Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field, in particular to a fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cancer is one of the main causes of global deaths at present, and early diagnosis is particularly important for patients to develop treatment methods and recover prognosis. For breast cancer, for example, the current main methods for diagnosis and evaluation of efficacy are imaging and histopathology. The former is easily influenced by subjective factors such as the experience of clinicians and cannot accurately evaluate the efficacy; the latter is accurate and is the gold standard, but cannot timely understand the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs and is difficult to adjust the chemotherapy regimen in time, thus missing the best treatment opportunity. More importantly, because of the need for special equipment and personnel or sampling difficulties, these methods cannot achieve repeated detection. Therefore, it is particularly important to seek a new index that can timely reflect the efficacy and can be repeatedly detected to achieve the purpose of real-time efficacy monitoring of cancer.

[0003] Antigen-antibody (such as CEA, NSE, CYFRA21-1 and SCC, etc.), nucleic acid (ctDNA, circRNA, etc.) in serum are extremely valuable early markers for diagnosing lung cancer, and detecting such markers is a promising liquid biopsy method that can be repeatedly measured. However, the concentration of tumor markers in the serum of cancer patients, especially early cancer patients, is extremely low, and the matrix environment is complex, so it is extremely challenging to specifically and sensitively identify clinically relevant tumor markers for cancer diagnosis and specifically quantify them. Studies have shown that combined determination of multiple tumor markers can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy, but how to quantitatively analyze multiple markers with high sensitivity and high specificity from the blood of cancer patients is a problem to be solved.

[0004] Currently, the methods for detecting tumor markers in serum mainly include immunocolloidal gold test paper detection, colorimetric detection method, electrochemiluminescence detection, etc. The detection methods based on colloidal gold and colorimetric method have low sensitivity and cannot achieve simultaneous quantitative detection of multiple low-concentration lung cancer markers. The electrochemiluminescence method requires large instruments and professional personnel to manage detection, patients need to go to large hospitals and the detection price is expensive, which cannot achieve comprehensive screening, real-time monitoring of efficacy and recurrence of lung cancer. Microfluidic chips can precisely manipulate microscale sample solutions, integrate sample detection processes such as sample addition, mixing, enrichment, reaction, detection on the chip, and achieve sample-in and result-out without the need for professional personnel to operate, with the advantages of less sample and reagent consumption, fast detection speed, simple operation, multiple parallelism, etc.

[0005] Currently, microfluidics has been applied to many scenarios including allergen detection, myocardial marker detection, infectious pathogen detection, etc. However, the concentration of tumor markers is extremely low, the fluorescence background interference of biomolecules in blood, the fluorescence background interference of chip materials, the parallel detection of multiple markers, and the like, how to design and prepare a microfluidic chip to enhance the fluorescence signal of tumor markers in the blood of cancer patients while realizing real-time joint detection has important value.

[0066] Comparative Example 1

[0067] A substrate was prepared in this comparative example, and the preparation method was the same as in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 was that no polyelectrolyte layer was provided.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] This embodiment prepares a fluorescence-enhancing substrate, and the specific process is as follows:

[0070] A 0.5 mL mixture of sodium alginate (1 wt%), acrylamide (30 wt%), BIS (0.15 wt%), and LAP (1 wt%) was uniformly coated onto a circular glass slide (55 mm diameter; 1.1 mm thickness) and exposed to ultraviolet light (405 nm, 1200 mW / cm²). 2 After a 10-second fixation reaction under certain conditions, the mixture was immersed in 10 mL of 0.5 wt% silver nitrate solution for 5 minutes to form a multi-network gel containing noble metal ions. Subsequently, it was subjected to ultraviolet light (405 nm, 1200 mW / cm²). 2 Irradiated for 300s under deionized water, washed with 10mL of 1wt% calcium chloride for 5min crosslinking reaction, washed again with deionized water, and then dried in an oven at 55℃ to obtain the fluorescence-enhanced substrate.

[0071] Example 3

[0072] This embodiment prepares a fluorescence-enhancing substrate, and the specific process is as follows:

[0073] The substrate prepared in Example 1 was immersed in PBS (pH=7.4) solution containing 1 mL of 1000 ng / mL CEA antigen solution for 1 hour, and then washed with deionized water to modify the biomolecular recognition layer, thus obtaining a fluorescence-enhancing substrate with a noble metal-multilayer polyelectrolyte-biomolecular composite film.

