Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical detection technology, and in particular, relates to a method for detecting protein and polypeptide biomarkers based on pH stimulus responsive materials. Background Art

[0002] Detecting the concentration level of biomarkers in the body helps to objectively evaluate the structural and functional changes of various tissues and organs in the body, and is of great significance for predicting the occurrence of diseases, monitoring disease development, and evaluating the effectiveness of drug treatment. [[1]Stepan H, Hund M, Andraczek T. Combining biomarkers to predict pregnancy complications and redefine preeclampsia: The angiogenic-placental syndrome [J]. Hypertension, 2020, 75 (4): 918-926. [2]Macdonald TM, Walker SP, Hannan NJ, et al. Clinical tools and biomarkers to predict preeclampsia [J]. EBioMedicine, 2022, 75: 103780. [3]Errani C, Traversari M, Cosentino M, et al. The prognostic value of the serum level of C-reactive protein for survival of children with ewing's sarcoma[J].Cancers,2023,15(5):1573.].Biomarkers in the body include biological macromolecules, small molecule compounds, cells and microbial populations. Among them, protein and peptide biomarkers, as the final product of the "central dogma" process, can be more accurately quantified compared to nucleic acid biomarkers that undergo transcription or translation processes. They have received extensive attention in the diagnosis of various diseases [[4] Biomarkers Definitions Working Group. Biomarkers and surrogate endpoints: Preferred definitions and conceptual framework [J]. Clinical Pharmacology Therapeutics, 2001, 69(3): 89-95. [5] Choi JH. Proteolytic biosensors with functional nanomaterials: Current approaches and future challenges [J], Biosensors, 2023, 13(2): 171.] For example, legumain is one of the cysteine ​​proteases of the C13 family. It plays an important role in various diseases such as atherosclerosis, inflammation and tumorigenesis, and is a potential biomarker for diseases such as atherosclerosis [[6] Zhao Y, Hai Z, Wang H, et al. Legumain-specific near-infrared fluorescence "turn on" for tumor-targeted imaging [J]. Analytical Chemistry, 2018, 90 (15): 8732-8735.]. Specific proteins or peptides in biological samples can be used as potential indicators for disease diagnosis or prognosis. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt reliable analytical detection methods to monitor the level changes of protein and peptide biomarkers in organisms.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used methods for detecting protein and peptide biomarkers include colorimetry, spectrophotometry, fluorescence, immunoassay and mass spectrometry [[7]Wu H, Randolph T W. Rapid quantification of protein particles in high-concentration antibody formulations [J]. Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019, 108 (3): 1110-1116.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, 2018, 37 (6): 715-737.] However, biological samples have complex components, many endogenous interfering substances, and the relative abundance of protein and peptide biomarkers is low. Traditional analytical methods are limited by insufficient sensitivity, unstable detection results, difficulty in achieving simultaneous determination of multiple components, and narrow analysis concentration range. They are not enough to meet the detection needs of protein and peptide biomarkers in vivo [

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) has an absolute advantage in the field of small molecule detection due to its high detection sensitivity. However, conventional mass spectrometry detectors have poor compatibility with protein and peptide biomacromolecules, which greatly limits their application in biomacromolecule analysis. By using functional materials to construct a new signal conversion and amplification strategy, based on the corresponding quantitative relationship between the "signal" molecule and the molecule to be tested, the detection signal intensity of the "signal" molecule of the small molecule compound is used to indirectly reflect the concentration of the analyte to be tested. This can overcome the compatibility of LC-MS / MS with biological macromolecules and help to further improve the sensitivity of the analytical method. Summary of the invention

[0053] In order to explain the present invention more clearly, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with preferred embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the following specific description is illustrative rather than restrictive, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] The first step is the preparation of pH stimuli-responsive immune functionalized mesoporous materials

[0056] Place 1.8g of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) powder in a 500mL round-bottom flask, add 300mL of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-hydrochloric acid (Tris-HCl) buffer solution (concentration of 50mmol / L, pH 8.0), and ultrasonicate for 30 minutes until completely dispersed. Place the round-bottom flask in a 60℃ oil bath and stir under reflux for 1 hour. 9 mL of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was added dropwise at a uniform rate, and the reaction was carried out for 9 hours. The obtained milky white product was centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4 min to obtain a white precipitate. After ultrasonic dispersion with anhydrous ethanol, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation. The operation was repeated 3 times. Ultrasonic dispersion with ultrapure water was centrifuged to remove the supernatant. The operation was repeated 3 times. The precipitate was ultrasonically dispersed in 600 mL of an ethanol solution containing 2% concentrated hydrochloric acid, stirred and refluxed at a temperature of 80°C for 24 hours, and the supernatant was removed by centrifugation. The precipitate was repeatedly washed with anhydrous ethanol 3 times, and the supernatant was removed after washing. The precipitate was dispersed in an ethanol solution containing 2% concentrated hydrochloric acid and refluxed at 80°C for 24 hours. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation, and the precipitate was repeatedly washed with anhydrous ethanol at least 3 times. The precipitate was freeze-dried to obtain 1.486 g of mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

[0057] The prepared mesoporous silica was characterized by surface scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and the morphology and distribution of the mesoporous silica used in this method were evaluated.

