Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of flow cytometry analysis, and particularly relates to a corn leaf cell nucleus dissociation solution suitable for flow cytometry analysis and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of cross-research between modern biology and agricultural science, flow cytometry, as a powerful analytical tool, plays a key role in cell-level research, especially for the analysis of corn leaf cell nuclei, which can provide indispensable high-precision data and in-depth insights for plant genetics, developmental biology, and crop breeding and many other research directions. The cell nuclei of plant tissues, if directly separated from tissues or organs, such as corn leaf tissue cell nuclei, have irreplaceable value in scientific exploration. Their natural state is completely preserved, which means that the preservation of the original genomic information of the cell nuclei is almost complete, providing the most authentic and reliable sample basis for the study of genetic material. At the same time, in the actual operation process, this direct separation method is relatively simple and efficient, without the need for complex technology and equipment support, so that various types of research laboratories can more conveniently carry out related research work, greatly promoting the popularization and in-depth research of corn leaf cell nuclei.
[0003] At present, common plant cell nucleus separation methods include liquid nitrogen grinding method, mechanical method, and protoplast preparation method, etc. These methods aim to successfully separate the cell nuclei from the leaf tissue, so as to be directly applied to subsequent scientific research, such as chromatin accessibility analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and other transformation experiments. Directly separated corn leaf tissue cell nuclei have significant advantages, with short off-body time, effectively avoiding changes in cell physiological state and loss of genetic information caused by long off-body time. Moreover, since it does not undergo immortalization process, its biological characteristics are highly consistent with the real state in vivo, with stable and reliable genetic characteristics, so as to provide researchers with data closest to the actual physiological function of the cell nuclei in vivo, which is of great significance for in-depth understanding of the life activity rules and genetic regulation mechanisms of corn leaf cells.
[0004] However, when using flow cytometry to analyze corn leaf cell nuclei, the key step of cell nucleus staining faces many technical difficulties. Since the cell nucleus is tightly wrapped by a special lipid bilayer membrane, the fluorescent probe must penetrate this barrier to achieve effective staining of the cell nucleus, and then meet the detection requirements of flow cytometry. In theory, the size of the fluorescent probe should be less than 8nm of nuclear pore, so as to have the possibility of entering the cell nucleus, but in fact, just meeting this size condition is far from enough, because whether the probe can successfully enter the cell nucleus is also significantly affected by many factors such as its surface properties.
[0005] In traditional nuclear staining studies, organic dyes such as 4',6-diamidinyl-2-phenylindole and Hurst dyes have been widely used for staining the nuclei of cancer cells and normal cells due to their biocompatibility. However, these organic dyes have insurmountable drawbacks: their poor water solubility leads to aggregation in aqueous environments, making it difficult to ensure staining uniformity and thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of flow cytometry. Furthermore, their insufficient photostability causes a rapid decrease in fluorescence intensity during flow cytometry analysis, especially under prolonged laser irradiation (photobleaching), resulting in unstable detection signals. This makes them unsuitable for high-precision, long-term detection and analysis of cell nuclei, severely limiting their further application in flow cytometry analysis of maize leaf cell nuclei. On the other hand, semiconductor quantum dots, such as cadmium telluride and cadmium selenide quantum dots, have also shown potential in the field of cell fluorescence imaging. However, these quantum dots pose serious safety risks. They contain heavy metals, such as cadmium, which are highly toxic and may trigger a series of adverse physiological reactions in living organisms. This can interfere with normal cellular metabolism and function and threaten the health of the entire organism, leading to strict safety limitations in bioimaging, especially in flow cytometry. Furthermore, without complex modifications, semiconductor quantum dots have low efficiency in penetrating the nuclear membrane and entering the cell nucleus, making it difficult to achieve efficient staining and accurate analysis of the cell nucleus, thus failing to meet the high-quality staining requirements of flow cytometry for nuclear samples. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an efficient and simple dissociation solution and dissociation method for maize leaf cell nuclei, which can be used for flow cytometry detection of maize leaf cell nuclei.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: This invention provides an application of maize leaf cell nucleus dissociation solution suitable for flow cytometry analysis, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Further, the carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe is prepared by the following steps:
[0014] S1. Adding 3,3',6,6'-tetracarboxylic acid-2,2'-dipyridyl to a mixed solution of ethylene glycol and DMF, and then ultrasonically treating for 10-15 min to obtain a first solution, and then adding the first solution into a polytetrafluoroethylene hydrothermal reactor, adding 0.5 mol / L of a DMF solution of perfluoroiodohexane and an organic metal initiator, and hydrothermally reacting at 180-220℃ for 3-15 h;
[0015] S2. After the reaction is completed, the hydrothermal reactor is cooled to room temperature to obtain a second solution, which is filtered and dialyzed for purification;
[0016] S3. The dialyzed and purified solution is subjected to solvent removal under reduced pressure, and then dried to obtain the carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe.
