Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnetic nanomolecular sieve materials technology, specifically to a magnetic nanomolecular sieve, its preparation method, and its application in the enrichment of low-abundance proteins. Background Technology

[0002] Proteomics is the science that studies the composition and changes of proteins at a holistic level, using the proteome as its research object. This leads to a comprehensive understanding of processes such as cellular activity and disease development at the protein level. Proteomics research not only systematically reveals the laws governing life activities but also effectively elucidates the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks of disease development. Shotgun proteomics, based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS), provides strong technical support for the identification and quantification of proteomes in complex biological samples.

[0003] However, for samples with a wide dynamic range, such as serum, plasma, urine, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and cell supernatant, LC-MS / MS-based proteomics studies are severely limited. Taking serum or plasma as an example, the dynamic range of serum / plasma is extremely wide, estimated to be 12-13 orders of magnitude, with approximately 22 proteins having concentrations as high as mg / mL, accounting for 99% of the total proteins. Meanwhile, thousands of other proteins of interest, such as tissue leakage proteins and signaling factors, have concentrations in plasma as low as ng / mL or even pg / mL. The overwhelming "masking" effect caused by high-abundance functional proteins makes the detection of valuable low-abundance proteins very difficult, even using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry techniques.

[0004] To improve the detection coverage of low-abundance proteins, methods based on immunoaffinity for the removal of high-abundance proteins and peptide-level fractionation have been developed. These methods can increase the number of plasma proteins identified to 500-800, but the removal of high-abundance proteins also removes some low-abundance proteins that interact with them, resulting in the loss of important low-abundance protein information. Furthermore, these methods have long detection cycles, high costs, and low throughput; they are not suitable for large-scale cohort sample processing. More importantly, antibody-based high-abundance protein removal methods can only remove specific proteins for specific sample types. Non-blood samples, such as cerebrospinal fluid, urine, breast milk, saliva, and cell supernatant, have significantly different or even completely different high-abundance protein types compared to serum / plasma samples, making it impossible to remove high-abundance proteins using the above methods. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new, low-cost, high-throughput, and easy-to-operate method that is not limited by sample type to achieve rapid and efficient enrichment of low-abundance proteins, thereby increasing the number of proteins identified. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Objective: This invention addresses the problems of existing low-abundance protein enrichment technologies by proposing a magnetic molecular sieve, its preparation method, and its application in low-abundance protein enrichment. This invention utilizes the large specific surface area and high silanol content of molecular sieves to enrich low-abundance proteins in various sample types through electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces. The proposed method for preparing the magnetic molecular sieve preserves the surface properties of the sieve and maintains its protein adsorption performance while imparting magnetism. This provides a simpler, faster, and more efficient technique for large-scale sample processing, enabling high-throughput automated production.

[0029] Beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The method for preparing magnetic molecular sieves proposed in this invention involves coating the synthesized molecular sieve onto the outer surface of a magnetic core. That is, the synthesis of the molecular sieve and the coating onto the outer surface of the magnetic core are carried out simultaneously. This ensures that the surface properties of the molecular sieve are not damaged and that the protein adsorption performance of the molecular sieve is not reduced, while imparting it with magnetism. Compared with directly introducing a magnetic core onto the outer surface of a synthesized molecular sieve, the magnetic molecular sieve obtained by the method of this invention has stronger magnetism.

[0032] 3. This invention provides a simpler, faster, and more efficient technical method for large-scale sample processing. Non-magnetic materials require high-speed centrifugation to achieve solid-liquid separation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; while magnetic separation can be completed in just a few seconds, greatly optimizing the sample processing flow.

[0033] 4. This method has a wide range of applications and is suitable for various samples containing high-abundance proteins, such as blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, milk, egg white, and cell supernatant; it overcomes the limitations of sample type and protein type in high-abundance protein removal methods based on immunoaffinity.

[0034] 5. Enrichment of low-abundance proteins based on magnetic nanomolecular sieves can be completed in just two steps: incubation and washing. Compared with traditional methods for removing high-abundance proteins based on immunoaffinity and fractionation, this significantly reduces the number of sample processing steps and the operation time.

[0035] 6. Compared with the results of mass spectrometry detection without treatment, the number of proteins identified in samples enriched by magnetic nanomolecular sieves can be increased by 100%-700%, effectively avoiding the interference of high abundance proteins on the identification of low abundance proteins during mass spectrometry detection.

A method for enriching low-abundance proteins using magnetic nanomolecular sieves, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: 1) Add binding buffer and magnetic nano-molecular sieve to the sample to be tested to obtain a suspension; 2) After shaking and incubating the suspension, perform magnetic separation to remove the supernatant and retain the precipitate; 3) Add washing buffer to wash the precipitate. The resulting precipitate is a mixture of magnetic nanomolecular sieves and the low-abundance proteins they enrich. 4) The target protein is detected using mass spectrometry, IHC, ELISA, Western blot, or chemiluminescence. The preparation method of the magnetic nanomolecular sieve includes the following steps: (I) Fe3O4 was added to sodium citrate solution, dispersed evenly and reacted, then separated, washed and dried to obtain sodium citrate modified Fe3O4; (II) Add sodium citrate-modified Fe3O4 to deionized water, disperse evenly, then add an alkali source and dissolve completely; (III) Add template agent, stabilizer and surfactant to (II) and dissolve; (IV) Add silicon source and alkali metal source to (III), dissolve and crystallize at room temperature for 1-6 hours, then perform hydrothermal crystallization at 100-200°C for 24-120 hours. After hydrothermal crystallization, obtain magnetic nano molecular sieve by filtration, washing, drying and calcination; the alkali metal source is sodium aluminate.

7. The method according to claim 6, characterized in that, In step 1), the type of sample to be tested is selected from blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, milk, egg white or cell supernatant; the ratio of the magnetic nanomolecular sieve material to the sample to be tested is 1mg:5ul~10ml.
