Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of analysis and detection, and in particular to a method for detecting cigarette smoke exposure biomarkers based on nanofiber solid phase extraction. Background Art

[0002] Traditional tobacco products have been a consumer product for hundreds of years. However, the health disadvantages of traditional tobacco products are becoming increasingly prominent, and the impact of smoking and secondhand smoke on human health has always attracted much attention. Tobacco products react chemically through the burning of tobacco, releasing various chemical substances including nicotine, nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, crotonaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, benzene and other toxic and harmful compounds. At the same time, they also release high concentrations of nitrogen oxides, free radicals and other substances that induce oxidative stress reactions in organisms. In order to evaluate the safety of tobacco products, some national regulatory agencies have begun to use the method of detecting biomarkers to conduct health and safety risk assessments on tobacco products. Biomarkers in cigarette smoke can reflect the actual exposure or in vivo dose of tobacco products to human bodies, and measuring their concentration levels can more accurately evaluate the safety performance of tobacco products.

[0003] However, the current analysis methods of tobacco-related biomarkers are mainly limited to a single or a few compounds, and there is no method that can simultaneously monitor multiple biomarkers. Biomarkers in biological samples are still a hot topic and difficult to study because of their complex composition and usually low concentration.

[0004] Currently, the common methods used for separation, enrichment and purification of metabolites in biological samples mainly include liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), solid phase extraction (SPE), solid phase microextraction (SPME), etc. Among them, LLE consumes a large amount of organic solvents, SPE consumes a large amount of extraction fillers and organic solvents, and solid phase microextraction is expensive and not suitable for the detection of large quantities of samples.

[0005] In recent years, nanofiber-based solid phase extraction devices and apparatuses, such as Chinese patents 200210123148.5, 200910033559.3, and 20102050026.X, have overcome the shortcomings of the existing SPE technology, such as expensive devices and complicated operations. In addition, they have low cost, simple structure, easy installation and use, save manpower, and can process samples in batches.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned existing technologies still have some defects: whether they can realize the simultaneous and rapid detection of multiple cigarette smoke exposure biomarkers in different biological samples, and the existing smoke exposure biomarker detection methods have the limitation of small target coverage, and the existing sample pretreatment uses a large amount of organic solvents and the pretreatment is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0007] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for detecting cigarette smoke exposure biomarkers based on nanofiber solid phase extraction to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

This method first uses a polystyrene / polypyrrole nanofiber solid phase extraction column to enrich and concentrate the target substances in the liver, lungs, blood and urine of experimental animals, and then uses liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to detect multiple target substances. This method achieves simultaneous and rapid detection of multiple cigarette smoke exposure biomarkers in different biological samples, solving the limitation of the small target coverage of existing smoke exposure biomarker detection methods, and also solves the problem of large amount of organic solvents used in existing sample pretreatment and cumbersome and time-consuming pretreatment.

[0036] Table 1 Retention time and mass spectrometry conditions of the target compounds

[0037]

[0038] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Preparation of nanofibers: The preparation process of polystyrene nanofibers is as follows: First, accurately weigh 1.0g of polystyrene particles and dissolve them in a mixed solvent composed of tetrahydrofuran and N,N-dimethylformamide (V:V=4:6), add a magnet, and stir the solution at 25° using a magnetic stirrer for 12 hours as a spinning solution. Quickly load the electrospinning solution into a glass syringe with a stainless steel needle, install a No. 6 stainless steel needle with a diameter of 0.6mm, and keep the needle horizontal during the spinning process. Use a wire to connect the stainless steel needle to the positive pole of the high-voltage power supply, and place a collecting screen connected to the negative pole of the power supply 22cm away from the stainless steel needle. Adjust the voltage to 23kV and the liquid delivery rate to 1.5mL / h. The prepared nanofibers fall on the aluminum collecting screen to form a mesh. The preparation process of polystyrene / polypyrrole nanofibers is as follows: First, a piece of polystyrene nanofiber is immersed in a 0.04 mol / L concentration of pyrrole solution, and FeCl3 solution (0.084 mol / L) is added to the solution to initiate the polymerization of pyrrole into polypyrrole and deposit on the surface of polystyrene. Then, the mixture is vigorously stirred for 2 hours until the appearance of the polystyrene nanofiber changes from white to black, which is a symbol of the end point of the reaction, indicating that the polystyrene / polypyrrole nanofiber is successfully prepared. After washing several times with water, the polystyrene / polypyrrole nanofiber is dried in a vacuum drying oven before use.

[0041] Filling and activation of nanofiber solid phase extraction column: Weigh 5 mg of polystyrene / polypyrrole composite nanofibers and fill them in the solid phase extraction column. Before use, take 200 μL of methanol and 200 μL of distilled water to activate the nanofibers. The solid phase extraction column can use the extractor shell disclosed in Chinese patent 2005101231485 or 201020500026X.

