Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of single-cell mass spectrometry sampling technology, and in particular to a microfluidic device and mass spectrometry detection equipment for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells. Background Technology

[0002] Subcellular analysis of living single cells can provide information on the spatial distribution of substances, helping to detect the early occurrence and development of physiological and pathological processes at a subtle level, which is of great significance to fields such as biomedicine. Current subcellular analysis mainly uses optical methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, to determine the distribution of intracellular target substances. However, the number of species that can be detected simultaneously by these optical methods is limited, and the information of the substances to be detected needs to be known in advance in order to design the corresponding optical detection system.

[0003] Furthermore, mass spectrometry can simultaneously detect hundreds or even thousands of substances, possessing the ability to detect unknown substances. However, mass spectrometry requires injecting samples into the instrument for analysis, and spatial information of substances is lost during sampling and injection. Existing high-precision subcellular mass spectrometry methods include cell puncture sampling and mass spectrometry imaging methods (MALDI, SIMS, etc.). The former can only extract intracellular fluid substances such as cytoplasm and cannot sample fixed components such as cell membranes and the cytoskeleton. The latter requires sample pretreatment operations such as washing, drying, and cell fixation, which can lead to cell death before sampling and loss of some substances, thus requiring improvement in analytical accuracy and comprehensiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high-precision mass spectrometry sampling methods to comprehensively sample target subcellular microregions from live single cells, thereby supporting subcellular mass spectrometry analysis. Summary of the Invention

The microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells can be used to sample subcellular domains on live single cells, providing support for online subcellular mass spectrometry analysis and laying the foundation for precise single-cell analysis.

[0043] To more clearly illustrate the structure of the microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will be provided on the microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells.

[0044] For example, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0045] An exemplary microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells includes a sample manipulation system 200 and a microfluidic system 100. The microfluidic system 100 is positioned above the sample manipulation system 200.

[0046] The microfluidic system 100 includes a positioning mechanism, a flow injection pump, and a microfluidic probe 101 fixed to the positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism controls the movement of the microfluidic probe 101 in three dimensions, specifically, it can move along the X, Y, and Z axes. The bottom of the microfluidic probe 101 has a patterned structure 1011 for holding a target single cell. The patterned structure 1011 can move to contact the surface of the culture dish 202. The preset position of the patterned structure 1011 is connected to a mass spectrometry inlet pipe outside the microfluidic probe 101 via a channel. This application uses a flow injection pump to adjust the flow rate of each fluid stream and controls the type of solution injected into each channel by adjusting the pipe connection method, thereby controlling the relative position and size of the area through which the cell extract flows, and completing the sampling of the target subcellular domain of a single cell.

[0047] The sample manipulation system 200 includes a temperature-controlled support assembly 201, a culture dish 202, and a detection mechanism 203.

The fluid is driven by a flow injection pump, allowing for precise flow rate control. Different streams of solution are injected and flow through the target single cell in a laminar flow state within the microchamber 1014, dividing the cell into multiple subcellular microregions. Each stream of fluid flows through its corresponding subcellular domain and then into its corresponding outlet channel. One or more streams of fluid may be solutions that extract cell components (e.g., cell lysis buffer), which dissolve and sample the subcellular microregions through which they flow. The second channel 1013 corresponding to the sampling fluid is connected to the mass spectrometer inlet via tubing, thereby enabling online mass spectrometry analysis of the extracted subcellular domain samples.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support component 201 may be an XY stage.

[0050] In some of these embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the patterned structure 1011 includes a first channel 1012, a second channel 1013, and a microchamber 1014. The microchamber 1014 is used to hold the target single cell, and the first channel 1012 and the second channel 1013 are respectively connected to the microchamber 1014. The first channel 1012 and the second channel 1013 are used for injecting and effluent of solution, respectively. For example, see... Figure 3 As shown, each first channel 1012 is used for injecting solution, and each second channel 1013 is used for effluent flowing out of solution. The sampling size and location can be adjusted by the solution injection method and flow rate; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 As shown.

[0051] In some embodiments, there are multiple first channels 1012, and the multiple first channels 1012 are distributed in a divergent manner.

[0052] In some embodiments, there are multiple second channels 1013, and the multiple second channels 1013 are distributed in a divergent manner.

[0053] In some embodiments, the patterned structure 1011 can realize multiple first channels 1012 for injecting solution and multiple second channels 1013 for effluent, or the patterned structure 1011 can realize one first channel 1012 for injecting solution and multiple second channels 1013 for effluent, or the patterned structure 1011 can realize multiple first channels 1012 for injecting solution and one second channel 1013 for effluent.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first channel 1012 and the second channel 1013 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the microchamber 1014.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cell sample seeding density in culture dish 202 is 10-1. 2 ~10 4 pcs / square centimeter

[0056] In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism is an XYZ positioner. The positioning mechanism is capable of movement in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions.

[0057] In some embodiments, the sample handling platform further includes a detection mechanism 203. The detection mechanism 203 is disposed below the support assembly 201, wherein the detection mechanism 203 is a microscope. (See attached image) Figure 1 As shown, the objective lens of the microscope is oriented toward the support assembly 201.

[0058] In some embodiments, the support component 201 is able to control the temperature of the culture dish 202 to 37°C.

[0060] A mass spectrometry detection device includes a microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells. The patterned structure 1011 of the microfluidic device 10 for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of live single cells is connected via channels to the mass spectrometry inlet tubing of the mass spectrometry detection device outside the microfluidic probe 101. The preset positions are one or more second channels 1013.

[0061] When the microfluidic device 10 of the present invention is used for mass spectrometry sampling of subcellular microregions of living single cells, the process is as follows:

[0062] Step (1): Place the cell sample in the culture dish 202, culture the cell sample to the state to be detected, and then place the culture dish 202 on the sample manipulation system 200 to adjust the target cells to the appropriate position.

[0063] Step (2): Connect the first channel 1012 of the microfluidic probe 101 to the corresponding syringe, which contains the corresponding solution. The syringe is mounted on a flow injection pump and a non-damaging solution (e.g., cell buffer) is pre-injected to purge gas from the flow path.

[0064] Step (3): Cover the target single cell in the culture dish 202 with the bottom microchamber 1014 of the microfluidic probe 101, and start each flow injection pump to cause the fluid to flow through the target single cell in the culture dish 202 in a laminar flow state. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 As shown.

[0065] Step (4): Collect sample solutions from different outlets of the second channel 1013, and send the sample solution of interest into a mass spectrometer for analysis. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 As shown. The sampling size and location can be adjusted by the solution injection method and flow rate; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 As shown.

[0066] Step (5): After sampling, if a cell-damaging solution was used: stop the injection and slowly aspirate the cell-damaging solution back into the tubing, allowing it to be pushed back by the non-damaging solution injected through other inlet channels. Then lift and remove the microfluidic probe and return the cells to the culture environment. If no cell-damaging solution was used, simply lift and remove the microfluidic probe.

[0068] 1. This invention samples the target subcellular domain of a living single cell by manipulating the fluid flow within the microcavity 1014 at the bottom of the microfluidic probe.

[0069] 2. The fluid injected in this invention can be either a solvent capable of dissolving cellular components for extracting components from the target subcellular domain, or a non-damaging fluid for online collection of exocrine substances from the target subcellular domain. Except for some special applications (such as using a solvent to dissolve the cell nucleus for sampling), in most application scenarios, the cells sampled using this method can still survive and regenerate, making it possible to sample and analyze multiple times from the same living cell, which is of great significance for life science research.
