Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometry analysis, and in particular to a detection kit for targeting sulfatide. Background Art

[0002] Sulfatide (abbreviated as sulfatide, SHexCer) is a type of 3-O-sulfogalactosylceramide synthesized from sphingolipids by sphingolipid galactosyltransferase and cerebroside sulfotransferase. It is a special acidic sphingolipid, mainly produced in the myelin sheath, and is an important component of the myelin sheath, accounting for about 4% of the total myelin. It is also distributed in the nervous system, kidneys, liver, spleen, stomach, small intestine and serum. SHexCer is a multifunctional molecule in various biological fields, including the nervous system, insulin secretion, immune system, hemostasis / thrombosis, bacterial infection and viral infection. Abnormal metabolism or expression changes of SHexCer may cause various diseases, especially metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) and other lysosomal storage abnormalities genetic diseases, neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, kidney damage-related diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, cancer, etc. For example, MLD patients lack the lysosomal sulfatase ASA that can hydrolyze the 3-O ester bond of cerebrosides, which causes SHexCer to accumulate in the lysosomes in the body, thereby damaging the central and peripheral nervous systems. At this time, significantly increased SHexCer can be detected mainly in the patient's urine samples, and the diagnostic efficiency of MLD disease can be improved by using a logistic regression equation for multiple SHexCer expressions (Clinica Chimica Acta 433 (2014) 39-43). When SHexCer is missing in the myelin sheath, it will trigger an inflammatory response and abnormal lipid metabolism in glial cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease with abnormal myelin function. The patient's bladder and other functions will also change. The SHexCer content in cerebrospinal fluid and whether it is hydroxylated and the hydroxylation ratio can be used as one of the key biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (Molecular Neurodegeneration, (2021) 16: 64); SHexCer combination can also be used as an indicator for risk assessment of cardiovascular disease in patients with end-stage renal failure. Whether patients with renal failure suffer from cardiovascular disease will show different total amounts of sulfatides and distribution of sulfatides of different chain lengths (Glycoconj J (2007) 24: 565-571); Patent 202310945247.X discloses a set of biomarker combinations for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), in which sulfatides also play a role. Therefore, the study of the content or distribution of SHexCer in the human body has important physiological value.

[0003] Compared with several major lipid categories such as glycerides, sterols, and glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids belong to the category of lipids with lower content in the body. SHexCer is also a low-abundance sphingolipid among sphingolipids (compared with sphingomyelin SM). Taking the high content of phosphatidylcholine PC in plasma as an example, the highest concentration of PC is close to 1mmol / L, while the content of all SHexCer is less than 1nmol / L, a difference of six orders of magnitude. The extraction, enrichment, and detection of SHexCer in complex biological samples such as plasma, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid have high requirements for pretreatment methods and highly sensitive detection methods.

[0004] The ELISA kits available on the market for measuring SHexCer content can only test the overall content of this type of molecule, but cannot test its distribution separately. Sulfatides include both SHexCer without hydroxylation and SHexCer (OH) with one or more hydroxylation modifications; both SHexCer with one cyclohexanol in the molecular structure and SHexCer with two cyclohexanols. 2 Cer, and each skeleton also has multiple carbon chain structures, such as SHexCer d18:1 / 12:0, SHexCer d18:1 / 14:0, SHexCer d18:1 / 16:0, SHexCer d18:1 / 18:0, SHexCer d18:1 / 18:1, SHexCer d18:1 / 20:0, SHexCer d18:1 / 22:0, SHexCer d18:1 / 24:0, etc. Only high-resolution mass spectrometers can achieve high-precision qualitative and quantitative detection of a large class of sulfatides with similar skeleton structures but local differences, and carry out sulfatide-omics research.

[0005] The mass spectrometry platforms for the detection of sulfatide substances reported in the literature include LC-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS systems. LC-MS is a common mass spectrometry platform for lipidomics research, but due to the low abundance of sulfated sphingolipids in samples such as serum or tissues, in-source cleavage in LC-MS, low ionization efficiency, and strong adsorption of sulfonic acid groups on chromatographic columns, the lipid response sensitivity of sulfatide is usually low in non-targeted lipidomics testing. In this regard, Patent 201910424563.6 (grant number CN 110068638 B) discloses a TiO-based mass spectrometry system. 2The separation and enrichment method of acidic glycosphingolipids by column separation technology can remove the interference of phospholipids, and at the same time enrich acidic sphingolipids such as sulfatides to improve their coverage in LC-MS detection. However, despite this, there are only 19 types of SHexCer in serum after enrichment. The number of sulfatides in serum tested based on LC-MS reported in other literature does not exceed 20. MALDI-TOF-MS is usually subject to ion suppression of high-abundance phospholipids such as PC, and complex sample pretreatment methods can match the test of sulfatide molecules in complex samples on MALDI. Patent 202210511862.5 (grant number CN 114858908 A) discloses a method for purifying sulfatides using steps such as NaOH saponification and SPE column, which can convert sulfatides into hydrogenated sulfatides, and is also the most common pretreatment method based on the MALDI platform. However, due to the complex process, the uneven crystallization of conventional organic matrices (such as CHCA, DHB, 9-AA, etc.), and the high ionization threshold, it is impossible to obtain the fingerprint spectrum of the sulfatide group with high stability and high coverage. The coverage is also less than 20 species, which affects the practical application of the sulfatide group. Summary of the invention

