Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic reagent technology, and more specifically, to a lipoprotein subfraction phospholipid detection kit. Background Technology
[0002] Lipoproteins are a class of globular microparticles consisting of a hydrophobic core rich in sterols and triglycerides and an outer shell composed of proteins, phospholipids, cholesterol, etc. As important biomolecules, they are mainly responsible for transporting lipids in the human body. Lipoproteins are composed of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids. Based on their density, lipoproteins are classified into chylomicrons (CM), very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Clinically, cholesterol levels of lipoproteins are usually measured to assess a patient's risk of cardiovascular disease. However, recent studies have shown that lipoproteins exhibit significant heterogeneity. For example, LDL can be divided into a high-risk dense subtype and a low-risk lightweight subtype, and HDL also has sub-fragments with significantly different functions. Therefore, methods that only measure total cholesterol levels are insufficient to accurately assess cardiovascular disease risk, and new detection methods that can detect phospholipids, a sub-fragment of lipoproteins, are needed.
[0003] Lipoprotein subfraction quantitative analysis is a key technical means for cardiovascular disease risk assessment. Currently, the mainstream methods for lipoprotein subfraction detection include: (1) Electrophoresis: Lipoproteins are separated by electrophoresis and then stained (usually for cholesterol), and then scanned for analysis. This method is complicated, and the separation and staining accuracy is limited, resulting in insufficient precision and accuracy, making it difficult to meet the high-throughput clinical needs; (2) Nuclear magnetic resonance: Lipoprotein particle concentration is directly measured, but the instruments are expensive, the operation is complicated, and professional maintenance is required. It is mainly limited to scientific research scenarios and is difficult to promote in clinical practice; (3) VAP method: Lipoproteins are rapidly separated by ultracentrifugation combined with a vertical rotor, and the subfraction cholesterol content is measured by cholesterol detection reagents (such as cholesterol oxidase-peroxidase system). This method is currently only used to detect lipoprotein subfraction cholesterol.
[0004] Phospholipids play a crucial role in lipoprotein metabolism, and their subfractional distribution has unique diagnostic value for hyperlipidemia and postprandial metabolic assessment. Since phospholipids and cholesterol are both components of lipoproteins, clinical practice typically only measures total phospholipids. For the detection of phospholipids in individual lipoproteins and their subfractions, traditional ultracentrifugation (over 16 hours) is usually required to collect the separated lipoproteins separately and then determine the phospholipid content of each component. This method requires separate density-adjusting solutions, ultracentrifugation, and collection for phospholipid analysis. It generally only measures phospholipids in HDL, LDL, and VLDL, making it cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to issues with precision, thus unsuitable for clinical use. Currently, there is no method that can simultaneously and rapidly detect phospholipids in multiple lipoprotein subfractions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to detect multiple lipoprotein subfractions and phospholipids.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a lipoprotein subfraction phospholipid detection kit, the kit comprising:
[0007] The reaction reagents include buffer solution, surfactant, magnesium chloride, 4-aminoantipyrine, sodium N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline, phospholipase D, choline oxidase, peroxidase, ascorbic acid oxidase, protectant, and third preservative.
[0008] In the reaction reagents of the kit provided by this invention, the surfactant plays the role of cleaving lipoproteins and releasing phospholipids from lipoproteins and their sub-components. Magnesium chloride provides magnesium ions as an enzyme activator. Sodium salts of 4-aminoantipyrine and N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline participate in the generation of quinone imines as chromogenic substances. Ascorbic acid oxidase can eliminate the interference of reducing substances such as ascorbic acid on the determination of hydrogen peroxide.
[0009] Preferably, the buffer solution is selected from any one of PIPES buffer, HEPES buffer, MOPS buffer, phosphate buffer, and Tris buffer with a pH of 6.0 to 9.0 and a salt concentration of 10 to 500 mM.
