Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of immunohistochemical detection, and in particular relates to a multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemical staining kit and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the treatment of malignant tumors has shifted from traditional surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a breakthrough in traditional anti-cancer methods. Although immunotherapy has better specificity and durability than traditional therapies, its therapeutic effect is still deeply affected by the internal environment in which tumors and tumor cells live, that is, the physical and chemical and cytokine environment of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an important factor in tumor occurrence, development, response and anti-tumor treatment, and plays an important role in tumor prognosis and the effect of anti-tumor drugs. The complete tumor microenvironment includes extracellular matrix (ECM), soluble molecules and storm cells.
[0003] In recent years, it has been found in the study of tumor microenvironment that tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are part of the monocytes infiltrating tumor tissues. They contain several subpopulations with different immunophenotypes and functions, such as CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, CD4+ helper T cells, B cells, and NK cells, and TILs are divided into TILs within the tumor-associated stroma, called sTILs, and TILs within tumor cell nests, called iTILs. Although TIL assessment has not yet been introduced into routine clinical / pathological practice, it is being integrated into biomarker discovery studies related to new immunotherapy trials and has the advantage of being able to quickly estimate tumor immune characteristics.
[0004] Tertiary lymphoid structures are a new hot spot in recent tumor immunotherapy. They are produced and exist near chronic inflammatory sites such as tumors, so they can more effectively inhibit related inflammatory responses than secondary lymphoid organs. Tertiary lymphoid structures are highly anticipated in tumor immunotherapy due to their direct location and powerful immune functions. They are composed of various types of immune cells, including antigen-specific B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and macrophages, which together drive immune responses against tumor development and progression.
[0005] The above-mentioned immune cells, macrophages and tumor cells express CD19 or CD20 on the surface of B cells through surface proteins, and T cells are divided into CD4+ effector T cells and CD8+ toxic T cells according to their expression of CD4 or CD8. Regulatory T cells express FOXP3+; CD68 is a typical surface marker protein of macrophages, and M2 macrophages express CD163. PanCK is a classic surface marker protein of tumor cells. At present, there is a lack of detection methods that can simultaneously study the number, location and spatial relationship of the above-mentioned immune cells and tumor cells, and explore the relationship between different combinations of biomarkers in the immune microenvironment and prognosis of patients with different cancer types.
[0006] In order to fully and accurately characterize the expression of the above-mentioned immune cells and their interactions in the immune microenvironment, it is necessary to detect these markers in situ at the same time. Although the existing multiple fluorescent immunohistochemistry kits can perform multi-label detection and analysis, the effects of these multiple immunohistochemistry staining kits are not the same. The selected substrate dyes are prone to spectral cross-coloring, which affects the analysis of the staining effect. In addition, the traditional staining method will affect the staining formed in the previous round during elution, and additional reagents such as staining enhancers are often required, and the test results are not accurate enough. In addition, due to the limited selection of spectral dyes, existing kits can often only support up to 6 markers for simultaneous labeling and staining. There is an urgent need to construct new dye systems and staining methods to achieve more multiple labeling and staining, so as to achieve more accurate analysis of the detection of different biomarkers in the immune microenvironment. Summary of the invention

[0106] 6. Primary antibody incubation: Three marker antibodies were selected from tumor microenvironment-related markers for verification, namely FoxP3, CD4, and PD1. The primary antibody treatment and incubation were the same as in Example 1.
[0107] 7. Secondary antibody incubation: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0108] 8. Secondary antibody elution treatment: Set different conditions by adjusting the microwave treatment time and repair solution. The specific information is shown in Table 8: Table 8

[0112] Observation was performed by confocal microscopy / fluorescence microscopy (see the results). Figure 5-Figure 7 ), and compared with comparative example 2, it was found that through the improved microwave treatment method, no obvious positive staining phenomenon was observed under the three elution times, whether in citric acid repair solution or EDTA repair solution, and only DAPI nuclear staining signal was seen, indicating that the primary antibody-secondary antibody complex can be completely eluted by microwave treatment under this elution mode, and the minimum total elution time can also be applied to the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining.
[0113] Embodiment 6: In order to test the effect of the improved elution method on the antibody after multiple rounds of elution, low-abundance expressed markers were selected, stained normally with single staining, and then eluted for different times. The specific processing conditions are as follows: 1. Baking the slices: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0114] 2. Dewaxing and hydration: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.

[0117] 5. Non-specific site blocking: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0118] 6. Primary antibody incubation: Two low-abundance marker antibodies were selected from tumor microenvironment-related markers for verification, namely FoxP3 and CD56. The primary antibody treatment and incubation were the same as in Examples 1 and 2.
[0119] 7. Secondary antibody incubation: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0120] 8. Add TSA570 substrate for staining: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.