[0063] Example 1 Targeted extraction and high coverage detection of serum sulfatides

[0064] This embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

[0065] Step 1. Serum sample pretreatment

[0066] The sample pretreatment process was performed on ice. The serum sample was divided into 30-50 μL per tube, placed in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and 250-350 μL of pretreatment extraction reagent was added. In this embodiment, the pretreatment extraction reagent combination was: methanol, methyl-tert-butyl ether and ultrapure water, followed by vortexing for 10-15 seconds, mixing, oscillating for 10-30 minutes, and high-speed centrifugation for 10 minutes at 4-6°C. After the two phases were separated, the upper hydrophobic phase was quantitatively collected and vacuum dried in a vacuum drying device to obtain a freeze-dried sample.

[0067] Step 2. Solid phase extraction enrichment

[0068] Place the 96-well sample preparation plate above the negative pressure device, place the receiving tube at the corresponding hole position of the 96-well sample preparation plate below the negative pressure device, turn on the pressure switch knob to stabilize the pressure at about 3-6kPa, and stabilize it for 5-10 minutes; dilute and reconstitute the lipid lyophilized product with the reconstitution solution, vortex and mix, and transfer 400μL to the 96-well sample preparation plate, keep the pressure stable, and allow the lipid reconstitution solution to flow slowly and evenly to the corresponding receiving tube below. The whole process is guaranteed to be completed within 5-10 minutes, then turn off the pressure switch, quantitatively transfer 200μL and place it in a 0.2ml centrifuge tube to obtain the enriched solution. The enriched solution can be selected for secondary freeze-drying and concentration according to the sample concentration.

[0069] The reconstituted solution and enriched solution after pretreatment and freeze-drying in step 2 are spotted on the micro-nano mass spectrometry chip, with a single-hole volume of 0.5-2μL. The sample is dried at room temperature. After drying, the chip is sent to the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer for detection. The experimental process is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0070] Step 3. Data Collection

[0071] The mass spectrometry was completed by a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer in the reflectron negative ion mode. The molecular weight acquisition range of the enriched solution was 700–1200 m / z, and the molecular weight acquisition range of the reconstituted solution was 400–1000 m / z. When each sample point was detected, the average signal of 800–1000 laser pulses was used as the reflectron mode detection result of the sample point. The detection results of the reconstituted solution and the enriched solution are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 shown.

[0072] Step 4. Spectral analysis

[0073] According to the spectrum, the sulfatide molecules were identified by MS / MS, including SHexCer without hydroxylation and SHexCer (OH) with one or more hydroxylation modifications; including SHexCer with one cyclohexanol in the molecular structure and SHex2Cer with two cyclohexanols. The sulfatide in the enriched solution can cover 61 molecules (SN>3), and the spectrum analysis results are shown in Table 1. The CV stability between different batches is shown in Table 2, and the comparison of the sulfatide molecule coverage of the reconstituted solution and the enriched solution is shown in Table 3.

[0074] Figure 2 Both Table 3 and Table 3 show that the method provided by the present invention can improve the coverage of sulfatide molecules compared with the conventional lipid pretreatment process.

[0075] Example 2. Pretreatment and detection method of targeted sulfatide group based on micro-nano mass spectrometry chip and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer for the collection and discrimination of sulfatide group in liver cancer patients and healthy people

[0076] This embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

[0077] Step 1. Serum sample pretreatment

[0078] The sample pretreatment process was performed on ice. The serum sample was divided into 30-50 μL per tube, placed in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and 250-350 μL of pretreatment extraction reagent was added. In this embodiment, the pretreatment extraction reagent combination was: methanol, dichloromethane, and ultrapure water. Then, the mixture was vortexed for 10-15 seconds, mixed, shaken for 10-30 minutes, and centrifuged at high speed for 10 minutes at 4-6°C. After the two phases were separated, the upper hydrophobic phase was quantitatively collected and vacuum dried in a vacuum drying device to obtain a freeze-dried sample.

