Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of food safety detection, and particularly relates to a lead ion (Pb 2+ )Detection methods and kits. Background Art

[0002] Lead is a common heavy metal element. 2+ Pb is widely distributed in the environment and has high biological toxicity. 2+ It will also eventually cause serious health problems to the human body due to the bioaccumulation effect. Lead ions in food usually come from a variety of channels, including soil, water sources, industrial pollution, pesticides, pollution during food processing, and lead content in food packaging materials. Many countries have enacted relevant laws to regulate Pb in water and food. 2+ The content of lead in water and food has serious effects on human health. Long-term excessive intake of lead may cause a variety of health problems, including nervous system damage, intellectual development disorders, anemia, kidney damage and reproductive system problems. Especially for children and pregnant women, lead intake may cause long-term effects on intellectual and behavioral development. Therefore, the use of Pb 2+ Screening of contaminated water and food is of great significance for ensuring food safety and human health and safeguarding the rights and interests of consumers, which depends on the development of effective and reliable detection methods.

[0003] At present, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), dithizone spectrophotometry, etc. are widely used for the determination of Pb 2+ These traditional detection methods have the advantages of being able to detect multiple different elements at the same time and having a short analysis time. However, due to the defects of expensive equipment and instruments, high operating costs, complex pre-treatment of the substances to be tested and the need for professionally trained technicians, the application of traditional detection methods in on-site detection is limited and it is difficult to use them for on-site detection of Pb in water and food. 2+ Therefore, it is still of great significance to develop a lead ion detection method with simple operation, low cost and strong stability. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a Pb 2+ In order to maximize the detection sensitivity, the present invention has designed a design principle based on GR-5 DNAzymes-mediated catalytic hairpin self-assembly and hybridization chain reaction cascade amplification strategy for detecting trace amounts of Pb 2+ ,like Figure 1As shown in the figure, the system consists of three parts: specific enzyme cleavage reaction of GR-5 DNAzymes, CHA, and HCR. 2+ When it does not exist, the reactants in the system are in a stable state and exist independently of each other; when the target substance Pb 2+ When present, PD and Pb 2+ It binds specifically and catalytically cleaves the rA site of H1, releasing T1 to participate in the CHA reaction, and then PD enters the next round of enzyme cleavage reaction; T1 performs base complementary pairing with the exposed sticky end region of H2, gradually opening the hairpin H2, and then the newly exposed sequence of H2 combines with H3 to form a stable H2-H3 complex, and the replaced T1 enters the next round of CHA cycle; both ends of the formed H2-H3 complex can activate the HCR reaction, because one end of H2-H3 contains a complete initiation chain sequence that can trigger HCR, and the other end is composed of two split initiation sequence fragments. After the sticky ends on both sides of the H2-H3 complex simultaneously open the hairpin H4, H5 undergoes hybridization reaction with the newly released H4 sequence, and the newly exposed H5 sticky end can destroy the H4 stem structure and then open H4. After multiple rounds of cyclic reactions, a "work-type" long-chain DNA with multiple G-rich sticky end chains is finally formed, and its G-rich sequence is in the K + Under the action of H2O2, it binds to hemin, folds to form hemin / G quadruplex DNAzymes, and catalyzes the oxidation of TMB to produce a blue substance under the induction of H2O2, which is finally converted into a stable yellow substance after termination by H2SO4. The solution system has a maximum absorption peak at 450nm when detected by UV-visible spectrophotometer. 2+ As the concentration increases, the detected colorimetric signal gradually increases. Therefore, the detection of Pb 2+ Quantitative detection of GR-5 DNAzymes and Pb 2+ It specifically binds and catalyzes the cleavage of hairpin H1, initiating the CHA cycle reaction to form a divalent initiator chain complex. Both ends of the complex simultaneously trigger HCR reactions to form longer and more long-chain products with G-quadruplex DNAzymes fragments, thereby increasing the local concentration of hemin / G-quadruplex DNAzymes and improving its catalytic activity, thereby achieving a greater signal amplification effect.

[0052] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0053] Tris, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), hemin, TritonX-100, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were purchased from Shanghai Shenggong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) were purchased from Xilong Science. Ultrapure water (18.2MQ·cm) was used in this experiment, and the DNA used in the experiment was synthesized by Shanghai Shenggong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

[0054] Table 1 shows the recognition probe PD, hairpin probes H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5, respectively.

[0055] Table 1: Probe sequences

[0056] Example 1: A Pb 2+ The detection method comprises the following steps: taking 1.5 μL of the solution from the first container, taking 1.5 μL of the solution from the second container, taking 2 μL of the solution from the third container and the fourth container respectively, adding 4 μL of the solution from the fifth container to the solution to be tested, and adding 4 μL of the solution from the sixth container, mixing and reacting at 25° C. for 80 min; then adding 3 μL of the solution from the seventh container, mixing and reacting at 25° C. for 30 min; adding 50 μL of the solution from the eighth container, reacting at room temperature for 15 min; adding 50 μL of the solution from the tenth container to terminate the reaction; adding 82 μL of the solution from the eleventh container, and measuring the absorbance at 450 nm by a UV-visible spectrophotometer.

