Abstract

A method for electrochemical detection of hematopoietic stem cells based on tyramide signal amplification comprises the following steps: first, a gold electrode functionalized with a CD45 antibody is formed into CD45@GE, and then CD45@GE is co-incubated with hematopoietic stem cells. CD45-positive hematopoietic stem cells are captured on the surface of the functionalized gold electrode through immune recognition. Next, G-quadruplex / heme functionalized with a CD34 antibody is anchored to the electrode surface by recognizing the CD34 protein on the surface of the hematopoietic stem cells captured on the electrode. Then, the G-quadruplex / heme catalyzes the enrichment of a large number of tyramide-coated gold nanoparticles on the cell membranes of the hematopoietic stem cells. These gold nanoparticles can then serve as seeds for the deposition of silver ions. Finally, by measuring the electrochemical signal of the silver deposited on the electrode surface, efficient detection of hematopoietic stem cells can be achieved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting stem cells, and in particular to a method for implementing qualitative and quantitative detection of hematopoietic stem cells using an electrochemical method. Background Art

[0002] Hematopoietic stem cells are multipotent, self-renewing cells that can give rise to all cell types found in the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The levels of these stem cells play a role in blood cancers, autoimmune diseases, hematopoiesis, and cell therapy. They are the longest-studied and most intensive type of adult stem cell, providing valuable insights into various stem cell types, including cancer stem cells. Commonly used hematopoietic stem cell markers include CD34, CD38, and CD45, which are highly expressed in over 95% of hematopoietic stem cells.

[0003] Currently, conventional quantitative methods for hematopoietic stem cell detection, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, require complex sample pretreatment and specialized analytical instruments and are highly dependent on operator experience. Furthermore, flow cytometry has extremely high requirements for cell samples and cumbersome data processing, while ELISA is susceptible to interference, resulting in false positives and numerous interfering factors.

[0004] G-quadruplex is a DNA secondary structure with four nucleotide chains connected by one or more G-rich sequences through intramolecular or intermolecular Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds. + 、Na + and NH4 + The G-quadruplex-heme complex exhibits peroxidase catalytic activity and is therefore known as a G-quadruplex / heme deoxyribozyme (G4 / hemin DNAzyme), also known as a G-quadruplex peroxidase. Currently, as an artificial enzyme or catalyst, G-quadruplex peroxidase is used in a variety of fields, including bioanalysis, molecular machines, and DNA sensors. Compared to traditional catalytic enzymes, it offers advantages such as low cost, ease of operation, and high stability.

[0005] Electrochemical methods are becoming increasingly mature in molecular recognition, detection, and analysis, as well as in biosensing applications. This is particularly true in the life sciences for the detection of disease-related biomarkers such as proteins, nucleic acids, and cells. Common electrochemical methods include cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). DPV, which measures the current before the potential change to minimize the effects of charging current, offers high sensitivity and a very low detection limit. SWV, on the other hand, boasts high sensitivity and high efficiency. Currently, it is widely used in industries such as industry, agriculture, the environment, medicine, food science, and the life sciences. Electrochemical methods offer advantages such as high sensitivity, strong specificity, and easy instrumentation and learning. Combined with the emergence of new functional nanomaterials and evolving scientific theories, they can be applied to a wide range of fields, including life science research, health monitoring, and environmental monitoring.

[0009] A method for electrochemical detection of hematopoietic stem cells based on tyramide signal amplification, comprising:

[0010] First, CD45 antibody was functionalized into gold electrode (GE), which was recorded as: CD45@GE.

[0011] Then, CD45@GE was co-incubated with hematopoietic stem cells, and CD45-positive hematopoietic stem cells were captured on the surface of the functionalized gold electrode through immune recognition.

[0012] Then, the CD34 antibody-functionalized G-quadruplex / heme is anchored to the electrode surface by recognizing the CD34 protein on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells captured on the electrode.

[0013] Then, G-quadruplex / heme catalyzes the accumulation of a large number of tyramine-coated gold nanoparticles on the cell membrane of hematopoietic stem cells. These gold nanoparticles can then serve as seeds for the deposition of silver ions.

