and gestational diabetes. Type II diabetes is related to insufficient insulin secretion or resistance, accounting for more than 90% of current diabetic patients, affecting about 463 million people worldwide. α-Glucosidase (α-Glu) is a carbohydrate hydrolase that promotes the conversion of oligosaccharides and disaccharides in the small intestine into glucose. Excessive α-Glu can lead to hyperglycemia. In recent years, studies have found that α-Glu inhibitors can effectively reduce α-Glu activity, thereby effectively inhibiting the increase in blood sugar levels. At present, α-Glu has become an important enzyme target for the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes, and α-Glu inhibitors such as acarbose have become a few oral drugs for the treatment of type II diabetes. Therefore, α-Glu activity detection and α-Glu inhibitor screening, especially the screening of cheap α-Glu inhibitors with few side effects from natural products, are of great significance for the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes.

[0003] The classic method for α-Glu activity detection and α-Glu inhibitor screening is the p-nitrophenol pyranoglucoside colorimetric method, which has the disadvantages of low sensitivity and large interference. New methods for α-Glu activity determination include high performance liquid chromatography, surface plasmon resonance, electrochemical method, and fluorescence method. Among them, the fluorescence method based on nanoprobes (such as semiconductor quantum dots, carbon quantum dots or copper nanoclusters) has attracted much attention due to its high sensitivity and rapid detection characteristics. However, such methods often have problems such as complex preparation of fluorescent probes, narrow measurement range, poor stability, easy oxidation, and susceptibility to interference. Therefore, the development of more efficient α-Glu fluorescence detection and α-Glu inhibitor screening methods remains a huge challenge.

[0004] Gold nanoclusters are a new type of fluorescent nanomaterial, which is usually less than 3nm in size and consists of several to hundreds of gold atoms (or gold ions) and protective ligands. Gold nanoclusters have the characteristics of simple preparation, good biocompatibility, good stability, and good water solubility. They have broad application prospects in the fields of fluorescence sensing, bioimaging, drug delivery, and disease treatment. However, compared with classical fluorescent dyes and semiconductor quantum dots, the fluorescence quantum yield and fluorescence intensity of gold nanoclusters are generally low, which limits the application range of gold nanoclusters. At present, methods such as metal doping, aggregation-induced fluorescence enhancement, and matrix coating have been used to improve the fluorescence properties of gold nanoclusters. However, these methods often require the use of large amounts of organic solvents, heavy metal ions, etc., which pollute the environment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an application of guar gum, a fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster, and a method for detecting α-Glu and screening an α-Glu inhibitor.

[0073] 0.50 mL of a newly prepared 20 μmol / L aqueous solution of tetrachloroauric acid, 0.15 mL of a 100 μmol / L aqueous solution of glutathione (GSH), and 4.35 mL of ultrapure water were mixed at room temperature (25°C), and the resulting mixture was heated to 70°C at a stirring rate of 500 rpm, and the mixture was kept warm for 12 hours. The color of the reaction system gradually changed from light yellow to bright yellow to obtain a gold nanocluster dispersion, in which the gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs) used glutathione as a protective ligand, and the concentration of the gold nanoclusters in the gold nanocluster dispersion was 0.6 mg / mL.

[0074] The preparation of guar gum dispersions with different concentrations and pH values ​​comprises the following steps:

[0075] Weigh 0, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 700 mg, 800 mg, 900 mg, and 1000 mg of guar gum powder (GG, purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.), mix with 100 mL of a 10 mM Tris buffer solution at room temperature, and stir evenly to obtain a guar gum dispersion having a pH of 8.0 and a guar gum concentration of 0, 0.1 wt.%, 0.2 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, 0.4 wt.%, 0.5 wt.%, 0.6 wt.%, 0.7 wt.%, 0.8 wt.%, 0.9 wt.%, and 1.0 wt.%;

[0076] Weigh 6 parts of guar gum powder with a mass of 600 mg, mix it with 100 mL of Tris buffer solution with a concentration of 50 mM and pH values ​​of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 at room temperature, and stir evenly to obtain a guar gum dispersion with a guar gum concentration of 0.6 wt.% and pH values ​​of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0, respectively.

[0077] The gold nanocluster dispersion and guar gum dispersion used in the following examples are from this example and will not be specifically described later.

[0078] Example 2 Preparation of fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster dispersion

[0079] 50 μL of gold nanocluster dispersion was mixed with 500 μL of guar gum dispersion of different concentrations or pH values, respectively, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 min. The fluorescence spectrum of the resulting guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion was measured, and the fluorescence emission intensity at 610 nm was recorded and compared with the fluorescence emission intensity of the gold nanocluster dispersion.