[0042] Nanofiber characterization: The nanofiber solid phase extraction material polystyrene / polypyrrole was characterized by SEM and TEM methods. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the particle size of polystyrene / polypyrrole nanofibers is relatively uniform and the surface is smooth. Compared with polystyrene nanofibers, the diameter of nanofibers after being composited with polypyrrole is increased. The structural characteristics of polystyrene and polystyrene / polypyrrole composite nanofibers were studied by FTIR. In the spectrum of polystyrene / polypyrrole fibers, some absorption bands of polystyrene overlap with those of polypyrrole, and other characteristic peaks of polystyrene are weakened (as shown in the red box). 1454cm -1 , 3025cm -1 The characteristic peaks at 1548 cm are attributed to the CH and C=C stretching vibrations of the benzene ring in the spectra of polystyrene and polystyrene / polypyrrole. -1 and 1475cm -1The characteristic peaks observed at 1182 cm-1 are related to the fundamental vibration of the pyrrole ring in the polystyrene / polypyrrole spectrum, while they are not observed in the polystyrene spectrum, indicating that the polypyrrole nanofibers were successfully coated on the surface of polystyrene. In addition, the peaks of CN stretching vibration and CH in-plane vibration are 1182 cm-1, -1 and 1042cm -1 , while the CC deformation vibration corresponds to 916cm -1 , which further proves that the polystyrene / polypyrrole composite nanofibers were successfully prepared.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Experimental rats that have not been exposed to smoke were used as sampling objects, and their liver, lungs, blood, urine and other tissues were collected as blank samples. The lungs and liver were added with Sorensen buffer (buffer composed of Na2HPO4 and KH2PO4, pH 6.8) at a ratio of weight (g): volume (mL) = 1:9, and then homogenized with a handheld homogenizer after adding different concentrations of target standard solutions. 200μL of the organ homogenate was added with 120μL of 5% perchloric acid solution and vortexed for 5 minutes, and then 10μL of cortisol-D4 was added as an internal standard to make its concentration in the sample 100ng / mL, and then centrifuged at 12000rpm for 10min to take the supernatant as the test solution. Take 200 μL of plasma sample and add different concentrations of target standard solution, then add 120 μL of 5% perchloric acid solution and vortex for 5 minutes, then centrifuge at 12000rpm for 10 minutes to take the supernatant, then add 10 μL of cortisol-D4 as an internal standard to make its concentration in the sample 100 ng / mL, and use the above mixed solution as the plasma sample test solution. Take 1 mL of urine and add 10 μL of β-glucuronidase / arylsulfatase to incubate at 37°C for 4 hours, take 500 μL of the above solution and add different concentrations of target, then add 10 μL of cortisol-D4 as an internal standard to make its concentration in the sample 100 ng / mL, and use the above mixed solution as the urine sample test solution. Pass the sample solution with different concentrations of target through a polystyrene / polypyrrole solid phase extraction column and elute with 50 μL of methanol, and the obtained eluate is detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. This method uses the internal standard quantitative method to draw the working curve. The detection limit and quantification limit of the detection method are calculated by the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N). The detection limit (LOD) is S / N ≥ 3, and the quantification limit (LOQ) is S / N ≥ 10. The specific data are shown in Table 1.

[0055] As can be seen from the table above, the targets in liver tissue have a good linear relationship within the detection range, and the correlation coefficients are all greater than 0.99. The LOD of the target is 0.04-2.0ng / mL, and the LOQ is 0.15-6.6ng / mL. The targets in lung tissue have a good linear relationship within the detection range, and the correlation coefficients are all greater than 0.99. The LOD of the target is 0.04-2.9ng / mL, and the LOQ is 0.13-9.8ng / mL. The targets in plasma have a good linear relationship within the detection range, and the correlation coefficients are all greater than 0.99. The LOD of the target is 0.04-2.9ng / mL, and the LOQ is 0.13-9.8ng / mL. There is a good linear relationship within the detection range, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.99, the LOD of the target is 0.15-3.2ng / mL, and the LOQ is 0.5-10.8ng / mL; each target in urine has a good linear relationship within the detection range, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.99, the LOD of the target is 0.02-2.7ng / mL, and the LOQ is 0.06-9.0ng / mL. This method can meet the detection needs of various cigarette smoke markers in various tissue samples.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Mixed standard solutions were added to various biological blank samples to make the target concentrations 20.0 ng / ml, 100 ng / ml and 400 ng / ml, respectively. Five samples were prepared in parallel for each addition level, and the samples were processed according to Example 2 and then measured on the machine. The recovery rate and relative standard deviation (RSD) were calculated based on the solvent working curve. The recovery rate and precision test results are shown in Table 2.

The recovery rate and stability of this method can meet the detection requirements of cigarette smoke markers in various tissue samples.