[0074] Example 4

[0075] This embodiment describes the fabrication of a fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip, the specific process of which is as follows:

[0076] like Figure 2As shown, the fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip of the embodiment includes a substrate for fluorescence enhancement of target molecules in a sample (001), a cover sheet with a multi-channel structure for multi-process detection of the sample (002), and a channel for sample / reagent / waste liquid inflow / outflow / communication (003), which sequentially includes a sample loading area (201), a sample / reagent / waste liquid inflow channel (202), a detection area (203), a liquid storage area (204), and a waste liquid outflow channel (205) connected in sequence. The sample loading area is provided with a sample liquid loading hole (2011), a washing liquid loading hole (2012), and a reagent loading hole (2013); the sample or reagent inflow channel is provided with a sample liquid inflow channel (2021), a washing liquid inflow channel (2022), and a reagent inflow channel (2023); the detection area (204) is provided with a plurality of parallel detection holes (2031), the sample liquid loading hole (2011) is connected to the detection hole (2031) through the sample liquid inflow channel (2021), and the reagent loading hole (2013) is connected to the detection hole (2031) through the reagent inflow channel (2023); the detection area (203) on the fluorescence-enhanced substrate (001) is provided with an adhesion layer-precious metal-multilayer polyelectrolyte-biomolecule composite film (101) for fluorescence enhancement of target molecules in a sample, and the detection hole (2031) is placed on the adhesion layer-precious metal-polyelectrolyte-biomolecule composite film (101); the liquid storage area (204) is provided with a plurality of liquid storage grooves (2041).

[0077] The fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip is shown in the perspective view as Figure 3 .

[0078] The photolithography pattern is designed using CoreIDRA software, and after the pattern is exported, it is cut into a file format required by a maskless lithography machine through MATLAB software; 500 μL of SU-8-2050 negative photoresist is uniformly coated on the surface of a 2-inch diameter silicon wafer and placed in a spin coater for multi-step coating, pre-baked at 65°C for 3 minutes, post-baked at 95°C for 6 minutes, exposed to light using a maskless lithography machine, post-baked at 95°C for 6 minutes, developed using a developer (model: AZAOOK), fixed using isopropyl alcohol, and post-baked at 150°C for 3 minutes; a PDMS solution is prepared by taking a quantitative ratio of 1:100, uniformly coated on the patterned silicon wafer, vacuum degassed, and post-baked in a 65°C oven, and after molding, the cover sheet with a multi-channel structure for multi-process detection of the sample is cut.

[0079] After the substrate for fluorescence enhancement of target molecules in a sample and the cover sheet with a multi-channel structure for multi-process detection of the sample are bonded together after being subjected to plasma treatment for 20 seconds, they are placed in a 75-degree oven for 2 hours, connected through the channel for sample inflow / outflow / communication, and a fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip for simultaneous detection of multiple tumor markers is prepared.

[0080] The physical diagram of the fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip for multi-tumor marker joint detection is shown in Figure 4 .

[0081] The working process of the fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip for multi-tumor marker joint detection is as follows: when testing multi-tumor markers based on the double-antibody sandwich method, the sample liquid to be tested enters the sample liquid inflow channel (2021) through the sample liquid addition hole (2011), and then flows to each detection hole (2031) in the detection area. The target in the sample binds to the specific recognition molecules in the adhesion layer-noble metal-polyelectrolyte-biomolecule composite film (101) on the substrate (001) in the detection hole. The waste liquid flows out of the chip through the liquid storage area (204) and the waste liquid outflow channel (205). Then, the washing liquid enters the washing liquid inflow channel (2022) through the washing liquid addition hole (2012), and then flows to each detection hole (2031) in the detection area. The unbound components in the detection hole (2031) are washed away. The waste liquid flows out of the chip through the liquid storage area (204) and the waste liquid outflow channel (205). Finally, the detection fluorescent reagent enters the reagent inflow channel (2023) through the reagent addition hole (2023), and then flows to each detection hole (2031) in the detection area. The sample target to be tested specifically binds to the detection hole. The waste liquid flows out of the chip through the liquid storage area (204) and the waste liquid outflow channel (205). The biomolecule-target to be tested-biofluorescent molecule in the detection hole (2031) tests the fluorescence intensity under excitation light. Through the relationship between fluorescence intensity and target to be tested concentration, the concentration of the target to be tested is obtained. When testing multi-tumor markers based on the direct method, the surface layer of the isolation layer of the substrate (001) used for fluorescence enhancement of target molecules in the sample is not modified with specific antigen-antibody or nucleic acid molecule ligand, and other conditions remain unchanged.

[0082] Example 5

[0083] In this embodiment, the fluorescence-enhanced microfluidic chip for multi-tumor marker joint detection prepared in Example 4 is used for cancer marker detection. The specific process is as follows:

[0085] As can be seen from Figure 5 , a good linearity is presented in the range of 1-500 ng / mL of CEA-fitc antibody.

[0086] Test Example 1

[0087] The test example uses an enzyme marker to test the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of the base in Example 1 and Example 2 in the range of 350-800 nm, and the results are shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 .

[0089] As can be seen from Figure 7 , the ultraviolet absorption of the fluorescence-enhanced base in Example 2 is 480 nm, and the absorbance peak is about 1.75. The size of the in-situ grown silver nanoparticles is larger, the density is higher, and the nanoparticles are more stable. The construction of the noble metal-polyelectrolyte-biomolecule composite film is simpler.

[0090] Test Example 2

[0091] The test example uses an enzyme marker to test the fluorescence intensity of 1 μg / mL lung cancer marker FITC-labeled neuron-specific enolase (NES-FITC) in the base of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 under 465 nm excitation light and 535 nm emission light, and the results show that the base of Comparative Example 1 has no isolation layer, and the fluorescence intensity of NES-FITC attenuates by 25%.