[0080] Figure 1 The fluorescence spectra of the gold nanocluster dispersion and the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion (the pH of the guar gum dispersion used is 8.0, and the concentration is 0.6wt.%), where a is the fluorescence spectrum of the gold nanocluster dispersion and b is the fluorescence spectrum of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion. The results show that the addition of guar gum can significantly enhance the fluorescence emission intensity of the gold nanocluster.

[0081] Figure 2 The figure shows the effect of different concentrations of guar gum dispersion on the fluorescence emission intensity of gold nanoclusters, where I0 is the fluorescence intensity of the gold nanocluster dispersion at 610nm, and I is the fluorescence intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion at 610nm. The results show that when the concentration of guar gum dispersion is in the range of 0.1-0.6wt.%, the fluorescence intensity of gold nanoclusters can be enhanced. The best fluorescence enhancement effect is the guar gum dispersion with a concentration of 0.6wt.%. At this time, the fluorescence intensity of gold nanoclusters is increased by nearly 4 times, and the fluorescence quantum yield is increased from 0.96% to 2%. After that, the fluorescence enhancement effect of gold nanoclusters is slightly weakened by further increasing the guar gum concentration.

[0082] Figure 3 The figure shows the effect of guar gum dispersions with different pH values ​​on the fluorescence emission intensity of gold nanoclusters, where I0 is the fluorescence intensity of the gold nanocluster dispersion at 610nm, and I is the fluorescence intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion at 610nm. The results show that when the pH value of the guar gum dispersion is in the range of 4.0 to 9.0, guar gum can increase the fluorescence emission intensity of gold nanoclusters, and the most suitable pH value of the guar gum dispersion is 8.0.

[0083] In summary, the preferred method for preparing the fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster dispersion is: mix 50 μL of gold nanocluster dispersion with 500 μL of guar gum dispersion (pH=8.0, concentration of 0.6 wt.%), let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and obtain the fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster dispersion.

[0084] Example 3 Fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ Preparation of mixed dispersion

[0085] 10 μL of Fe at different concentrations was added to 550 μL of the fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster dispersion prepared in Example 2. 3+ The solution (solute is FeCl3·6H2O, solvent is 0.1M hydrochloric acid) was incubated at room temperature for 10 min to obtain guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ Mixed dispersion; the guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ Fe in mixed dispersion 3+ The concentrations were 0.36μM, 1.1μM, 1.6μM, 3.6μM, 10μM, 14μM, 18μM, 36μM, 54μM, 72μM, and 90μM, respectively.

[0086] Fe 3+ The fluorescence of gold nanoclusters is quenched by dynamic quenching. Figure 4 For different concentrations of Fe 3+ The fluorescence emission intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion was affected by the fluorescence emission intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion, where I0 is the fluorescence intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion at 610 nm, and I is the fluorescence intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ The fluorescence intensity of the mixed dispersion at 610 nm. Figure 4 It can be seen that the emission intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster mixed dispersion increases with the Fe 3+ concentration gradually decreased and 3+ The plateau phase was reached when the concentration was 18 μM.

[0087] In summary, the preferred fluorescence enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ The preparation method of the mixed dispersion is as follows: 50 μL of the gold nanocluster dispersion and 500 μL of guar gum dispersion (pH=8.0, concentration of 0.6 wt.%) were mixed, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 10 min at room temperature. 10 μL of 1 mM Fe 3+ The solution (solute is FeCl3·6H2O, solvent is 0.1M hydrochloric acid) was incubated at room temperature for 10 min to obtain fluorescence enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ The dispersion was mixed.

[0088] Example 4 α-Glu activity detection method

[0089] 100 μL of α-Glu aqueous solution of different concentrations, 150 μL of 10 mM α-Glu aqueous solution and 200 μL of phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH = 7.0) were mixed and allowed to stand at 37°C for 40 min for the first incubation. The first incubation solution was mixed with 560 μL of fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe prepared in Example 3. 3+ Mixed dispersion (ie, guar gum-gold nanoclusters-Fe 3+ The mixed dispersion) was mixed and allowed to stand for 10 min at room temperature for the second incubation. The obtained guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ -α-Glu mixed dispersion (i.e., the second incubation solution) was measured, and the fluorescence intensity at 610 nm was recorded; the guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ The concentration of α-Glu in the mixed dispersion was 2×10 -4 U / mL, 2×10 -3 U / mL, 0.1U / mL, 0.25U / mL, 1U / mL, 2U / mL, 3U / mL, 4U / mL and 5U / mL.

