Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of detection technology, and specifically relates to a calibrator or quality control product for an exosome membrane marker detection reagent based on an engineered bacteriophage. Background Art
[0002] Exosomes are 30-150nm extracellular vesicles with a lipid bilayer structure released by cells. The exosome membrane surface contains lipids and a variety of proteins, including cytoskeletal proteins, transmembrane transport proteins (CD9, CD63, CD81, and CD82), and heat shock proteins involved in protein folding (HSP70 and HSP90). Proteins such as Alix, TSG101, and CD63 can be used as biomarkers for exosome identification. Exosomes can be detected in a variety of body fluids, including blood, saliva, amniotic fluid, urine, and tears. In recent years, they have gradually developed into biomarkers for liquid biopsies, assisting in the diagnosis of various diseases. Some researchers have found that the level of programmed death-1-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the membrane of peripheral blood exosomes is more correlated with the progression of tumors and the prognosis of tumor immunotherapy. Detection of PD-L1 on exosomes can assist tumor immunotherapy. Detection of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on the membrane of exosomes plays an important role in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Exosomes in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women also have important diagnostic value. Exosomes secreted by syncytiotrophoblast extracellular vesicles (STBEV) of the placenta, and markers on the membrane of STBEV such as placental alkaline phosphatase (Placental Alkaline Phosphatase) are also important for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Phosphatase (PLAP) can be used to diagnose and monitor pathological conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes; the detection of related proteins of neuronal-derived exosomes in peripheral blood is of great significance for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. For example, α-synuclein in neuronal-derived exosomes can be used as an auxiliary diagnosis for Parkinson's disease.
[0003] The design and development of detection kits for exosome membrane markers is of great clinical significance. Conventional double-antibody sandwich assays typically utilize two different antibodies that recognize different antigenic determinants of the same antigen. However, detection kits for exosome membrane markers require the use of two different antibodies—an exosome-specific antibody and an exosome membrane marker-specific antibody—to form a sandwich complex for detection. Calibrators and quality control materials are crucial for quantitative measurement and quality control in in vitro diagnostic clinical testing. However, the development of exosomes for direct use as calibrators and quality control materials for assays is challenging. Currently, large-scale exosome production typically utilizes engineered cell culture methods to obtain exosomes containing specific exosome membrane markers. Cell culture methods are not only expensive, but also subject to batch-to-batch variability due to differences in cell donors, tissue origin, and culture batches. Exosomes are typically stored at -80°C for long periods in the laboratory, making their transportation and storage as part of a test kit challenging.
[0004] The challenge of preparing low-cost, low-batch-to-batch variability, and stable exosome calibrators and quality controls is currently a major challenge. Phage display techniques (PDT) use modified bacteriophages as vectors to insert an exogenous gene fragment into the phage coat protein region. As the phages are passaged, the exogenous peptide or protein is expressed and displayed on the phage surface. Through affinity enrichment screening, phages displaying the specific peptide or protein are ultimately obtained. Common phage display systems include the single-stranded filamentous phage (M13) display system, the T4 phage display system, the T7 phage display system, and the λ phage display system. Phage display technology offers advantages such as ease of operation, rapid production, and increased efficiency. Therefore, phage display technology can be used to insert two exosome membrane markers into the phage coat protein region. Phages expressing both exosome membrane markers can then be screened to mimic exosomes and serve as calibrators and quality controls for detection reagents. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Control group 1: Calibrators and quality control products for extracting exosomes from cell lines for PD-L1 & CD63 detection reagents
[0049] (I) Extraction of exosome PD-L1 & CD63 from cell lines
[0050] In the control group, exosomes were extracted by cell culture. The specific method was as follows: human lung adenocarcinoma cell line H1975, which highly expresses PD-L1, was cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2. The cell culture supernatant was collected. The cell pellet was removed by centrifugation at 300g and 4°C for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected. The cell pellet was removed by centrifugation at 2000g and 4°C for 10 minutes, and the cell debris pellet was removed by centrifugation at 10,000g and 4°C for 30 minutes. The supernatant was collected and then ultracentrifuged at 120,000g and 4°C for 70 minutes. The supernatant was removed and the bottom pellet was resuspended in PBS to obtain exosomes from the control group.
[0051] (II) Preparation of calibrators and quality control materials for cell line exosome PD-L1 & CD63 detection reagents
[0052] The calibrators and quality controls in this control group were prepared using a freeze-dried storage solution containing 5.0% w / v BSA, 2.0% w / v trehalose, 5.0 w / v mannitol, 0.05% v / v Tween-20, 100 mM PBS buffer, and 0.1% v / v Proclin 300 preservative at a pH of 7.40. The engineered phage purified in step 1 was diluted to a concentration of (1.00 ± 0.20) AU / mL for quality control 1 and (20.00 ± 4.00) AU / mL for quality control 2, and the diluted phages were dispensed into freeze-dried bottles and freeze-dried according to the following freeze-drying procedure:
[0053] Open the freeze dryer, cool to -50°C, transfer the subpackaged quality control products into the freeze dryer, and keep the temperature constant for 180 minutes;
[0054] Heat to -40°C for 10 minutes and maintain constant temperature for 120 minutes; maintain vacuum below 10Pa;
[0055] Heat to -30°C for 10 minutes, maintain constant temperature for 120 minutes, and maintain vacuum below 10 Pa;
[0056] Heat to -20°C for 10 minutes, maintain constant temperature for 120 minutes, and maintain vacuum below 10 Pa;