[0017] Further, the mass ratio of 3,3',6,6'-tetracarboxylic acid-2,2'-dipyridyl, ethylene glycol and DMF in the first solution of step S1 is 0.5-2:10-20:20-50.
[0018] Further, the mass ratio of the first solution, the DMF solution of perfluoroiodohexane and the organic metal initiator in step S1 is 10-30:5-10:0.01-0.05.
[0019] Further, the organic metal initiator is selected from one of acetylferrocene, tris(acetylacetone) iron, diethyl zinc and dichlorobis cyclopentadienyl zirconium.
[0020] Further, the filtration in step S2 uses a water-based filter membrane with a pore size of 0.2 μm or 0.22 μm.
[0021] Further, the dialysis in step S2 uses a dialysis bag with a cut-off amount of 1 kD for dialysis for 12-18 h.
[0022] The present invention also provides a maize leaf cell nucleus dissociation solution suitable for flow cytometry analysis, the dissociation solution being composed of the following components: 4 mol / L MES-KOH solution with pH=5.7, 5 mol / L NaCl solution, 1 mol / L KCl solution, 1 mol / L MgCl2 solution, 0.5 mol / L EDTA solution, and 4 mol / L sucrose solution.
[0023] Furthermore, the volume ratio of MES-KOH solution, NaCl solution, KCl solution, MgCl2 solution, EDTA solution and sucrose solution in the dissociation solution is 5:4:20:6:10:125.
[0024] Furthermore, the dissociation cleaning solution consists of the following components: 4 mol / L MES-KOH solution with pH=5.7, 5 mol / L NaCl solution, 1 mol / L KCl solution, 1 mol / L MgCl2 solution, and 4 mol / L sucrose solution.
[0025] Furthermore, the volume ratio of MES-KOH solution, NaCl solution, KCl solution, MgCl2 solution and sucrose solution in the dissociation cleaning solution is 5:4:20:6:125.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0027] a. This invention develops a novel method for dissociating maize leaf cell nuclei. Using a compound maize leaf cell nuclei dissociation solution, the maize leaf tissue is immersed in the solution, and then dissociation is achieved by scratching with a blade. This method allows for rapid acquisition of maize leaf cell nuclei in a short time. Compared with traditional liquid nitrogen grinding and digestion techniques, this invention effectively solves the problem of excessive material loss, significantly reduces sample waste, and significantly reduces the contamination level of tissue fragments, improving the purity and quality of the obtained cell nuclei. This provides a more reliable sample basis for subsequent experimental research. Furthermore, compared with mechanical cutting and separation methods, the dissociation effect of this invention is more complete, and the required tissue volume is greatly reduced, no longer requiring more than 1g of tissue. This is of great significance for precious and scarce samples, greatly saving sample resources and enabling scientific research to be carried out smoothly even with small sample sizes, providing strong support for the further expansion of related research fields.
[0028] b. This invention uses 3,3',6,6'-tetracarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine as the key starting material to prepare carbon quantum dots. During the preparation process, an organometallic initiator is introduced to trigger the decomposition of perfluoroiodohexane to generate fluorine radicals or fluoride ions, thereby doping the carbon quantum dots with fluorine. The carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe prepared by this invention has a unique structure with dual nitrogen and fluorine doping. First, it does not contain heavy metal elements, reducing cytotoxicity and minimizing interference with cellular physiological states in applications such as cell imaging, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. Second, it exhibits excellent photostability, maintaining stable fluorescence performance even under prolonged illumination, providing a solid guarantee for long-term, high-precision nuclear imaging. Third, its small size allows it to easily penetrate the cell nucleus membrane structure, meeting the requirements for staining and imaging within the cell nucleus. Furthermore, this fluorescent probe exhibits good solubility in complex aqueous environments containing various metal ions, ensuring its stability and reliability in practical applications, adapting to various complex experimental conditions, and providing reliable support for precise and stable nuclear imaging.

[0063] Experimental Example 1
[0064] Carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe particle size analysis
[0065] The average particle size distribution of Example 4 was measured using a dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer, and the results are shown below. Figure 1 .
[0066] Depend on Figure 2 It is evident that the carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe prepared in Example 3 has a particle size of less than 8 nm, which meets the requirements for entering the cell nucleus. This result directly demonstrates the advantages of the carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe preparation scheme of this invention. By precisely controlling the proportion of raw materials and reaction conditions, this invention successfully prepared probes with suitable particle sizes. The smaller particle size allows them to penetrate the lipid bilayer membrane of the cell nucleus, overcoming the obstacle of traditional fluorescent probes being unable to enter the cell nucleus due to particle size issues. This provides the possibility for subsequent precise staining and analysis of the cell nucleus, ensuring that more accurate and detailed information about the inside of the cell nucleus can be obtained. This is of great significance for in-depth research on the structure and function of the cell nucleus. For example, when studying the distribution and state of chromatin, it can more clearly present its true situation within the cell nucleus, avoiding information loss due to the inability of the probe to enter.