[0090] At the same time, a blank sample was prepared by mixing 250 μL of water with 200 μL of phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH = 7.0), and standing at 37°C for 40 min. The resulting solution was then mixed with 560 μL of fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe prepared in Example 3. 3+ The mixed dispersions were mixed and allowed to stand for 10 min at room temperature to obtain a blank sample.

[0091] In the presence of α-Glu and its substrate AAG, α-Glu catalyzes the hydrolysis of AAG to produce ascorbic acid, which can partially restore the amount of ascorbic acid lost by Fe 3+ The fluorescence emission of the gold nanoclusters was quenched, so the α-Glu activity could be detected based on the fluorescence method. Figure 5 Guar gum-gold nanoclusters-Fe 3+ - Fluorescence spectrum of α-Glu mixed dispersion, Figure 6 The working curve for detecting α-Glu activity (I0 is the fluorescence intensity of the blank sample at 610 nm, I is the fluorescence intensity of the guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ -α-Glu mixed dispersion at 610nm). Figure 6 It can be seen that guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+-The fluorescence intensity of the α-Glu mixed dispersion increases with the increase of α-Glu activity. The detection range of α-Glu activity is 2 to 4000U / L, and the detection limit is 0.13U / L. The classical method for detecting α-Glu activity is the p-nitrophenol pyranoglucoside colorimetric method, which has a detection limit of 2.5 to 50U / L and a linear range of 1U / L. Compared with the classical method, the method provided by the present invention has a wider detection range and a lower detection limit, and the method provided by the present invention avoids the modification of the fluorescent probe and the use of a large amount of organic reagents.

[0092] Example 5 Selectivity Verification of α-Glu Activity Detection Method

[0093] In order to verify the selectivity of the α-Glu activity detection method, this example tested the effects of various interfering substances that may exist in biological samples on the detection system, including amino acids (Ala, Arg, Gly, His, Lys, Ser and Cys), cations (Na + , K + , Ca 2+ and Fe 2+ ), anions (Cl - 、NO3 - 、SO4 2- and PO4 3- ), proteins (BSA, HSA, ACP and pap), glucose (Glu), fructose (Fru), sucrose (Suc) and cholesterol (Chol).

[0094] 450 μL of the first incubation solution prepared in Example 4 and 560 μL of the fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe prepared in Example 3 were added. 3+ The mixed dispersions were mixed, and then 10 μL of the aqueous dispersions of the various interfering substances mentioned above were added, and the concentration of various interfering substances in the obtained mixed solution was 10 mmol / L; the mixed solution was incubated at room temperature for 10 min, the fluorescence spectrum of the obtained incubation solution was measured, and the fluorescence intensity at 610 nm was recorded.

[0095] At the same time, a blank sample was prepared by mixing 450 μL of the first incubation solution prepared in Example 4 with 560 μL of the fluorescence-enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe prepared in Example 3. 3+ The mixed dispersions were mixed, 10 μL of water was added, and the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 min to obtain a blank sample.

[0096] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The blank sample and guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe under the conditions of different interferences 3+- α-Glu mixed dispersion at 610nm fluorescence intensity. It can be seen from the figure that each interfering substance has no obvious interference effect on the fluorescence detection of α-Glu by the fluorescence enhanced gold nanoclusters described in the present invention, indicating that the method of the present invention has excellent selectivity.

[0097] Example 6 Screening of α-Glu Inhibitors

[0098] Acarbose is a common α-Glu inhibitor and one of the few oral drugs that can be used to treat type II diabetes. This example uses acarbose as an example to study the application of the method of the present invention in the screening of α-Glu inhibitors. The specific steps are as follows:

[0099] 100 μL of α-Glu (10 U / mL) aqueous solution, 150 μL of AAG (10 mM) aqueous solution, 200 μL of phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH = 7.0) and 20 μL of α-Glu inhibitor (acarbose) of different concentrations were mixed and allowed to stand at 37°C for 40 min for the third incubation; the obtained third incubation solution was mixed with 560 μL of fluorescence enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe prepared in Example 3. 3+ Mixed dispersion (ie, guar gum-gold nanoclusters-Fe 3+ The mixed dispersion) was mixed and allowed to stand for 10 min at room temperature for the fourth incubation. The obtained guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ -α-Glu-acarbose mixed dispersion (i.e., the fourth incubation solution) was measured, and the fluorescence intensity at 610 nm was recorded; the guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ The concentrations of acarbose in the -α-Glu-acarbose mixed dispersion were 20 μM, 50 μM, 80 μM, 120 μM, 180 μM and 200 μM, respectively.