[0079] Step 2. Solid phase extraction enrichment

[0080] Place the 96-well sample preparation plate above the negative pressure device, place the receiving tube at the corresponding hole position of the 96-well sample preparation plate below the negative pressure device, turn on the pressure switch knob to stabilize the pressure at about 3-6kPa, and stabilize it for 5-10 minutes; dilute the lipid freeze-dried product 3-5 times with isopropanol to dissolve it, vortex and mix it, then transfer 300μL to the 96-well sample preparation plate, keep the pressure stable, and allow the lipid reconstitution solution to flow slowly and evenly to the corresponding receiving tube below. The whole process is guaranteed to be completed within 5-10 minutes, then turn off the pressure switch, quantitatively transfer 100μL and place it in a 0.2ml centrifuge tube, dry it in a vacuum drying dish, and store the obtained freeze-dried sample at -80℃.

[0081] Resuspend the sample with 10-20 μL of isopropanol, seal with aluminum plate sealer, vortex for 10-15 seconds, and mix. Spot the sample on the micro-nano mass spectrometry chip at 0.5-2 μL / well, dry at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, and then transfer to a vacuum dryer to dry for 1 minute. The dried chip is fixed on the customized MALDI target holder, and the chip is sent to the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer for detection. The experimental process is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0082] Step 3. Data Collection

[0083] Mass spectrometry acquisition was completed by a MALDI-TOF MS mass spectrometer, the measurement mode was reflectron negative ion mode, and the molecular weight acquisition range of the enriched solution was 700-1200 m / z. When each sample point was detected, the average signal of 800-1000 laser pulses was used as the reflectron mode detection result of the sample point. The detection results of lipid enriched solution of liver cancer patients and healthy people are shown in Figure 3 shown.

[0084] Step 4. Spectral analysis

[0085] According to the spectrum, the sulfatide molecules were identified, including SHexCer without hydroxylation and SHexCer (OH) with one or more hydroxylation modifications; including SHexCer with one cyclohexanol in the molecular structure and SHex2Cer with two cyclohexanols. The overall response of sulfatide esters can reach more than 40,000, covering 53 molecules. The coverage results are shown in Table 4. This method uses OPLSDA to analyze the sulfatide group information of healthy people and liver cancer patients. The results show that the scattered points of the two groups are clearly distinguished in the OPLS-DA diagram, which has a good distinction effect, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0086] Example 3. Targeted extraction and high coverage detection of tissue sulfatides

[0087] This embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

[0088] Step 1. Tissue sample pretreatment

[0089] The sample pretreatment process is performed on ice. About 15-30 mg of tissue sample is weighed, minced into small pieces, placed in a 1.5 mL grinding tube, and placed in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube; 300-1000 μL of extract solution are added in sequence. The pretreatment extraction reagent combination in this embodiment is: methanol, dichloromethane, and water. After grinding 4-6 times, oscillate for 10-30 minutes, and centrifuge at high speed for 10 minutes at 4-6 ° C. After the two phases are separated, the upper hydrophobic phase is quantitatively collected and vacuum dried in a vacuum drying equipment to obtain a freeze-dried sample.

[0090] Step 2. Solid phase extraction enrichment

[0091] Place the 96-well sample preparation plate above the negative pressure device, place the receiving tube at the corresponding hole position of the 96-well sample preparation plate below the negative pressure device, turn on the pressure switch knob to stabilize the pressure at about 3-6kPa, and stabilize it for 5-10 minutes; use isopropanol to reconstitute the lipid lyophilized product, vortex to mix, and transfer 200μL to the 96-well sample preparation plate, keep the pressure stable, and allow the lipid reconstitution solution to flow slowly and evenly to the corresponding receiving tube below. The whole process is guaranteed to be completed within 5-10 minutes, and then turn off the pressure switch to obtain the enrichment solution.

[0092] The enriched solution is spotted on the micro-nano mass spectrometry chip, with a single-hole volume of 0.5-2 μL. The sample is dried at room temperature. After drying, the chip is sent to the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer for detection.

[0093] Step 3. Data Collection

[0094] Mass spectrometry was performed by a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer in the reflectron negative ion mode with a molecular weight range of 700-1200 m / z. When each sample point was detected, the average signal of 800-1000 laser pulses was used as the reflectron mode detection result of the sample point. The detection results are shown in Figure 5 shown.

[0095] Step 4. Spectral analysis

[0096] According to the spectra, the sulfatide molecules were identified by MS / MS, including SHexCer without hydroxylation and SHexCer (OH) with one or more hydroxylation modifications; including SHexCer with one cyclohexanol in the molecular structure and SHex2Cer with two cyclohexans. The sulfatide molecules can cover 74 molecules (SN>3). The spectrum analysis results are shown in Table 5.