[0061] (III) Evaluation of exosome PD-L1 & CD63 in cell lines
[0062] 1. Potency and inter-batch variation of exosome PD-L1 & CD63 in cell lines
[0063] The exosomal PD-L1 chemiluminescence kit was used to detect the titer and inter-batch variation of exosome PD-L1 and CD63 extracted from three batches of cells cultured in the control group. The original concentration was calculated based on the dilution ratio. The results are shown in Table 1. The inter-batch variation of cell-extracted exosomes exceeded 30%, which will lead to large inter-batch variation in the production process of in vitro diagnostic products.

[0065]
[0066]
[0067] 2. Accelerated stability of exosomes PD-L1 & CD63 in cell lines
[0068] The 37°C accelerated stability of a quality control product prepared from exosomes extracted from cell line cultures was tested using an exosome PD-L1 chemiluminescence kit. The results are shown in Table 2. The results showed that the 8-day accelerated thermal stability of exosomes extracted from cell line cultures was poor, with an accelerated deviation of less than -25%, which does not meet the accelerated stability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.
[0069] Table 2 Accelerated 8-day stability data of exosome antigens extracted from cell lines
[0070]
[0071] 3. Simulated transport stability of exosomes PD-L1 & CD63 in cell lines
[0072] Using an exosomal PD-L1 chemiluminescent kit, we simulated shipping conditions in the laboratory by storing calibrators and quality control samples at 37°C for 1, 3, and 5 days. On the day of sampling, we performed a drop experiment in which the kit was dropped from a height of 1.5 meters three times to test the shipping stability of quality control samples prepared with exosomes extracted from cell line cultures. The results are shown in Table 3. The results showed that exosome antigens extracted from cell line cultures exhibited poor stability after 5 days of transportation at 37°C, with a deviation within -15%, which does not meet the shipping stability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.

[0074]
[0075] 4. Real-time stability of exosome PD-L1 & CD63 in cell lines
[0076] The long-term stability of a quality control product prepared from exosomes extracted from cell line cultures at 4°C was tested using an exosome chemiluminescence kit. The results are shown in Table 4. The freeze-dried cell line exosome quality control product can only be stored at 4°C for 6 months. The results showed that the real-time deviation of cell line exosome PD-L1 and CD63 exceeded 10% at 12 months, which does not meet the long-term real-time stability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.

[0080] like Figure 3 Shown is the process flow chart and detection schematic diagram of PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage preparation. The specific process is as follows.
[0081] (1) Construction of engineered phage
[0082] Use the phage display system to construct exosomal PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage. Here, the M13 phage display system is preferably used to construct exosomal PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage. The steps are as follows:
[0083] 1. Phage modification of PD-L1: Insert the PD-L1 gene sequence SEQ (Gene ID: 29126) between the signal peptide (Sg III) and the first amino acid sequence of the PIII protein. PCR amplification was performed, and the cells were transformed into competent E. coli cells. The cells were cultured overnight at 37°C. Plaques were picked, and positive clones with the correct sequence inserted were selected for amplification.
[0084] 2. Using the positive clone obtained in step 1) as a template for primer design, insert the exosomal transmembrane protein CD63 gene sequence SEQ (Gene ID: 967) between the signal peptide and the first amino acid sequence of the PVIII protein. PCR amplify, ligate and transform into E. coli competent cells, culture at 37°C overnight, and pick 96 single clones. 3. Culture the 96 groups of E. coli selected in step 2) overnight, elute and separate the 96 groups of bacterial liquid, and select the positive clone with the highest expression level. 4. In step 3), expand the culture of the final positive clone obtained by screening, culture at 37°C overnight, and purify the engineered phage that can simultaneously express two exosomal membrane markers, CD63 and PD-L1.
[0085] (II) Preparation of calibrators for engineered bacteriophage exosome PD-L1 & CD63 detection reagents

