Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological detection technology, specifically relating to a heterogeneous composite material for capturing exosomes and its preparation method, as well as a method for specifically enriching exosomes and detecting exosome metabolites using this heterogeneous composite material and its application in disease screening and diagnosis. Specifically, it relates to a method for synthesizing novel magnetic transition metal oxide carbide materials, a method for continuously capturing exosomes and performing metabolite mass spectrometry analysis using magnetic transition metal oxide carbide materials, and a method for screening potential exosome metabolic biomarkers for bladder cancer. Background Technology
[0002] Exosomes are extracellular vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm and a phospholipid bilayer structure. They can be secreted by various cells and released into various body fluids, such as urine, blood, and tears. Exosomes contain various types of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. These can disrupt the dynamic balance between normal cells and the extracellular environment and mediate communication between cancer cells and surrounding normal cells. Therefore, exosomes are ideal for liquid biopsies. In recent years, the excellent performance of exosome-based liquid biopsies in early cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis has attracted widespread attention. Currently, researchers consider proteins and microRNAs in exosomes to be promising biomarkers. To date, there are few reports on the development and utilization of exosomal metabolites as biomarkers. However, metabolites are downstream products of transcriptional and translational biochemical reaction networks and can provide terminal information closer to the phenotype than the genome and proteome, showing great potential in directly reflecting an individual's physiological and pathological state. Therefore, it is necessary to develop detection and analysis methods for exosome metabolites to provide a new perspective for exosome-based liquid biopsy.
[0003] Pre-separation is a prerequisite for liquid biopsy via exosomes. Traditional exosome separation methods mainly include ultracentrifugation, size exclusion, and precipitation. However, these methods are time-consuming, costly, and yield products with limited purity, restricting their widespread application. Chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is the most mature technique for exosome metabolite analysis, but its high cost and labor-intensive pretreatment steps, including quenching, lysis, metabolite extraction, concentration, and resolution, hinder its widespread application in clinical disease detection. In recent years, advances in nanoscience have provided new solutions for exosome separation and exosome metabolite analysis. Nanostructured adsorbents, with their high surface area, strong modification properties, abundant binding sites, and synergistic affinity effects, can achieve efficient exosome separation. Nanostructure-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry utilizes the physical properties of nanostructured matrices, such as photothermal conversion, photoelectric effect, and surface plasmon resonance, to promote the desorption and ionization processes of metabolites and achieve selective adsorption of target analytes through specific structures. Compared with traditional mass spectrometry techniques, nanostructure-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry offers simpler operation, faster analysis speed, higher throughput, and enhanced anti-interference capabilities, while ensuring low background interference, high sensitivity, and reproducibility. It has been widely used in various clinical scenarios to assist in medical decision-making.
[0004] Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system, characterized by high incidence, high mutation rate, and high recurrence rate. In 2020, 573,278 new cases of bladder cancer were diagnosed globally, with 212,536 deaths. Based on the histopathological results of bladder muscle invasion, bladder cancer can be divided into non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. These two subtypes of bladder cancer exhibit different molecular drivers, clinical outcomes, and treatment methods. Currently, cystoscopy and urine cytology are the gold standards for detecting bladder cancer. In fact, less than 30% of bladder cancer cases in suspected populations are diagnosed by invasive cystoscopy. Furthermore, the high recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer necessitates frequent cystoscopy, and the low sensitivity of monitoring for rare exfoliated tumor cells in urine leads to high costs for bladder cancer screening and clinical management. The five-year survival rates for patients with early-stage bladder cancer, muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and metastatic bladder cancer have been reported to be 94%, 50%, and 20%, respectively. Under these circumstances, non-invasive liquid biopsy has great potential as a tool for bladder cancer detection. However, due to the high mutational heterogeneity during disease progression, no high-performance biomarkers have yet been identified that can be widely applied to liquid biopsy for bladder cancer. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop advanced technologies for bladder cancer screening, early diagnosis, and treatment monitoring to provide comprehensive guidance for precision medicine.

[0051] Example 1: Synthesis of Magnetic Oxidized Transition Metal Carbide Materials
[0052] (1) First, 2.00g of titanium aluminum carbide was slowly added to 50mL of 50% hydrofluoric acid solution and stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The solid obtained was washed repeatedly by centrifugation with deionized water until the pH value of the supernatant was greater than 6. The product was then vacuum dried at 50℃.
[0053] (2) Take the product obtained in step (1), add 500 mL of deionized water, and stir for 30 minutes. Then, transfer the suspension to a stainless steel reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and react at 120°C for 16 hours. Then, wash the obtained solid with deionized water by centrifugation and dry it under vacuum at 50°C.
[0054] (3) Calcine the product obtained in step (2) at 300°C for 3 hours in air at a heating rate of 5°C·min-1, and store the obtained solid at 4°C.
