Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of magnetic nanometer titanium dioxide material, and particularly relates to a magnetic nanometer titanium dioxide, a preparation method thereof and application of the magnetic nanometer titanium dioxide in low-abundance protein enrichment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Proteomics is a science that takes protein groups as research objects and studies protein composition and variation rules from the whole level to obtain overall and comprehensive understanding of processes such as cell activities and disease occurrence at the protein level. Proteomics research can not only systematically reveal life activity rules, but also effectively clarify molecular mechanisms and regulation networks of disease occurrence and development. Shotgun proteomics strategy based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) technology provides strong technical support for protein group level identification and quantification of complex biological samples.

[0003] However, for some samples with wide dynamic distribution range such as serum, plasma, urine, milk, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva and cell supernatant, proteomics research based on LC-MS / MS is greatly limited. Taking serum or plasma as an example, the dynamic range distribution of serum / plasma is extremely wide, with an estimated 12-13 orders of magnitude, and the concentration of about 22 kinds of proteins is as high as mg / mL, accounting for 99% of total proteins. The concentrations of thousands of other proteins of interest such as tissue leakage proteins and signal factors in plasma are as low as ng / mL or even pg / mL. The overwhelming "masking" effect caused by high-abundance functional proteins makes it very difficult to detect valuable low-abundance proteins, even using the most advanced mass spectrometry technology.

[0004] In order to improve the detection coverage of low-abundance proteins, high-abundance protein removal based on immunophilic affinity and component fractionation at the peptide level are developed. These methods can increase the identification number of plasma proteins to 500-800, but some low-abundance proteins interacting with high-abundance proteins are also removed in the process of removing high-abundance proteins, resulting in the loss of important low-abundance protein information. In addition, the detection cycle of this kind of method is long, the cost is high, and the throughput is low; it is not suitable for large-scale queue sample processing. More importantly, the high-abundance protein removal method based on antibodies can only remove specific proteins for specific sample types. Non-blood samples such as cerebrospinal fluid, urine, milk, saliva and cell supernatant have great differences in high-abundance protein types from serum / plasma samples or even completely different high-abundance protein types, and cannot remove high-abundance proteins based on the above methods. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new method that is not limited by sample type, low cost, high throughput and easy to operate, to realize rapid and efficient enrichment of low-abundance proteins, so as to improve the identification number of proteins. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application is directed to the problems existing in the prior art low-abundance protein enrichment technology, and provides a magnetic titanium dioxide, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in low-abundance protein enrichment. The low-abundance protein in various sample types is enriched by using the coordination, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bond interaction and van der Waals force between titanium dioxide and protein. The preparation method of the magnetic titanium dioxide (Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2) provided by the present application is as follows: a layer of SiO2 is first pre-coated on the surface of the iron core, and then TiO2 is coated. The pre-coating of SiO2 is more conducive to the formation of the TiO2 coating layer, and the surface properties of TiO2 are not damaged, the protein adsorption performance of TiO2 is not decreased, and the magnetic property is also provided. A more simple, fast and efficient technical method is provided for large-scale sample processing, and high-throughput automated production can be realized in the later stage. In addition, the method has a wide application range, and breaks through the sample type limitation and protein type limitation of the high-abundance protein removal method based on immunophilic force.
