Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biosensors, and in particular relates to a cell electrochemical sensor and an application thereof in evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of capsaicin. Background Art

[0002] Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonanamide) is a derivative of benzylamine and the main compound in the capsaicinoid family, accounting for nearly 70% of the total number of capsaicinoids in spices. The content of capsaicinoids is an important quality indicator for commercial peppers and other peppers. Many people consider capsaicinoids to be the king of medicinal materials because they believe that it can bring many health benefits. It is reported that capsaicinoids not only increase the flavor of food, but also have a variety of pharmacological and physiological activities, including: analgesia, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, improve the gastrointestinal system, and lose weight. Among them, the natural anti-inflammatory ability of capsaicinoids can relieve symptoms such as arthritis, heart disease and diabetes, and reduce their risk of onset. Therefore, testing the intracellular anti-inflammatory activity of capsaicinoids has important clinical and practical significance.

[0003] The anti-inflammatory activity of capsaicin is a newly developed method. The anti-inflammatory activity test of capsaicin has obvious advantages because it simulates the cell growth process, including cell absorption and metabolism. At present, A549 cells are widely used as an in vitro model of type II alveolar epithelial cells and are the preferred cells for establishing an in vitro cell model of acute lung injury (ALI). Endotoxin is an important factor leading to ALI, and its main component lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays an important role in ALI. LPS-induced A549 cells can establish a more ideal in vitro inflammatory injury model of ALI. Nitric oxide (NO) was selected as a representative of inflammatory factors. Studies have shown that the amount of NO released from cells is proportional to the concentration of LPS, and capsaicin pretreatment can significantly reduce LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice. Therefore, the anti-inflammatory activity of capsaicin is evaluated by detecting the reduction in NO release.

[0004] The main methods for detecting nitric oxide include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, fluorescence, spectral analysis and chemical analysis. Spectral analysis includes infrared absorption spectroscopy and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. Chemical analysis mainly uses the determination of the reaction products of nitric oxide and other compounds to indirectly quantify the NO concentration. Common methods include Griess reagent method and iron salt method. However, due to the cumbersome detection steps of traditional methods, expensive detection reagents and the short half-life of NO, it is imperative to select a fast, simple, low-cost and efficient method for detecting nitric oxide.

[0005] Compared with other detection methods, electrochemical sensors have small electrode size, non-destructive analysis mode, minimal or no reagent requirements, high sensitivity, simplicity and low cost. Therefore, electrochemical detection is a feasible method for measuring NO released by cells. In the existing technology, the patent "A fluorescent probe compound for detecting nitric oxide, preparation method and application thereof" (CN118126073A) publishes a highly stable and highly selective nitric oxide fluorescent probe, but the preparation process of the probe is complicated and the preparation time is long. The patent "A fluorescent probe capable of separately and simultaneously detecting nitric oxide and nitrosyl, preparation method and application thereof" (CN116655692A) publishes a highly selective and non-invasive visual fluorescent detection probe, but the fluorescence is easily quenched and the fluorescence intensity is weak, which also reduces the detection effect. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to solve one of the problems; the present invention provides a cell electrochemical sensor and its use for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of capsaicin, which has outstanding advantages such as low cost, fast detection, simple operation, and strong miniaturization capability.

[0022] The use of cell-based electrochemical sensors to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of capsaicin is as follows:

[0023] Step 1: Preparation of cell-methacrylated gelatin hydrogel (GelMA);

[0024] (1) Dissolve gelatin in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), stir and then add methacrylate anhydride dropwise, stir evenly to obtain a mixed solution; then dilute the mixed solution 3-5 times with phosphate buffer to terminate the reaction and obtain a reaction solution; dialyze the reaction solution obtained in step 1 to obtain a dialysate; then filter the dialysate, and pre-freeze the obtained filtrate to obtain a GelMA prepolymer; wherein the amount of gelatin, phosphate buffer, and methacrylate anhydride is 5g:50ml:4-6ml; the stirring temperature is 50°C, when diluting with phosphate buffer, the temperature of the phosphate buffer is 50°C, and the dilution is 1 times each time; the dialysis temperature is 50°C, and the time is 7-14d; the filtration is performed using a membrane with a pore size of 0.22μm; the pre-freezing temperature is -20°C or -80°C, and the pre-freezing time is 5-10d.

[0025] (2) GelMA prepolymer was weighed into a brown bottle, and then PBS containing photoinitiator Irgacure 2959 was added. After dissolving in a warm bath, the solution was filtered to obtain a GelMA solution. The ratio of GelMA prepolymer to PBS was 0.25-1 g: 5 ml. The photoinitiator was Irgacure 2959, and the concentration in PBS was 0.5% (w / v). The temperature of the warm bath was 40° C., and the filtration was performed using a membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm.

[0026] (3) A549 cells were resuspended in GelMA solution to obtain a cell-GelMA solution, wherein the cell density was 10 6 / ml; then drop the cell-GelMA solution into each well of the 96-well plate and perform photocuring under ultraviolet light to form a cell-GelMA hydrogel, which is recorded as A549 / GelMA; the amount of cell-GelMA solution is 100μL, and the ultraviolet light conditions are: 405nm, 50mW / cm 2 , the light curing time is 30s;

[0027] Step 2: Establishment of LPS-induced A549 cell inflammation model

[0028] First, LPS solution was prepared with DMEM culture medium, with concentrations of 0 to 20 μg / ml; then, an equal volume of LPS solution was added to A549 / GelMA for induction treatment; after the induction treatment, the supernatant was taken as the test solution, and the cell electrochemical sensor was used for testing, and the DPV method was used to measure the change of the current signal, and the corresponding current value was recorded as ILPS; the induction treatment time was 24 hours;

[0029] Step 3: Capsaicin anti-inflammatory activity assay