[0124] Observation was performed using a confocal microscope / fluorescence microscope (results are shown in Table 10), and compared with Comparative Example 3, it was found that different rounds of elution were performed in a citric acid repair solution containing Tween-20 through the improved microwave treatment method. It was found that after 8 rounds of repair and elution, the antibody staining signal remained the same as before elution, but in the EDTA repair solution, the antibody staining signal gradually decreased after 8 rounds of repair and elution, indicating that EDTA was too strong when used as an elution repair solution, which was prone to excessive elution, indicating that the citric acid repair solution containing Tween-20 in this elution mode can be used as the main elution solution type, and at the same time, the effect of Tween-20 in the citric acid repair solution on the repair solution was discussed. After comparison, it was found that the citric acid repair solution containing Tween-20 basically maintained a stable fluorescence intensity in multiple rounds of repair, while the citric acid repair solution without Tween-20 had a slightly reduced fluorescence intensity after multiple rounds of repair, indicating that the citric acid repair solution (containing Tween-20) is suitable for the main elution repair solution under the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining.
[0125] Table 10
[0126] Comparative Example 1: In order to verify the feasibility of AIE tyramide compounds in multicolor labeling, so that they do not cause cross-color interference with adjacent spectral dyes, the Stokes shift of each compound was used for verification and selection, and finally TSA 480 or TSA520 was used to double-stain with each compound to verify cross-color interference. The specific operation steps are the same as those in Example 1. The specific staining rounds and primary antibody and substrate reagent information are shown in Table 11: Table 11
[0127] Among them, the dye spectrum data and usage concentration of the AIE compound are shown in Table 12: Table 12
[0128] It can be seen that through the compound screening of this comparative example, the adjacent narrow spectrum dyes are used for double staining imaging (results are shown in Figure 8-Figure 11 ), it can be found that when double staining with AIE compound (I) and TSA 480, AIE compound (II) and TSA 480, CD8 shows single channel imaging staining and double staining synthesis Figure 1 The results show that the cross-talk between compounds (I) and (II) and TSA 480 is small, while when AIE compound (III) and TSA 520, AIE compound (IV) and TSA 480 are used for double staining, it is found that there is partial cross-talk between AIE compound (III) and TSA 520, which is manifested in that the CD8 staining signal is partially interfered by CD4; there is also slight cross-talk between AIE compound (IV) and TSA 480. AIE compounds (III) and (IV) cannot be combined with other dyes for multiple imaging during multiple staining, while AIE compounds (I) and (II) have little cross-talk with adjacent spectral dyes and can be used as multiple staining for labeling imaging. This shows that when the Stokes shift is ≥150nm, the cross-talk interference of dyes is small and multiple labeling imaging can be performed.
[0129] Comparative Example 2: Compared with the existing commonly used elution methods, the microwave treatment antibody elution method was explored using single staining, including microwave treatment time, selection of repair solution, etc. The specific treatment conditions are as follows: 1.

[0135] 7. Secondary antibody incubation: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0136] 8. Secondary antibody elution treatment: Different conditions are set by adjusting the microwave treatment time and repair solution. The specific information is shown in Table 13: Table 13
[0137] 9. Add TSA570 substrate for staining: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0138] 10. Add DAPI for counterstaining: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0139] 11. Anti-fluorescence quenching agent sealing: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0140] Observation was performed by confocal microscopy / fluorescence microscopy (see the results). Figure 12-14 ), and compared with Example 5, it was found that under this microwave treatment method, no obvious fluorescent staining signal remained on the slice at the 20 min elution time, indicating that the primary antibody-secondary antibody complex can also be eluted by microwave treatment under this elution mode, but considering the subsequent use of multiple rounds of repair treatment, this elution mode prolongs the time of maintaining medium and low heat, increases the elution intensity, and easily causes excessive antigen repair, and is not suitable for the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining.
[0141] Comparative Example 3: In order to compare the effects of existing elution methods on antibodies after multiple rounds of elution, low-abundance expressed markers were selected, and normal staining was performed using single staining. Then, different elution times were performed with reference to Comparative Example 2. The specific treatment conditions are as follows: 1. Baking the slices: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.

[0143] 3. Antigen retrieval: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0144] 4. Endogenous peroxidase site blocking: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0145] 5. Non-specific site blocking: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0146] 6. Primary antibody incubation: Two low-abundance marker antibodies were selected from tumor microenvironment-related markers for verification, namely FoxP3 and CD56. The primary antibody treatment and incubation were the same as in Examples 1 and 2.
[0147] 7. Secondary antibody incubation: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0148] 8. Add TSA570 substrate for staining: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0149] 9. Antibody complex elution treatment: By adjusting different elution treatment times to simulate multiple rounds of elution in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemistry, different conditions can be set. The specific information is shown in Table 14: Table 14