[0057] The recognition probe PD, hairpin probe H1, hairpin probe H2, hairpin probe H3, hairpin probe H4 and hairpin probe H5 are all dissolved in Tris-HCl buffer; hemin is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diluted in HEPES buffer.

[0058] Example 2: Pb 2+ Detection feasibility analysis.

[0059] In order to verify the feasibility of the above cascade amplification strategy design principle, PAGE with a concentration of 10% was used to characterize it. Figure 2 As shown, lanes 1-6 are PD, H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5 respectively; lane 7 is a mixture of PD, H1, H2, and H3, and no new bands are generated, indicating that the specific cleavage reaction of GR-5 DNAzymes and the CHA cycle reaction are not active in the absence of Pb. 2+ None of them can occur when Pb is present. PD, H1, H2, and H3 coexist in the reaction system.2+ Finally, a new bright band with a higher migration position and a new band with a lower position than the H1 band were observed in lane 8. At the same time, the bands corresponding to H1, H2, and H3 disappeared. The appearance of these two new bands and the disappearance of the three old bands proved that PD and Pb 2+ After binding, H1 is cleaved and the released initiator chain T successfully activates the CHA reaction to generate a stable H2-H3 complex. Lane 9 shows that in the absence of Pb 2+ When Pb was present, all the probes in the system were mixed and reacted. No new bands appeared, proving that the reactants could maintain their original stable state and coexist in the system. Compared with lanes 7 and 9, when Pb was added, 2+ After that, the corresponding bands of H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5 in lane 10 basically disappeared, and the band of H2-H3 complex produced by CHA reaction also basically disappeared. At the same time, a bright band with a higher migration position than H2-H3 and complex was generated, indicating that Pb 2+ The specific enzyme digestion reaction of GR-5 DNAzymes and the cascade signal amplification reaction of CHA and HCR were successfully triggered, and the new band at the highest migration position was the product of the HCR reaction. The above results confirmed that the designed method is feasible in principle.

[0060] The changes in the absorption spectra and colors of the solutions under different conditions were further verified by UV-visible spectrophotometer and smartphone camera. Figure 3 As shown, in the absence of Pb 2+ The absorption spectrum response intensity of the detection system is weak, and there is almost no color change, which proves that the DNA probes in the detection system have no self-hybridization phenomenon and coexist stably and independently, so they cannot form G-quadruplex DNAzymes; adding 25nM Pb 2+ After that, the response intensity of the absorption spectrum of the detection system was significantly enhanced, and the color change was significantly deepened, indicating that PD 2+ When H1 is catalyzed to cleave, it produces initiator chain T, which in turn triggers CHA and HCR cascade amplification reactions to generate HCR products containing multiple sticky ends. The G quadruplex fragments in the ends bind to hemin and catalyze TMB to produce color changes. These results show that the designed detection method can successfully detect Pb by colorimetry. 2+ And realize signal amplification.

[0061] Example 3: PD concentration optimization.

[0062] PD is a single-stranded DNA with catalytic activity. Its concentration can affect the signal amplification effect of the entire detection system by affecting its own catalytic efficiency. When the PD concentration is too high, the catalytic cleavage efficiency of PD on H1 is low, thereby weakening the signal amplification effect of the entire system. When the concentration is too high, the possibility of opening H1 increases with the increase of its concentration, thereby increasing the background signal. PD with concentrations of 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 nM was added to the reaction system, and the other conditions were kept unchanged according to the steps of Example 1 to optimize it. The results are as follows. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the PD concentration is 75 nM, the ratio of A / A0 is the largest. Therefore, the PD concentration of 75 nM was selected as the optimal condition.

[0063] Example 4: Optimization of hairpin probe H1 concentration.

[0064] The concentration of H1 has an important influence on the signal amplification efficiency and background signal of the system. When the concentration of H1 is too low, the signal amplification effect is poor. When the concentration is too high, H1 may trigger a nonspecific CHA cycle amplification reaction, which then activates the cascade HCR cycle and increases the background signal in the system. Hairpin probe H1 with concentrations of 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 nM was added to the reaction system, and the other conditions were kept unchanged according to the steps of Example 1 to optimize it. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the H1 concentration is 75 nM, the ratio of A / A0 is the largest. Therefore, the H1 concentration of 30 nM is selected as the optimal condition.

[0065] Example 5: Optimization of the concentration of hairpin probes H2 and H3.