[0100] According to the fluorescence intensity of the fourth incubation solution under different concentrations of acarbose, the inhibition efficiency of acarbose was calculated according to formula B:

[0101] Inhibition efficiency = [I AuNCs+α-Glu –I AuNCs+α-Glu+阿卡波糖 ] / [I AuNCs+α-Glu –I AuNCs ] Formula B;

[0102] In formula B, I AuNCs+α-Glu Guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ +fluorescence intensity of α-Glu mixed dispersion;

[0103] I AuNCs+α-Glu+阿卡波糖 represents the fluorescence intensity of the fourth incubation solution;

[0104] I AuNCsGuar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ Fluorescence intensity of the mixed dispersion.

[0105] Fig. 9 This is a calibration curve for screening α-Glu inhibitors (acarbose). As shown in the figure, acarbose can inhibit the activity of α-Glu. As the concentration of acarbose increases, the fluorescence intensity of the system gradually decreases.

[0106] Depend on Fig. 9 It can be seen that the IC of acarbose 50 (The concentration of the inhibitor to be tested required to inhibit 50% of α-Glu activity) is 87.3 μM, which is consistent with the existing literature (Li, C.; et al. Anal. Bioanal. Chem. 2021, 413 (9): 2553-2563). This shows that the method provided by the present invention can be effectively used for the screening of acarbose.

[0107] Example 7 Screening of α-Glu Inhibitors from Plant Extracts

[0108] Quercetin, rutin and hesperidin (commercially available products) are plant extract α-Glu inhibitors, and the method provided by the present invention can be used for screening plant extract α-Glu inhibitors. This example first takes quercetin as an example to study the application of the method of the present invention in screening plant extract α-Glu inhibitors, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0109] 100 μL of α-Glu (10 U / mL) aqueous solution, 150 μL of AAG (10 mM) aqueous solution, 200 μL of phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH = 7.0) and 20 μL of α-Glu inhibitor (quercetin) of different concentrations were mixed and allowed to stand at 37°C for 40 min for the third incubation; the obtained third incubation solution was mixed with 560 μL of fluorescence enhanced gold nanocluster-Fe prepared in Example 3. 3+ Mixed dispersion (ie, guar gum-gold nanoclusters-Fe 3+ The mixed dispersion) was mixed and allowed to stand for 10 min at room temperature for the fourth incubation. The obtained guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ -α-Glu-quercetin mixed dispersion (i.e., the fourth incubation solution) was measured for fluorescence spectrum, and the fluorescence intensity at 610 nm was recorded; the guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ The quercetin concentrations in the -α-Glu-quercetin mixed dispersion were 6 μM, 8 μM, 10 μM, 15 μM, 20 μM, 30 μM, 40 μM, 50 μM, 60 μM and 70 μM, respectively.

[0110] According to the fluorescence intensity of the fourth incubation solution under different concentrations of quercetin, the inhibition efficiency of quercetin was calculated according to Formula C:

[0111] Inhibition efficiency = [I AuNCs+α-Glu –I AuNCs+α-Glu+槲皮素 ] / [I AuNCs+α-Glu –I AuNCs ] Formula C;

[0112] In formula C, I AuNCs+α-Glu Guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ -Fluorescence intensity of α-Glu mixed dispersion;

[0113] I AuNCs+α-Glu+槲皮素 represents the fluorescence intensity of the fourth incubation solution;

[0114] I AuNCs Guar gum-gold nanocluster-Fe 3+ Fluorescence intensity of the mixed dispersion.

[0115] Fig.10 This is a calibration curve for screening α-Glu inhibitors (quercetin). As shown in the figure, quercetin can inhibit the activity of α-Glu. As the concentration of quercetin increases, the fluorescence intensity of the system gradually decreases.

[0116] Depend on Fig.10 It can be seen that the IC of quercetin 50 The concentration of quercetin was 33.4 μM, which is consistent with the existing literature (Liu, D.; et al. 2020. Colloids Surf., B). This shows that the method provided by the present invention can be effectively used for the screening of quercetin.

[0117] According to the above method, the inhibition efficiency of rutin and hesperidin was calculated and the calibration curve was drawn. Figures 11-12 As shown, according to Figures 11-12 It can be seen that the IC values ​​of rutin and hesperidin are 50 They are 56.43 μM and 101.2 μM respectively. These results are consistent with those reported in the literature (Liu, D.; et al. 2020. Colloids Surf., B), further proving the reliability of the method of the present invention.

[0118] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