The engineered phage purified in step 1 was diluted to calibrator 1 (1.00 ± 0.20) AU / mL and calibrator 2 (20.00 ± 4.00) AU / mL.
[0087] (III) Preparation of quality control products for engineered bacteriophage exosome PD-L1 & CD63 detection reagents
[0088] In this example, the quality control samples were prepared using a freeze-dried storage solution containing 5.0% w / v BSA, 2.0% w / v trehalose, 5.0 w / v mannitol, 0.05% v / v Tween-20, 100 mM PBS buffer, and 0.1% v / v Proclin 300 preservative at a pH of 7.40. The engineered phage purified in step 1 was diluted to a concentration of (1.00 ± 0.20) AU / mL for quality control sample 1 and (20.00 ± 4.00) AU / mL for quality control sample 2. The diluted solutions were dispensed into freeze-dried bottles and freeze-dried according to the following freeze-drying procedure:
[0089] Open the freeze dryer, cool to -50°C, transfer the subpackaged quality control products into the freeze dryer, and keep the temperature constant for 180 minutes;
[0090] Heat to -40°C for 10 minutes and maintain constant temperature for 120 minutes; maintain vacuum below 10Pa;

[0096] The temperature was raised to 25°C for 10 minutes, and the temperature was kept constant for 360 minutes, while the vacuum degree was maintained below 10 Pa.
[0097] (IV) Evaluation of PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage
[0098] 1. Screening of engineered phages using the exosome PD-L1 chemiluminescence kit
[0099] The 96 phages purified from the plaque cultures in Example 1 were tested using an exosomal PD-L1 chemiluminescence kit. The results are shown in Table 5. It was found that several positive clones, such as F05, B08, and C10, had the highest luminescence values. Phage F05 was selected as the exosomal PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage.
[0100] Table 5 Luminescence values of 96 monoclonal phages
[0101]
[0102] 2. Potency and batch variation of PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage
[0103] Three batches of engineered phage (F05-LOT1, F05-LOT2, and F05-LOT3) expressing the PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage F05 of the present invention were tested using an exosomal PD-L1 chemiluminescence kit. The original concentrations were calculated based on the dilution ratios. The results, shown in Table 6, showed that the inter-batch variability of engineered phage F05 was within 5%. These results demonstrate that the inter-batch variability of the PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage F05 of the present invention was significantly smaller than that of exosomes extracted from the control cell line, meeting the inter-batch variability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.

[0114] Using an exosomal PD-L1 chemiluminescent kit, calibrators and quality controls were stored at 37°C for 1, 3, and 5 days, respectively, under laboratory conditions simulating transport conditions. On the same day of sampling, the kit was dropped from a height of 1.5 meters three times in a oscillatory drop experiment to test the transport stability of calibrators and quality controls formulated with the PD-L1 and CD63 engineered phage F05 of the present invention. The results, as shown in Tables 9 and 10, show that the engineered phage F05 of the present invention exhibits excellent transport stability. Whether in liquid or lyophilized form, the deviation between the calibrators and quality controls remained within -5% after five days of transport at 37°C.

[0121] Using an exosomal PD-L1 chemiluminescent kit, the long-term stability of the calibrators and quality controls prepared with the PD-L1 & CD63 engineered phage F05 of the present invention was compared with that of the quality control prepared with exosomes extracted from cell lines at 4°C.

[0125] Control group 2 plasma extracted exosomes PLAP&CD81 detection reagent calibrator and quality control
[0126] (1) Extraction of exosomes PLAP and CD81 from serum
[0127] In the control group, plasma exosomes were extracted using a precipitation method. The specific method was as follows: maternal serum stored at -80°C was reconstituted at room temperature and centrifuged at 2000g for 30 minutes at 4°C to remove blood cell debris. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22μm filter and the filtrate was collected. One-quarter volume of 40% PEG6000 was added, vortexed to mix, and incubated at 4°C overnight. The mixture was centrifuged at 10000g for 60 minutes at 4°C, and the supernatant was removed. The pellet was resuspended in PBS to obtain the exosomes from the control group.
[0128] (II) Preparation of calibrators and quality control materials for serum-extracted exosome PLAP & CD81 detection reagents
[0129] The calibrators and quality controls in this control group were prepared using a freeze-dried storage solution containing 5.0% w / v BSA, 5.0% w / v trehalose, 8.0 w / v mannitol, 0.05% v / v Tween-20, 50 mM Tris buffer and 0.1% v / v Proclin 300 preservative, pH 8.00. The exosome PLAP engineered phage was diluted to quality control product 1 (1.00 ± 0.20) AU / mL and quality control product 2 (10.00 ± 2.00) AU / mL, and then dispensed into freeze-dried bottles and freeze-dried according to the freeze-drying procedure of Example 1 below.
[0130] Open the freeze dryer, cool to -50°C, transfer the subpackaged quality control products into the freeze dryer, and keep the temperature constant for 180 minutes;
[0131] Heat to -40°C for 10 minutes and maintain constant temperature for 120 minutes; maintain vacuum below 10Pa;
[0132] Heat to -30°C for 10 minutes, maintain constant temperature for 120 minutes, and maintain vacuum below 10 Pa;