[0058] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The figure shows the SEM and HRTEM characterization results of mesoporous silica, where A is the SEM characterization result of mesoporous silica; B is the HRTEM characterization result of mesoporous silica. The characterization results show that the MSNs nanoparticles are evenly distributed and the particle size is normally distributed, mainly concentrated between 140 and 200 nm, with an average particle size of about 175 nm.

[0059] A doxorubicin solution with a concentration of 3 mg / mL was prepared by dissolving it in 4-hydroxyethylpiperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) solution (concentration: 20 mmol / L, pH: 7.25).

[0060] 5 mL of 3 mg / mL doxorubicin solution was added to 10 mg of mesoporous silica powder, and the mixture was completely dispersed by ultrasound. The mixture was stirred at room temperature and protected from light for 24 hours. The mixture was centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4 minutes. The initial concentration of doxorubicin solution (C0) and the concentration of doxorubicin in the supernatant after 24 hours of reaction (C t ), according to (C0-C t )×total volume of reaction system / mass of added mesoporous silica, the amount of doxorubicin loaded per unit mass of material can be calculated. According to (C0-C t) / C0, the percentage of doxorubicin loaded on mesoporous silica in the total input can be calculated, thereby optimizing the loading conditions. The precipitate obtained by centrifugation was repeatedly washed with ultrapure water for 3 times and freeze-dried to obtain 9.78 mg of mesoporous silica loaded with doxorubicin (DOX-MSNs).

[0061] 10 mg of DOX-MSNs solid was added to 10 mL of Tris-HCl buffer solution (concentration of 10 mmol / L, pH 8.5), ultrasonically dispersed for 3 minutes, and the concentration of DOX-MSNs in the final system was 1 mg / mL. 5 mg of dopamine hydrochloride powder was added and stirred at room temperature in the dark for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4 minutes, the supernatant was removed, the precipitate was washed three times with ultrapure water, and lyophilized to obtain 10.63 mg of polydopamine encapsulated mesoporous silica loaded with doxorubicin (DOX-MSNs / PDA).

[0062] The purchased 0.2 mg / mL human legumain polyclonal antibody (PCAb) in PBS solution (10 mM, pH 7.4) was placed at room temperature and mixed by repeatedly pipetting.

[0063] 1 mg of DOX-MSNs / PDA lyophilized powder was added to 400 μL PBS (10 mM, pH 7.4) and ultrasonically dispersed, and 100 μL of 200 μg / mL PCAb solution was added. After repeated blowing and mixing, it was placed on a rotary mixer for reaction at room temperature for 6 h. After the reaction, 10 μL of 1% (v / v) glycerol was added, and the mixture was mixed by blowing and mixing. 500 μL of PBS (10 mM, pH 7.40) containing 4 wt% bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added for reaction for 2 h (blocking the nonspecific adsorption sites on DOX-MSNs / PDA), and a pH stimulus-responsive immune functionalized mesoporous material (DOX-MSNs / PDA@PcAb) dispersion system with a concentration of 1 mg / mL was obtained, which was stored at 4 °C for future use.

[0064] The prepared pH stimulus responsive immune functionalized mesoporous material (DOX-MSNs / PDA@PcAb) was characterized by HRTEM and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and its morphology and distribution were evaluated.

[0065] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2The HRTEM characterization and DLS characterization results of the pH stimulus responsive immune functionalized mesoporous material are shown in Figure 1. A is a schematic diagram of the HRTEM characterization results of the pH stimulus responsive immune functionalized mesoporous material, and B is a schematic diagram of the DLS characterization results of the pH stimulus responsive immune functionalized mesoporous material. The results show that the pH stimulus responsive immune functionalized mesoporous material prepared by the present invention has a uniform particle size, and the average particle size is about 185 nm.

