Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plasma exosome extraction, and specifically to a plasma exosome filtration extraction device and its usage method. Background Art
[0002] Exosomes are small vesicles with a diameter of about 30 - 150 nm secreted by living cells, having a typical lipid bilayer structure, and existing in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma, saliva, urine, amniotic fluid, and other biological fluids. Exosomes carry a variety of important information such as proteins, lipids, and RNAs. They not only play an important role in the material and information transfer between cells, but also are expected to become early diagnostic markers for various diseases. Tumors occur before tiny lesions can be detected by imaging. By using tumor cells, cfDNA, or exosomes in the blood and detecting the content of markers directly related to tumors such as cfDNA and CTC in the blood through means such as PCR and high-throughput sequencing, early tumors that cannot be identified by imaging can be discovered. Detecting tumors early and intervening can reduce the incidence and mortality of tumors.
[0003] The extraction of exosomes in the prior art generally includes the following process:
[0004] Step 1: Collect a peripheral blood sample from a volunteer using an anticoagulant tube containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and store it at room temperature for 10 min;
[0005] Step 2: After sample balancing, centrifuge at 500 x g for 10 min to remove formed elements such as cells and fibers in the blood. Then use a pipette tip to transfer the supernatant to a 2 mL sterile and enzyme-free EP tube;
[0006] Step 3: After EP tube balancing, set a low-temperature centrifuge at 4 °C and centrifuge at 3000 x g for 20 min to remove apoptotic bodies and cell debris, etc. Then, use a pipette tip to aspirate the supernatant and transfer it to a 2 mL sterile and enzyme-free EP tube;
[0007] Step 4: After EP tube balancing, set a low-temperature centrifuge at 4 °C and centrifuge at 12000 x g for 20 min to remove large vesicles. Then, use a pipette tip to collect the supernatant and transfer it to a 2 mL sterile and enzyme-free EP tube. Freeze it at -80 °C for 24 h;
[0008] Step 5: Take out the frozen sample, place it on ice to thaw. After the sample is completely thawed, balance the EP tube, and then obtain exosomes after filtration extraction and ultracentrifugation.
[0009] For the above-mentioned exosome extraction method, for example, there is also a method for separating and extracting exosomes disclosed in the publication number CN117721062A. The general steps include: Step 1: Mix the biological sample to be separated with PBS buffer in a certain proportion, and use a stirrer to stir it at a stirring speed of 60-180 rpm. In the present invention, by mixing the biological sample with PBS buffer, the structure and biological activity of exosomes can be better protected. By separating the precipitate from the supernatant, the supernatant is filtered through a dynamic filter membrane device, and the supernatant obtained after centrifugation of the washed filter membrane is collected. This is repeated at least twice to ensure the separation yield. The collected supernatant is centrifuged with an ultracentrifuge, and exosomes are separated and collected through a dynamic filter membrane device with a smaller pore size of the filter membrane, thereby improving the separation effect and purity; by using technical means such as stirring with a stirrer and centrifuging with a centrifuge, the exosomes in the biological sample can be effectively and quickly separated and extracted, so as to improve the separation and extraction efficiency;
[0010] Both of the above two processes point out that the main measures for exosome extraction are: filtration extraction, which generally includes processes such as low-temperature centrifugation, PBS shaking dilution, and filter filtration. Since this process is relatively cumbersome, manual operation is currently used in the existing technology. Manual operation has low efficiency when dealing with batch samples. Therefore, a plasma exosome filtration extraction device and its use method are needed to handle this filtration extraction process, which can batch and automate the treatment of exosome samples after steps 1-4, and further improve the efficiency of separating exosomes in the laboratory.

A track (404) is arranged on the bottom side of the T-shaped bracket (403), a driving unit is installed on the T-shaped bracket (403), the rack push plate (405) is slidably connected to the track (404), and the front end of the rack push plate (405) is close to the piston push plate (402).
8. A plasma exosome filtration and extraction device according to claim 7, characterized in that: The driving unit includes a motor B installed on the upper side of the T-shaped bracket (403) and a gear set (406) linked by a belt and a pulley. The gear set (406) includes three gears connected coaxially. The three gears are respectively engaged with the rack push plate (405) and push the rack push plate (405) to slide along the track (404) to push the piston push plate (402); the filter tube (407) is connected to the front end of the syringe body (401) through a connecting tube, and a plurality of filter layers for filtering exosome samples are arranged in the filter tube (407).
9. The plasma exosome filtration and extraction device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The output suction tube (203) is connected to the distribution rack (204) through the end of a flexible tube. The bottom side of the distribution rack (204) is branched into a plurality of distribution output heads (205). The number of the distribution output heads (205) matches the number of the oscillating tube modules (311) on the oscillating tray (310), and the distribution output heads (205) extend into the oscillating tube modules (311).
10. The method of using a plasma exosome filtration and extraction device according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that: Including steps: S1: Take out the frozen sample, thaw it on ice. After the sample is completely thawed, balance the EP tube, and then place the sample in a low-temperature centrifuge (1) for low-temperature centrifugation to remove large vesicles; S2: Use the input pump head and input suction tube of the dilution dispenser (2) to suck and collect the sample supernatant into the distribution bin (201). The distribution bin (201) is diluted by adding PBS diluent through the dilution tube (202), then pre-shake it with a shaker, and then use the output suction tube (203) to divert the diluted sample into a plurality of oscillating tube modules (311) of the oscillator (3); S3: Multiple oscillation tube modules (311) can achieve an oscillation effect by moving back and forth using an oscillation tray (310). After multiple reciprocating oscillations, the electromagnetic one-way valve (311d) at the bottom of the tube body (311a) opens, and the samples in multiple tube bodies (311a) converge through a confluence tube (311c) and flow into a syringe-type pre-filter; S4: The syringe-type pre-filter can utilize the meshing of a gear and a rack push plate (405) and a piston push plate (402). The piston push plate (402) can filter and push out the samples entering the syringe body (401), enabling the samples to enter the filter tube (407) at high speed for filtration to remove impurities. The filtered samples are collected through an exosome collection box (5) and completed exosome filtration and extraction after ultracentrifugation.