[0136] Heat to 10°C for 10 minutes, maintain constant temperature for 360 minutes, and maintain vacuum below 10 Pa;
[0137] The temperature was raised to 25°C for 10 minutes, and the temperature was kept constant for 360 minutes, while the vacuum degree was maintained below 10 Pa.
[0138] (III) Evaluation of serum-extracted exosomes PLAP and CD81
[0139] 1. The titer and inter-batch variation of serum-extracted exosomes PLAP and CD81
[0140] The exosome PLAP chemiluminescence kit was used to test the titer and inter-batch variability of exosomes extracted from three batches of maternal serum. The original concentration was calculated based on the dilution ratio. The results, shown in Table 12, showed inter-batch variability of serum exosome PLAP and CD81 exceeding 30%. This indicates that the inter-batch variability of serum-exosome PLAP and CD81 is large and cannot meet the requirements of in vitro diagnostic products.

[0143] 2. Accelerated stability of serum-extracted exosomes PLAP & CD81
[0144] The 37°C accelerated stability of a quality control prepared with exosomes PLAP and CD81 extracted from the serum of the control group was tested using an exosome PLAP chemiluminescence kit. The results, shown in Table 13, showed an 8-day accelerated stability deviation of approximately -25%. This indicates that the accelerated stability of serum-extracted exosomes PLAP and CD81 is poor and does not meet the accelerated stability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.

[0147] 3. Simulated transport stability of serum-extracted exosomes PLAP & CD81
[0148] Using an exosome PLAP chemiluminescence kit, we simulated transport conditions in the laboratory. Calibrators or quality control samples were stored at 37°C for 1, 3, and 5 days. On the day of sampling, the kit was dropped from a height of 1.5 meters three times to test the transport stability of a quality control prepared with serum-extracted exosome PLAP & CD81. The results, shown in Table 14, showed a deviation of -20% on the fifth day of simulated transport. These results indicate that serum-extracted exosome PLAP & CD81 has poor transport stability and does not meet the transport stability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.

The results, shown in Table 15, show that the serum-extracted exosome PLAP & CD81 quality control was only stable for 6 months.

[0164] (II) Preparation of calibrators for PLAP detection reagents for engineered bacteriophage exosomes
[0165] In this example, the calibrators were prepared using a liquid preservative formulation containing 2.0% w / v BSA, 3.0% w / v sucrose, 2.5% v / v sorbitol, 10.0% v / v glycerol, 0.05% v / v Tween-20, 50 mM Tris buffer, and 0.1% v / v Proclin 300 preservative, pH 8.00. The exosomal PLAP engineered phage was diluted to calibrator 1 (1.00 ± 0.20) AU / mL and calibrator 2 (10.00 ± 2.00) AU / mL.
[0166] (III) Preparation of quality control products for PLAP detection reagents of engineered bacteriophage exosomes

[0170] Using an exosome PLAP chemiluminescence kit, the titer and inter-batch variability of three batches of the PLAP & CD81 engineered phage of the present invention were tested. The original concentration was calculated based on the dilution ratio. The results, shown in Table 16, showed that the inter-batch variability of the PLAP & CD81 engineered phage was within 5%. These results demonstrate that the inter-batch variability of the PLAP & CD81 engineered phage of the present invention is significantly lower than that of the exosome PLAP & CD81 extracted from serum in the control group, meeting the inter-batch variability requirements for in vitro diagnostic products.

[0181] Using an exosome PLAP chemiluminescence kit, calibrators and quality controls were stored at 37°C for 1, 3, and 5 days, respectively, under laboratory conditions simulating transport conditions. On the same day of sampling, the kit was dropped from a height of 1.5 meters three times in a oscillatory drop experiment to test the transport stability of calibrators and quality controls formulated with the PLAP & CD81 engineered phage of the present invention. The results, shown in Tables 19 and 20, show that the PLAP & CD81 engineered phage of the present invention, whether in liquid or lyophilized form, maintained a deviation of less than 5% for calibrators and quality controls after 5 days of transport at 37°C.