[0014] Finally, quantitative detection of hematopoietic stem cells can be achieved by measuring the electrochemical signal of silver deposited on the electrode surface.

[0015] The method of the present invention first modifies a gold electrode with a calix[4]arene (pSC4) having an electron-rich cavity structure. The specific method is as follows: the surface of the gold electrode is modified through gold-thiol interaction.

[0016] The two nucleic acid sequences of the G-quadruplex are as follows:

[0017] 5'-SH-AAAAACCGTGAGTGTAGCTTGAGATCTGTGAGGGAAGGGA-3', and 5'-AGGGAAGGGACACAGATCTCAAGCTACA-3'.

[0018] According to the method of the present invention, the average particle size of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is 30 to 40 nm.

[0019] The method of the present invention prepares tyramide-coated gold nanoparticles through electrostatic binding. The specific process is: a tyramide solution (10-15 μL, 100 μM) is added to a 5 mL solution of AuNPs, the mixture is gently shaken for 12-14 hours, and the solution is then centrifuged twice (2000×g, 10-15 minutes) to obtain tyramide-coated gold nanoparticles.

[0020] The method of the present invention specifically involves the following steps for detecting silver electrochemical signals: first, a gold electrode is incubated with a heme solution (2 mM, 150 to 200 μL) at room temperature in the dark for 20 to 30 minutes; then, the electrode is incubated with the prepared tyramine-coated gold nanoparticles at room temperature in the dark for 1 to 1.5 hours; finally, a mixed solution (150 to 200 μL) of AgNO3 (0.5 mM) and ascorbic acid (0.25 mM) is added and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 7 to 10 minutes; and then, the electrochemical signal is collected.

[0021] In the method of the present invention, electrochemical signals are collected using differential pulse voltammetry, with specific parameters as follows: potential scanning range of -0.2V to 0.5V, amplitude of 25mV, and frequency of 15Hz.

[0022] Beneficial effects achieved by the technical solution of the present invention:

[0023] This method proposes an electrochemical method based on the recognition of hematopoietic stem cell surface markers CD34 and CD45, combined with tyramide signal amplification technology, for highly sensitive detection of hematopoietic stem cells. Compared to these methods, the electrochemical technology used in this method is more convenient and sensitive, and it achieves precise identification and highly sensitive electrochemical analysis of hematopoietic stem cells without the need for complex sample processing or sophisticated instrumentation.

[0024] Compared with the known methods, the advantages of the technical solution of the present invention are:

[0025] (1) The antibody-functionalized gold electrode constructed based on host-guest recognition has good selectivity and high capture efficiency, and can simply and efficiently enrich hematopoietic stem cells in a complex serum environment.

[0026] (2) An improved tyramide signal amplification strategy was created, in which horseradish peroxidase, the main component of signal amplification, was replaced by the biomimetic enzyme G-quadruplex / heme, thus avoiding the drawbacks caused by the use of natural enzymes in traditional methods.

[0027] (3) Thanks to its effective signal enhancement capability, it can detect hematopoietic stem cells in samples with high sensitivity, thereby meeting the research needs of its related mechanisms and biological applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] Example 3 Electrochemical Specificity Analysis of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

[0059] (a) Preparation of antibody-functionalized gold electrodes. The following steps were performed: First, the unmodified gold electrode was polished with 3000-grit and then 5000-grit sandpaper until the surface scratches were uniform and smooth.

[0060] (b) Preparation of CD34 antibody-functionalized G-quadruplex / heme: First, two single chains (1 μL, 100 μM) of the G-quadruplex were simultaneously added to a solution of the thiol reducing agent TCEP (90-100 μL, 1 mM) to break the disulfide bonds in the G-quadruplex.

[0064] Figure 4 The figure shows how the final peak current of the solution changes with the concentration of hematopoietic stem cells. As can be seen from the figure, the electrochemical response detected increases with the number of hematopoietic stem cells. This is because as the number of hematopoietic stem cells captured on the electrode surface increases, more G-quadruplexes / heme bind to the cells, which in turn catalyzes the accumulation of more tyramine-coated gold nanoparticles on the hematopoietic stem cell membrane, allowing more silver ions to deposit on the gold electrode surface, generating a significant electrochemical signal.