[0066] As an important part of the cascade signal amplification reaction of the system, the concentrations of H2 and H3 have a significant impact on the final signal amplification efficiency of the system. When the concentrations of H2 and H3 are too low, the signal amplification effect will be poor. When the concentrations are too high, H2 and H3 may self-hybridize to form H2-H3 complexes, thereby inducing nonspecific HCR reactions, and ultimately leading to an increase in the background signal of the system. H2 and H3 at concentrations of 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 nM were added to the reaction system, and the other conditions were kept unchanged according to the steps of Example 1 and optimized. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, when the concentration of H2 and H3 is 100 nM, the ratio of A / A0 is the largest. Therefore, the concentration of H2 and H3 is 100 nM as the optimal condition.

[0067] Example 6: Optimization of the concentration of hairpin probes H4 and H5.

[0068] The G-quadruplex fragment is designed in the sequence of H4 and can be exposed through the HCR reaction. Therefore, the concentration of H4 and H5 affects the generation of the final signal of the system. Too low concentration of H4 and H5 will lead to poor signal amplification effect, and too high concentration may enhance the HCR background signal, thereby reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. Set the reaction concentration of 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 nM, and optimize it according to the steps of Example 1 while keeping other conditions unchanged. The results are shown in Figure 7 As shown, when the concentration of H1 and H2 is 200 nM, the ratio of A / A0 is the largest, so 200 nM is selected as the optimal concentration of H1 and H2 for the next experiment.

[0069] Example 7: Optimization of hemin concentration.

[0070] The enzyme activity of G-quadruplex DNAzymes is affected by the hemin concentration, which ultimately affects the detection performance of the system. When the hemin concentration is too low, hemin reduces the production of hemin / G-quadruplex DNAzymes, resulting in a decrease in the generation rate of the final signal of the system; when the hemin concentration is too high, the background signal in the system may be enhanced due to its own catalytic effect. The hemin concentrations were set to 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 nM respectively, and the hemin concentrations were optimized according to the steps of Example 1 while keeping other conditions unchanged. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the ratio of A / A0 was the highest when the concentration was 300 nM. Therefore, 300 nM was selected as the optimal reaction concentration of hemin for the next step of the experiment.

[0071] Example 8: Reaction time optimization.

[0072] Reaction time is also an important factor affecting the generation of reaction signals. Before the reaction reaches saturation, increasing the reaction time will make the cascade amplification reaction of the system more complete, thereby forming more G-quadruplex DNAzymes and obtaining more colorimetric signals. Reaction times of 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 min were selected, and the reaction time was optimized according to the steps of Example 1 while keeping other conditions unchanged. The results are shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, when the reaction time reaches 80 min, the reaction efficiency reaches the maximum and the ratio of A / A0 also reaches the maximum. Therefore, 80 min is selected as the optimal reaction time for the next step of the experiment.

[0073] Example 9: Reaction temperature optimization.

[0074] The reaction temperature has an important influence on the signal generation of the reaction system. When the temperature is too low, the reaction rate of the entire system is low; when the temperature is too high, it will cause nonspecific binding between hairpins, making the background signal higher. The reaction temperature was set to 4, 25, 37, and 45°C respectively. According to the steps of Example 1, keeping other conditions unchanged, the reaction temperature of the system was optimized. The results are shown in Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the ratio of A / A0 reaches the maximum at 25°C. Therefore, 25°C is selected as the optimal reaction temperature.

[0075] Example 10: Different concentrations of Pb 2+ Detect UV absorption spectrum.

[0076] In order to evaluate the detection performance of the designed detection method, after obtaining the optimal conditions, we used UV-visible spectrophotometer to measure a series of different concentrations of Pb 2+ The colorimetric signal responsiveness intensity in the wavelength range of 420-500nm. Fig.11 As shown in the figure, the colorimetric signal response intensity at 450 nm increases with the increase of Pb 2+ The concentration increases, which is because as Pb 2+ With the increase of concentration, the rate of PD-catalyzed cleavage of H1 increases, the initiator chain T is quickly generated and the CHA reaction is activated, so that the efficiency of H2-H3 complex generation is improved, and the reaction rate of HCR is also accelerated, producing more and longer HCR products, and finally achieving the enhancement of the colorimetric signal of the system. Fig.11 The results in the illustration show that the solution color of the detection system changes with the increase of Pb 2+ It gradually darkens with increasing concentration. Fig.12 Shows Pb 2+ The relationship between concentration and absorbance at 450nm, in the range of 0.05-50nM, Pb 2+ The logarithm of the concentration and the absorbance value of this method have a good linear relationship, and the linear equation is: A = 0.3845 + 0.1381lg·C, R 2 =0.9956; According to the ratio of three times the standard deviation of the blank sample to the slope, the calculated detection limit is 10.83pM.