[0070] Depend on Figures 2-4Free of heavy metals, this invention exhibits low cytotoxicity. The carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe utilizes an organometallic initiator for fluorine doping during preparation, avoiding the use of heavy metals in traditional semiconductor quantum dots and significantly reducing cytotoxicity. In applications such as cell imaging, low cytotoxicity ensures that cells maintain normal physiological states and functional activities, allowing experimental results to accurately reflect the characteristics and behavior of the cell nucleus under natural conditions. During long-term cell culture observation experiments, cells do not exhibit abnormal metabolic changes, abnormal gene expression, or cell death due to probe toxicity. This provides a reliable guarantee for accurately studying the changes in the cell nucleus during cell cycle and cell differentiation processes, improving the credibility of experimental data and the accuracy of research conclusions.
[0071] Experimental Example 3
[0072] The nuclei of corn leaf tissue cells were extracted using the nucleus dissociation solution and dissociation washing solution from Example 1, and the nuclei were stained and observed using the carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe from Example 4. The specific steps included:
[0073] a. Collect fresh corn leaves with 2 true leaves, place the leaf tissue on a pre-cooled glass plate, add 1 mL of pre-cooled dissociation solution, and make rapid incisions with a sterile scalpel blade for 2 minutes. After chopping, rinse the chopped sample with 4 mL of pre-cooled dissociation solution into a sterile 15 mL EP centrifuge tube, and dissociate the corn leaf tissue on a shaker at room temperature for 5 minutes to obtain the corn leaf tissue nucleus solution.
[0074] b. Centrifuge the maize leaf tissue cell nucleus solution at low speed in a pre-cooled centrifuge at 4°C, remove the supernatant, and obtain maize leaf tissue cell nucleus precipitate;
[0075] c. Add 5 mL of dissociation washing solution to the corn leaf tissue cell nucleus precipitate for resuspending, centrifuge at low speed in a pre-cooled centrifuge at 4℃, remove the supernatant, and obtain the purified corn leaf tissue cell nucleus precipitate.
[0076] d. Resuspend the purified maize leaf tissue cell nucleus precipitate in 1 mL of dissociation washing buffer, mix well, and pipette 10 μL of the supernatant into a new EP tube. Add an equal volume of carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe for staining. Observe the cell nucleus integrity under a microscope. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 5 .
[0077] Depend on Figure 5As can be seen, the extracted cell nuclei are relatively intact, and tissue fragments are almost completely removed, meeting the needs of subsequent scientific research. The dissociation solution and unique blade scratch dissociation method used in this invention represent a novel and highly efficient cell nucleus extraction scheme compared to traditional liquid nitrogen grinding and digestion techniques. On the one hand, it effectively solves the problem of excessive material loss, greatly reducing sample waste. For precious and scarce maize sample resources, a small amount of sample is sufficient to meet experimental needs, which is a significant advantage when germplasm resources are limited or specific genetic research materials are scarce. On the other hand, it significantly reduces the degree of contamination from tissue fragments, improving the purity and quality of obtained cell nuclei, providing a more reliable sample basis for subsequent experiments. Simultaneously, compared to mechanical cutting and separation methods, the dissociation effect is more complete, the requirement for tissue volume is greatly reduced, and it no longer relies on large amounts of tissue material, making the experimental operation simpler, more flexible, and less costly. The carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe of this invention can effectively stain intact cell nuclei, further ensuring accurate morphological observation and analysis of cell nuclei. It provides clear and accurate sample images for studying the basic characteristics of maize leaf cell nuclei, such as morphology and chromosome number, and helps to carry out in-depth research in fields such as cytogenetics.
[0078] Test Example 4
[0079] Nuclei were collected from maize leaf tissue and analyzed by flow cytometry. The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 6 .
[0080] Depend on Figure 6 The fluorescence value of the maize leaf tissue cell nucleus sample was 127805, with a CV value of 3.84%, indicating diploidity, consistent with literature values. These results fully demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the combined scheme of the cell nucleus dissociation solution, dissociation washing solution, and carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe in flow cytometry analysis. High-quality cell nucleus dissociation and staining provide a stable and uniform fluorescence signal for flow cytometry, enabling the instrument to accurately detect and analyze various parameters of the cell nucleus, such as cell cycle distribution and DNA content. Compared with traditional cell nucleus processing and staining methods, the technical solution of this invention better meets the stringent sample quality requirements of flow cytometry, improving the accuracy and repeatability of the detection results. In plant cell biology research, this is of great value for a deeper understanding of the proliferation, differentiation, and genetic stability of maize leaf cells.
