Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical engineering. More specifically, this invention relates to an antifouling microbubble for bioorthogonal capture, its preparation, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Bioorthogonal chemistry is a class of chemical reactions that can occur in biological systems. They exhibit high specificity, are unaffected by endogenous biomolecules, and possess good biocompatibility. Typically carried out in water or PBS, these reactions are rapid, meeting the needs of real-time research and thus attracting widespread attention.

[0003] Patent publication number CN113092784A discloses functionalized magnetic beads and a one-step macromolecule capture method using bioorthogonal chemistry. This method, utilizing magnetic beads modified with uncoupled antibody small molecules to capture macromolecules, avoids antigen-antibody reactions. It employs the principle of azidoyne cycloaddition reaction in click chemistry, preventing the generation of non-specific binding proteins. This one-step capture method for protein biomolecules is more direct, efficient, and has lower background, and is applicable to protein capture under denaturing conditions, thus having wider applicability. Compared to magnetic beads, hollow glass microspheres are inexpensive, lightweight, stable, and high-strength hollow micron-sized silica spheres. Due to their low density and self-aggregating properties, they can spontaneously separate from solution without external force. Hollow glass microspheres, as a self-driven and self-separating material, have enormous potential for bioanalytical applications. However, hollow glass microspheres are typically micrometers in size, with a relatively large particle size, resulting in a small specific surface area and a small contact area with the target analyte. Furthermore, due to their large surface area, they often require modification with a large number of target probes, leading to low utilization rates in practical applications, and the modified biorecognition probes are difficult to preserve long-term. In addition, the surface of hollow glass microspheres has a large number of negative charges, which makes them easy to non-specifically adsorb positively charged pollutants. This low specificity has prevented hollow glass microspheres from being used in bioorthogonal chemistry. Summary of the Invention

[0083] Example 6

[0084] The hollow glass microspheres (GB), antifouling glass microbubbles (GB@PTB), and antifouling glass microbubbles (GB@PTB@Tz) with bioorthogonal function of Example 5 were characterized.

[0085] For fluorescence characterization, since phase transition BSA (PTB) contains β-amyloid protein, thiamine T (ThT) can be used to characterize the coating on the microbubble surface. 1 mg of GB, GB@PTB, and GB@PTB@Tz were weighed and reacted in PBS solution containing 1 mM ThT at 37°C for 2 hours. After washing five times with ultrapure water, the mixture was observed using a laser confocal microscope. To demonstrate the bioorthogonality, 1 mg of GB, GB@PTB, GB@PTB@Tz, and Cy5-labeled TCO dye (TCO-Cy5) (2 μM) were reacted in 200 μL of PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. After washing five times with ultrapure water, the mixture was observed using a laser confocal microscope.

[0086] Fluorescence characterization results as follows Figure 2 As shown, GB@PTB and GB@PTB@Tz modified with PTB showed obvious fluorescence signals on the surface of the microbubbles after ThT staining, while the unmodified GB surface showed no signal. This proves that PTB was successfully formed on the microbubble surface. Furthermore, after the addition of TCO-Cy5, only the Tz-modified microbubble surface showed obvious fluorescence signals, demonstrating the bioorthogonal ability of the microbubbles.

[0087] To observe the morphology of the PTB coating on the microbubble surface, SEM and TEM were used. Figure 3 As shown, the surface of ordinary GB is relatively flat with almost no large particles. However, the surface of microbubbles modified with PTB has obvious nanoparticles, proving that PTB can form a nanofilm on the surface of microbubbles.

Hollow glass microspheres with a PTB coating demonstrate excellent antifouling capabilities for cells, proteins, and nucleic acids. This confirms the successful preparation of bioorthogonal antifouling microbubbles.

[0095] The antifouling performance of the antifouling glass microbubbles with bioorthogonal function prepared in Examples 1-4 is similar to that of GB@PTB@Tz prepared in Example 5.

[0125] The capture results of the orthogonally modified EGFR protein by the antifouling glass microbubbles with bioorthogonal function prepared in Examples 1-4 were similar to those of the orthogonally modified EGFR protein by the GB@PTB@Tz prepared in Example 5.

[0126] Example 15

[0127] The effects of the bio-orthogonal-functional antifouling glass microbubbles (GB@PTB@Tz) prepared in Example 5 on the capture of orthogonally modified total protein were investigated.

[0128] Take 10 5 Cells were lysed using 1 mL of non-denaturing cell lysis buffer, and the supernatant was collected after centrifugation to obtain total cellular protein. 100 μL of this supernatant was added to 1 μL of TCO-NHS ester (10 mM), and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain TCO-modified protein. 0.4 mg of GB@PTB@Tz was then mixed with the TCO-modified protein at room temperature for 10 minutes to achieve protein capture.

[0129] To detect the captured proteins, 100 nM Cy5-tagged DNA aptamers were used. Figure 9 As shown, the Cy5-labeled EpCAM aptamer can successfully recognize the EpCAM protein captured on the microbubbles, demonstrating the successful protein capture.

[0130] The total protein capture results of the antifouling glass microbubbles with bioorthogonal function prepared in Examples 1-4 were similar to those of the total protein capture results of the orthogonally modified GB@PTB@Tz prepared in Example 5.