[0066] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the effects of the room temperature light-shielded stirring reaction time and the doxorubicin solution concentration on the results when preparing doxorubicin-loaded mesoporous silica (DOX-MSNs), wherein A is a schematic diagram of the effects of the room temperature light-shielded stirring reaction time on the amount of doxorubicin loaded per unit mass of material DLC (%) when preparing doxorubicin-loaded mesoporous silica (DOX-MSNs). The DLC (%) is calculated according to (initial doxorubicin concentration of the reaction - doxorubicin concentration at the end of the reaction) × total volume of the reaction system / mass of mesoporous silica added. The larger the DLC (%), the more doxorubicin is loaded per unit mass of the mesoporous silica, which is more conducive to the subsequent mass spectrometry signal amplification. B is a schematic diagram of the effect of the concentration of doxorubicin solution on the percentage of doxorubicin loaded in the total input DLE (%) when preparing doxorubicin-loaded mesoporous silica (DOX-MSNs). The DLE (%) is calculated based on (initial doxorubicin concentration of the reaction - doxorubicin concentration at the end of the reaction) / initial doxorubicin concentration of the reaction. The larger the DLE (%), the higher the proportion of doxorubicin loaded into the mesoporous silica.

[0067] As can be seen from the figure, with the extension of time, the amount of doxorubicin loaded on unit mass of mesoporous silica shows an increasing trend, and 24 hours is the optimal reaction time; and when the concentration of doxorubicin solution is less than 3 mg / mL, with the increase of the concentration of doxorubicin solution, the amount of doxorubicin loaded on unit mass of mesoporous silica shows an increasing trend. When the concentration of doxorubicin solution is greater than 3 mg / mL, the amount of doxorubicin loaded on unit mass of mesoporous silica remains the same or even decreases. It can be seen that the DOX concentration of 3 mg / mL is the optimal loading concentration.

[0068] Figure 4Schematic diagram of the optimization results of material ratio, reaction time, pH and ultrasonic time conditions for specific release of signal molecules when preparing polydopamine encapsulated mesoporous silica loaded with doxorubicin (DOX-MSNs / PDA). A is a schematic diagram of the specific release results of doxorubicin when DOX-MSNs / PDA is prepared when the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride is 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 at pH 2.35 (disodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer, 20mM); B is a schematic diagram of the specific release results of doxorubicin when DOX-MSNs / PDA is prepared when the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride is 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 at pH 5.02 (disodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer, 20mM); C is a schematic diagram of the specific release results of doxorubicin when DOX-MSNs / PDA is prepared when the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride is 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 at pH 7.43 (disodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer, 20mM) A is a schematic diagram of the specific release results of doxorubicin when DOX-MSNs / PDA was prepared when the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride was 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2, respectively; D is a schematic diagram of the specific release results of doxorubicin when DOX-MSNs / PDA was prepared when the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride was 2:1 under different ultrasonic times under the condition of pH 2.35 (disodium hydrogen phosphate-citrate buffer, 20mM); E is a schematic diagram of the specific release results of doxorubicin from DOX-MSNs and DOX-MSNs / PDA at pH 2.35, 5.02, and 7.43, respectively.

[0069] It can be seen from AC that as the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride decreases, the release rate of doxorubicin from the pH-stimulated responsive immune-functionalized mesoporous material gradually decreases. When the preparation condition is that the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride is 2:1, the pH-stimulated responsive immune-functionalized mesoporous material exhibits better pH responsiveness. As the pH of the dispersion system decreases, the release rate of doxorubicin from the pH-stimulated responsive immune-functionalized mesoporous material gradually increases. When the pH of the dispersion system is 2.35, the pH-stimulated responsive immune-functionalized mesoporous material exhibits better pH responsiveness. In addition, the longer the ultrasonic time, the higher the doxorubicin release rate of the pH-stimulated responsive immune-functionalized mesoporous material. In order to improve the efficiency of the analytical method, the reaction was finally selected to be stirred at room temperature in the dark for 3h. In summary, the optimization results show that when the preparation conditions are that the mass concentration ratio of DOX-MSNs to dopamine hydrochloride is 2:1, the reaction is stirred at room temperature in the dark for 3h, and the pH is 2.35. Sodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer solution exhibits good pH responsiveness.

Take fresh human blood sample, let it stand for 30 minutes, centrifuge (1000×g, 10 minutes) and take out the supernatant to obtain the test sample.

The supernatant was removed by magnetic separation, and 800 μL PBS (10 mM, pH 7.4) was added for repeated washing 4 times. The supernatant was discarded by applying an external magnetic field to obtain a complex of immunomagnetic beads-biomarkers-pH stimulation-responsive immune functionalized mesoporous materials.
