Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the biological field, and in particular to a staining solution for exfoliated cells and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Folate receptors are less expressed or not expressed in normal cells, but highly expressed on the surface of some diseased cells. Folate receptor-mediated special staining is a new and more convenient detection method that has developed rapidly in recent years. In this method, the main components of the staining solution are folic acid derivatives, reduced methylene blue, etc. Due to the mediation of folic acid receptors, methylene blue has a high affinity for tumor cells and melanin, and its redox property makes methylene blue show different color changes in the redox state of tumor tissue. The reaction principle is: if there is a high degree of folic acid expression on the surface of epithelial tissue exfoliated cells, the folic acid in the staining solution will quickly enter the cell cytoplasm through the folic acid receptors on the cell surface, and the reduced methylene blue will also enter the cell cytoplasm. Folic acid is reduced to tetrahydrofolate and participates in the metabolism of one-carbon units. Tumor cells are in a strong oxidative stress environment, and the reduced methylene blue is oxidized by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) widely present in the cells to become blue oxidized methylene blue. Due to the entry of many biological molecules, the osmotic pressure in the cells increases, causing the oxidized methylene blue to escape from the cells, which can appear blue on the staining solution. The appearance of blue staining indicates that the expression of folate receptors on the surface of the sample cells is increased, the reactive oxygen pressure in the cells is increased, and the ferritin content is high, indicating that the exfoliated cells may have abnormal lesions and need further testing.

[0003] Based on the principle of this color change method, many related special staining solutions are currently available on the market. The special staining solutions available on the market are all acidic solutions. It is generally recognized in the art that under acidic conditions, the staining solution is more likely to bind to the folate receptors on the surface of cancer cells, thereby entering the cancer cells; and under the oxidative stress environment of tumor cells, the reduced colorless methylene blue will be converted into a blue or blue-black oxidized state, thereby achieving the diagnosis of cancer cells. The methylene blue aqueous solution is an alkaline solution. In the prior art, an acidic solution is added when preparing the staining solution. + Acid-base neutralization reaction will occur at high concentrations. When the dyeing liquid mixture is acidic and air is present, the dyeing liquid will be oxidized faster, resulting in poor dyeing effect and short reagent storage time. Therefore, the acidic dyeing liquid in the prior art has the following disadvantages: (1) the dyeing liquid is easily oxidized and discolored during storage, thereby affecting the accuracy of the test results; (2) the dyeing liquid is unstable, has a short storage period, and has poor storage stability; (3) the dyeing effect of the dyeing liquid is not ideal, and the dyeing results are inaccurate. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem of adding acidic solution to the staining solution in the prior art, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a staining solution for exfoliated cells. The staining solution in the present invention is alkaline, and the methylene blue (oxidized state) and reducing agent (reducing sugar and ascorbic acid, etc.) in the staining solution are converted into methylene white (reduced state) under alkaline conditions. The staining solution is not easily oxidized, has a good staining effect, and the reagent has a long shelf life and is more stable.

[0097] Performance Test:

[0098] (1) Dyeing efficiency test

[0099] The dyeing solutions prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 were respectively taken, and the dyeing efficiency of each dyeing solution was tested. The specific testing method is as follows:

[0100] First, use a cotton swab to dip into the staining liquid in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 respectively, and then dip into the exfoliated cells, and observe and record the color change of the cotton swab. This is different from the detection method in the prior art. The detection method in the prior art is: it is necessary to dip into the staining liquid first, apply the staining liquid to the position to be tested, and then take a sample. In this method, the staining liquid is in contact with the air for a long time, and the air will affect the stability and accuracy of the test results. In the detection method of the present invention, the staining liquid is in contact with the air for a shorter time, the accuracy of the test results is higher, and the staining liquid will not directly contact the human body, and the detection process is safer. Among them, the test method for staining efficiency is: take 4 portions of each staining liquid, dip the staining liquid with a cotton swab, let it stand in the air, use a stopwatch to record the color change time of the staining liquid, and take the average value. The specific test results are shown in Figures 1 to 4 ,in, Figure 1 This is a picture of the exfoliated cells dipped in the staining solution in Example 3 and reacted for 0 seconds; Figure 2 This is a color image of exfoliated cells dipped in the staining solution in Example 3 and reacted for 35 seconds; Figure 3 This is a picture of the reaction of 0s with the staining solution in Comparative Example 1 to dip the exfoliated cells; Figure 4 The color development diagram is a 65s reaction of exfoliated cells dipped in the staining solution in Comparative Example 1. The results measured according to the above test method are shown in Table 1.