[0151] 11. Anti-fluorescence quenching agent sealing: The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0152] Observation by confocal microscopy / fluorescence microscopy (results in Table 15) revealed that the microwave treatment resulted in a decrease in staining intensity with increasing elution rounds in both citric acid repair solution and EDTA repair solution, indicating that the citric acid and EDTA used as elution repair solutions were too strong under this elution mode and could easily cause over-elution, indicating that this elution mode is not suitable for elution in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining.
[0153] Table 15
[0154] The results of the embodiments and comparative examples are analyzed: Example 1 is a seven-fold staining method for multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical detection of tumor microenvironment-related markers in tonsil tissue using molecular formula (I), from Figure 1 It can be seen that the combination of aggregation-induced emission tyramide substrate and narrow spectrum dye can achieve the detection of seven markers of tumor microenvironment.
[0155] Example 2 is an 8-fold staining method for multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical detection of tumor microenvironment-related markers in tonsil tissue using molecular formula (I), from Figure 2 It can be seen that the combination of aggregation-induced luminescence tyramide substrate and narrow spectrum dye can realize the detection of 8 markers of tumor microenvironment, effectively expanding the number of detection multiplexes.
[0156] Example 3 is a seven-fold staining method for multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical detection of tumor microenvironment-related markers in tonsil tissue using molecular formula (II), from Figure 3 It can be seen that the combination of aggregation-induced emission tyramide substrate and narrow spectrum dye can achieve the detection of seven markers of tumor microenvironment.
[0157] Example 4 is an 8-fold staining method for multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical detection of tumor microenvironment-related markers in tonsil tissue using molecular formula (II), from Figure 4 It can be seen that the combination of aggregation-induced luminescence tyramide substrate and narrow spectrum dye can realize the detection of 8 markers of tumor microenvironment, effectively expanding the number of detection multiplexes.
[0158] Example 5 is a single staining to explore the microwave treatment antibody elution method, from Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 It can be seen that no obvious positive staining phenomenon was observed under the three elution times, and only DAPI nuclear staining signals were seen, indicating that the primary antibody-secondary antibody complex can be completely eluted by microwave treatment under this elution mode, and the minimum total elution time can also be applied to the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining.
[0159] Example 6 is a method for testing the effect of the improved elution method on the antibody after multiple rounds of elution. From Table 10, it is found that after 8 rounds of elution with citric acid repair solution, the antibody staining signal remains the same as before elution, but in EDTA repair solution, after 8 rounds of repair elution, the antibody staining signal gradually decreases, indicating that EDTA is too strong when used as an elution repair solution, which can easily cause excessive elution, indicating that in this elution mode, citric acid repair solution can be used as the main elution solution type, which is suitable for the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining.
[0160] Comparative Example 1 is to select AIE compound (I), AIE compound (II), AIE compound (III), and AIE compound (IV) to verify the screening method of double dyeing of compounds with different Stokes shift spectral characteristics with adjacent narrow spectrum dyes (TSA 480, TSA 520), from Figure 8 , Fig. 9 It can be seen that when using compound (I) and compound (II), the single channel image of CD8 in double staining is consistent with the imaging results in the combined image, indicating that the compound and the dye do not produce cross-color interference; Fig.10 , Fig.11 It can be seen that when using compound (III) and compound (IV), the imaging results of CD8 in the single channel image in double staining are different from those in the combined image. CD8 imaging is interfered by the CD4 staining signal, indicating that the compound and the dye produce cross-color interference and are not suitable for multiple staining labeling.
[0161] Comparative Example 2 is a commonly used elution method, using single staining to explore the microwave treatment antibody elution method. Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.14It can be seen that the primary antibody-secondary antibody complex can also be eluted by microwave treatment in this elution mode. However, considering the subsequent use of multiple rounds of repair treatment, this elution mode prolongs the time of maintaining medium and low heat, increases the elution intensity, and easily causes excessive antigen repair. It is not suitable for the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining.
[0162] Comparative Example 3 is a single staining test method that compares the effects of existing elution methods on antibodies after multiple rounds of elution. It can be found from Table 15 that the staining intensity decreases with the increase in elution rounds in both the citric acid repair solution and the EDTA repair solution through this microwave treatment method, indicating that the citric acid and EDTA are too strong when used as elution repair solutions under this elution mode, which can easily cause excessive elution, indicating that this elution mode is not suitable for the elution method in multiple fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining.
[0163] In the present invention, multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining technology is used to detect relevant markers of tumor microenvironment through the combination of aggregation-induced luminescence tyramide substrate and enzyme-catalyzed signal amplification technology of narrow-spectrum tyramide substrate. Compared with the existing multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining technology, the staining method using the above embodiment can make full use of the spectral properties of different dyes, thereby expanding the number of detection multiplexes, and is more conducive to clear in situ observation of immunochromogenic indicator markers. In addition, the staining method utilizes an improved antibody elution mode, so that the staining effect of the previous round of antibodies is not affected by the subsequent microwave antibody elution operation.
[0164] The present invention illustrates the technical solution of the present invention through the above-mentioned embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above-mentioned embodiments to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvement of the present invention, equivalent replacement of the compounds selected by the present invention, addition of auxiliary components in the application method system, selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
