Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biological detection technology, and in particular relates to a method for processing and detecting a sample of insulin-like growth factor in blood. Background Art

[0002] Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone composed of 70 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 7.6kDa. It is secreted from the liver in response to growth hormone (GH). Therefore, IGF-1 is often used as a supplement or alternative to GH. In the blood, IGF-1 typically exists as a complex with IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs).

[0003] Traditional detection methods, primarily enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), have low sensitivity and are susceptible to interference from other analogs such as IGF-2. With the rapid development of clinical mass spectrometry in recent years, mass spectrometry has also rapidly gained acceptance for IGF-1 detection. However, IGF-1's large molecular weight and presence in the form of a protein complex in the blood make accurate quantification of IGF-1 challenging.

[0004] Comprehensive analysis shows that the current IGF-1 detection methods have the following defects and shortcomings:

[0005] 1. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: This detection method has low sensitivity and cannot accurately quantify the clinical diagnosis of dwarfism in children.

[0006] 2. Trypsin digestion: Due to the large molecular weight of IGF-1, it requires enzymatic digestion to detect the peptide fragments. This mass spectrometry method is time-consuming and generally requires overnight processing. Furthermore, the need for trypsin treatment increases testing costs.

[0007] 3. Intact protein detection using a dissociation agent: Because IGF-1 exists as a protein complex, a dissociation agent is required. Current dissociation agents primarily include sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and trifluoroethanol (TFE). These agents significantly interfere with mass spectrometry and easily contaminate the mass spectrometer. Pre-treated samples must undergo SPE purification to remove SDS, significantly increasing the cost of the assay.

[0008] 4. Adding IGF-2 to serum to compete for dissociation and obtain complete IGF-1: This method requires the additional addition of IGF-2, which increases the detection cost, and the dissociation effect of IGF-1 is not good. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the technical problems existing in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting insulin-like growth factor in blood.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical means:

[0011] A first aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for processing a sample for detecting insulin-like growth factor in blood, comprising the following steps:

[0012] S1. Measure the sample to be tested and place it in a clean centrifuge tube a. Add 0.6% SDS in an equal volume to the sample to be tested, mix thoroughly, centrifuge the solution to the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and incubate at 37°C for 20-40 minutes.

[0013] S2. Add precipitant consisting of acetic acid, acetonitrile, and acetone twice the volume of the solution in centrifuge tube a, mix thoroughly, precipitate the protein for 1-3 minutes, and centrifuge at 4°C.

[0014] S3. Pipette the supernatant into a clean centrifuge tube b, add 4.2 times the volume of cold acetonitrile, mix thoroughly, and place in a -20°C refrigerator for protein precipitation;

[0015] S4. Remove the protein precipitate sample from the -20°C freezer and centrifuge at 4°C, discard the supernatant; add an appropriate amount of cold acetonitrile to the precipitate, mix thoroughly, wash the precipitate and the wall of the centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 4°C, discard the supernatant, and air dry;

[0016] S5. Add 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution, vortex and shake to fully dissolve to obtain the test sample.

[0017] Furthermore, the precipitant is mixed in a volume ratio of acetic acid:acetonitrile:acetone=1:4:15.

[0018] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for detecting insulin-like growth factor in blood samples based on HPLC-MS / MS, comprising the following steps: preparing a standard curve working solution with a designed concentration gradient using an IGF-1 standard and a blank matrix, detecting the standard curve working solution using HPLC-MS / MS, adopting an external standard quantification method, with the concentration of the standard curve working solution as the X-axis and the chromatographic peak area of ​​the standard curve working solution as the Y-axis, to establish a standard working curve; injecting the test sample into the HPLC-MS / MS for measurement, and substituting the detected sample chromatographic peak area into the standard working curve to obtain the IGF-1 concentration in the test sample.

[0019] Furthermore, the blank matrix is ​​a 2% BSA solution.

[0020] Preferably, the chromatographic conditions for the detection are as follows:

[0021] Chromatographic column: Phenomenex Kinetex C8 column (50x2.1 mm, 2.6 μm, 100 Å);

[0022] Mobile phase: A: 0.1% formic acid in water; B: 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile;

[0023] Flow rate: 0.4 mL / min;

[0024] Column temperature: 55°C;

[0025] Injection volume: 15 μL

[0026] A gradient elution method was used, and the gradient elution method was as follows: the volume fraction of mobile phase A + the volume fraction of mobile phase B = 100%; the gradient elution time was 4.5 minutes and then stopped, wherein:

[0027] 0.01-0.5min The volume fraction of mobile phase A is 95%;

[0028] The volume fraction of mobile phase A decreased from 95% to 80% at 0.5-0.6 min;

[0029] The volume fraction of mobile phase A decreased from 80% to 50% during 0.6-2 min;

[0030] 2-2.1 min: the volume fraction of mobile phase A decreased from 50% to 0%;

[0031] 2.1-3.1 min: the volume fraction of mobile phase A was maintained at 0%;

[0032] From 3.1 to 3.2 min, the volume fraction of mobile phase A increased and decreased from 0% to 95%;

[0033] The volume fraction of mobile phase A was maintained at 95% from 3.2 to 4.5 min.

[0034] Furthermore, the mass spectrometry conditions for the detection are as follows:

[0035] Ion source: electrospray ion source, positive ion mode; capillary voltage: 5500 V; ion source temperature: 500°C; ion source nebulizer gas: 55 psi; ion source heating auxiliary gas: 55 psi; curtain gas: 40 psi; collision gas: Medium; scanning mode: MRM, MRM parameters are: quantitative ion: IGF-1_8_y5; Q1 (m / z): 956.950; Q3 (m / z): 473.500; RT (min): 1.65; DP (V): 100; EP (V): 10; CE (V): 45; CXP (V): 15.

[0036] Beneficial effects of the present invention

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] (1) The present invention is based on the determination of IGF-1 concentration in human serum, and uses the denaturant SDS to incubate and dissociate IGF-1 and its binding protein IGFBPs to obtain free IGF-1. The use of 0.6% SDS has a better dissociation effect and a higher mass spectrometry detection signal value.

[0039] (2) The method of the present invention utilizes SDS to dissociate IGF-1 in serum, replacing the competitive dissociation method of adding IGF-2, thereby significantly saving detection costs.

[0040] (3) The method of the present invention uses a precipitant volume 4 times the sample volume to precipitate the protein, and then uses cold acetonitrile to perform a two-step washing precipitation to remove SDS. There is no need to use SPE for purification. The operation is simple and saves detection costs. It is suitable for the detection of IGF-1 in clinical samples and also reduces contamination to the mass spectrometer.

[0041] (4) The mass spectrometry detection method is short, only taking 4.5 minutes, which greatly saves detection time for applications with large sample volumes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Two parallel experiments were performed using the same sample a. The test results are shown in Table 4 below.