[0101] Table 1 Dyeing efficiency test results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1

[0102] staining solution Average color change time How to use Example 1 42.3s Dip in staining solution before sampling Example 2 41.7s Dip in staining solution before sampling Example 3 40.2s Dip in staining solution before sampling Example 4 40.3s Dip in staining solution before sampling Example 5 40.6s Dip in staining solution before sampling Comparative Example 1 61.8s Dip in staining solution before sampling

[0103] As can be seen from Table 1, the average color change time of the dyeing solution prepared in Examples 1-5 is 40.2-42.3s, while the average color change time of the dyeing solution prepared in Comparative Example 1 under the same test conditions is 61.8s. Therefore, compared with the acidic dyeing solution in the prior art (i.e., the dyeing solution in Comparative Example 1), the alkaline dyeing solution in the present invention has higher dyeing efficiency.

[0104] (2) Antioxidant capacity test

[0105] The dyeing solutions prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 were stored in a 42°C water bath, and the antioxidant properties of each sample were determined by iodine titration. The iodine titration method is specifically as follows: the iodine titration method is divided into indirect iodine titration and direct iodine titration. We used the direct iodine titration method for testing. The direct iodine titration method uses iodine element titration: C6H8O6+I2=C6H6O6+2HI. The specific test results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0106] Table 2 Antioxidant capacity test results of the dyeing solution in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1

[0107]

[0108] As can be seen from Table 2, after 3 days, the antioxidant capacity of the dyeing solutions in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1 decreased, among which the antioxidant capacity of the dyeing solution prepared in Comparative Example 1 decreased by more than 60% within 3 days; while the antioxidant capacity of the dyeing solutions prepared in Examples 1 to 5 decreased by less than 10% after storage for 40 days, indicating that the antioxidant capacity of the dyeing solution of the alkaline system in the present invention is significantly stronger than that of the dyeing solution of the acidic system in the prior art, with good stability and long storage time.

[0109] (3) Sensitivity and specificity test

[0110] Sensitivity and specificity testing refers to staining tests on sections of patients with confirmed early epithelial tissue tumor cell lesions. The measured staining success rate is the sensitivity and specificity test result. The sensitivity test is used to illustrate the staining of epithelial tissue tumor cells by the staining solution. The higher the sensitivity, the stronger the ability to detect abnormal cells. The specificity test is used to illustrate the accuracy of the staining solution. The higher the specificity, the higher the consistency rate of the stained abnormal cells with the pathological test results. The sensitivity and specificity calculation formula is:

[0111] Sensitivity = number of true positives / (number of true positives + number of false positives) × 100%;

[0112] Specificity = number of true negatives / (number of true negatives + number of false positives) × 100%;

[0113] 48 sections of patients with confirmed epithelial cell tissue tumor cell lesions and 112 sections of patients with non-epithelial cell tissue tumor cell lesions were selected for staining test, TCT and HPV examination. The operation steps of the staining experiment are: first use a cotton swab to dip into the staining solution in Example 5 and Comparative Example 1, and then dip into the exfoliated cells, and then observe the color change of the cotton swab, and then test the sensitivity and specificity of the staining solution. Under the same conditions, the existing TCT and HPV technologies were used for testing, and the specific test results are shown in Table 3 below:

[0114] Table 3 Sensitivity and specificity test results of Example 5 and Comparative Example 1

[0115] Inspection method Sensitivity Specificity Example 5 82.1% 90.1% Comparative Example 1 66.4% 86.2% TCT 66.2% 97.9% HPV 96.5% 63.6%

[0116] It can be seen from Table 3 that the staining sensitivity and specificity of the staining solution prepared in the present invention are higher than those of the acidic system staining solution in Comparative Example 1, and compared with TCT and HPV testing technologies, the staining solution of the present invention does not require instruments and equipment during testing, and the product cost is low and the patient compliance is higher.

[0117] The above is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