[0055] (4) First, take the product obtained in step (3), add 60 mL of ethylene glycol, and stir until homogeneous. Next, add 300 mg of ferric chloride hexahydrate, 1.08 mg of hexamethylenediamine, and 1.20 mg of anhydrous sodium acetate to the above suspension and stir until the solid is completely dissolved. Then, transfer the suspension to a stainless steel reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and react at 200 °C for 6 hours. Finally, under the action of an external magnetic field, wash the obtained solid with deionized water, vacuum dry it at 50 °C, and store it at 4 °C to obtain the magnetic oxide transition metal carbide material.
[0056] Scanning electron microscope images of magnetic transition metal oxide carbide materials, such as Figure 1 Transmission electron microscopy images of magnetic transition metal oxide carbide materials, such as... Figure 2 The hysteresis loop diagram of magnetic oxide transition metal carbide materials is shown below. Figure 3 X-ray diffraction patterns of magnetic transition metal oxide carbide materials are as follows: Figure 4The Zeta potential diagrams of the products obtained in steps (1), (2), (3), and (4) are shown below. Figure 5 The ultraviolet absorption spectra of the products obtained in steps (1), (2), (3), and (4) are as follows: Figure 6 The transient photocurrent response curves of the products obtained in steps (1), (2), (3), and (4) are shown in the figure below. Figure 7 .
[0057] Analysis results: From Figures 1 to 3 It can be seen that magnetic oxide transition metal carbide materials exhibit a two-dimensional layered stacked structure, with a rough surface and strong magnetic responsiveness; from Figures 4 to 5 It can be seen that the aptamer-coupled polycrystalline carbon material contains titanium dioxide and iron oxide crystals, and the material exhibits positive charge due to amino modification; from Figures 6 to 7 It can be seen that the material's ultraviolet absorption capacity at 355 nm and photocurrent response are continuously enhanced during the synthesis process.
[0058] Example 2: The aptamer obtained in Example 1 was coupled with polycrystalline carbon material for the continuous capture and metabolomics analysis of urinary exosomes from 112 healthy controls and 113 bladder cancer patients.
[0059] (1) Take 0.1 mg of magnetic oxidized transition metal carbide material and add it to 25 μL of target sample. Incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes, wash with phosphate buffer solution, add 5 μL of deionized water to obtain magnetic oxidized transition metal carbide material suspension for capturing exosomes;
[0060] (2) 1 μL of the magnetic transition metal oxide carbide material suspension obtained in step (1) was dropped onto the target plate and allowed to dry naturally before laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry analysis was performed. A Bruker UltrafleXtremeMALDI-TOF / TOF mass spectrometer was used with a 355 nm Nd:YAG laser source, a laser frequency of 2000 Hz, and an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. The acquisition mode was cation reflector mode, and the mass-to-charge ratio range was 100-1000 Da. Mass spectrometry data were obtained from flexControl 3.4 and exported from flexAnalysis 3.4 to obtain the exosome mass spectrum.
[0061] The magnetic oxidized transition metal carbide material capturing exosomes and the corresponding CD9, CD63, and HSP70 protein blots of urine are shown below. Figure 8 Representative property spectra of exosomes from healthy controls and bladder cancer patients are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 9 .
[0062] Analysis results: From Figure 8 It can be seen that magnetic transition metal oxide carbide materials can effectively enrich and separate exosomes in urine; from Figure 9 It can be seen that exosome mass spectra of healthy controls and bladder cancer patients can be successfully obtained using magnetic oxidized transition metal carbide materials.
[0063] Example 3: The exosome mass spectra obtained in Example 2 were imported into an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model to screen exosome metabolic biomarkers.
[0064] (1) The exosome mass spectra were preprocessed using R language based on the MALDIquant and MALDIquantForeign packages, including peak intensity conversion and normalization, peak smoothing, baseline subtraction, peak alignment, peak identification and peak grouping.
[0065] (2) Based on exosome mass spectrometry, an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model was constructed using SIMCA-P 14.1 to select exosome metabolic biomarkers. Specifically, SIMCA-P 14.1 was used to output the probability value of each sample belonging to the bladder cancer group, and the variable importance projection value, P value, p(cov,x-axis) value, and p(corr,y-axis) value of each peak signal in the exosome mass spectrometry were calculated. Peak signals with variable importance projection values greater than 1, P values less than 0.05, absolute values of p(cov,x-axis) greater than 0.05, and absolute values of p(corr,y-axis) greater than 0.5 were selected as exosome metabolic biomarkers.
[0066] The probability value graph output by the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model is shown below. Figure 10 .
[0067] Analysis results: Figure 10 It can be seen that the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model based on exosome mass spectrometry can accurately distinguish between healthy controls and bladder cancer patients. Figure 11 As can be seen, the five exosome metabolic markers of bladder cancer obtained through the above analysis model are ethanolamine, L-aspartate, L-acetylcarnitine, prostaglandin E2, and 5,6-dihydroxyprostaglandin F1a. They showed significant differences in expression between healthy controls and bladder cancer patients (P value < 0.0001), which played an important role in distinguishing between healthy controls and bladder cancer patients.
[0068] The above analytical model can also be applied to other cancers.
[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