[0010] Preferably, the surfactant is:
[0011] Qulaton X-100; or
[0012] A mixture of Triton X-100 and alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether;
[0013] The alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether is selected from any one or more of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, heptaphenol polyoxyethylene ether, octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, decylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and dodecyl polyoxyethylene ether.
[0014] In the kit provided by this invention, the surfactant plays a role in accelerating the cleavage of lipoproteins. To ensure cleavage efficiency, the surfactant should include at least Triton X-100. Triton X-100 can cleave lipoproteins and release phospholipids from different lipoproteins. If the amount of Triton X-100 is too low, the lipoproteins will not be completely cleaved, affecting the accuracy of the test results. If the amount is too high, the viscosity of the reagent will increase, affecting the flowability of the reagent and the accuracy of the test results.
[0015] When Triton X-100 is used alone, the reaction rate may be limited, resulting in the reaction not being completed in a short time. Therefore, the kit provided by this invention adds alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether to the surfactant based on Triton X-100. Alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether can effectively improve the reaction rate. After adding alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, the pyrolysis reaction can be completed within 60 seconds.
[0016] Preferably, the concentration of Triton X-100 in the reaction reagent is 0.1% to 1% by mass.
[0017] The concentration of the alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether in the reaction reagent is 0.01% to 1% by mass.
[0018] Preferably, the concentration of phospholipase D is 1~100 KU / L;
[0019] The concentration of the choline oxidase is 1~100 KU / L;
[0020] The concentration of the peroxidase is 0.2~20 KU / L;
[0021] The concentration of the ascorbic acid oxidase is 0.2~20 KU / L.
[0022] In the kit provided by this invention, all enzymes should be in excess to ensure that the reaction can proceed rapidly and efficiently. If the enzyme concentration is too low, it will cause the reaction of high-value samples to be delayed.
[0023] Preferably, the protective agent is selected from one or more of marine animal gelatin, sugar protective agent, and BSA; the marine animal gelatin is selected from one or more of cod bone gelatin, squid skin gelatin, and mackerel skin gelatin; and the sugar protective agent is selected from one or more of sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, and sorbitol.
[0024] Preferably, the concentration of the third preservative in the reaction reagent is 0.01% to 1% by mass.
[0025] The concentration of 4-aminoantipyrine in the reaction reagent is 0.1~10mM;
[0026] The concentration of the sodium N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline salt in the reaction reagent is 0.1~10mM.
[0027] Preferably, the lipoprotein subfraction phospholipid detection kit further includes a diluent, which includes a first preservative and a first density regulator;
[0028] The density liquid includes a second preservative and a second density regulator.
[0029] Preferably, the density of the diluent is adjusted by a first density regulator, the density of which is 1.15~1.25 g / mL, and the first density regulator is sucrose or iodixanol;
[0030] The density of the density liquid is adjusted by a second density regulator, the density of which is 1.0~1.1 g / mL, and the second density regulator is sucrose or iodixanol.
[0031] Preferably, the concentration of the first preservative in the diluent is 0.01% to 0.5% by mass.
[0032] The concentration of the second preservative in the diluent is 0.01% to 0.5% by mass.
[0033] In existing technologies, the diluent / density solution used in VAP lipid subcomponent analyzers is prepared with potassium bromide. However, high concentrations of potassium bromide can severely inhibit the reaction of lipoprotein subcomponent phospholipids. This invention uses a first density regulator and a second density regulator to replace the existing potassium bromide, enabling adjustable density of the diluent and density solution. This completely eliminates the inhibition of enzyme activity of phospholipid detection reagents by potassium bromide. The kit provided by this invention is compatible with VAP detection systems, enabling continuous flow cytometry detection of lipoprotein subcomponent phospholipids on VAP lipid subcomponent analyzers.
[0034] The working principle of the reagent kit provided by this invention is as follows:
[0035] First, after the sample is diluted with the diluent, an initial high-density layer with a higher density will be formed. After the initial high-density layer is added to the bottom of the density solution using the bottom loading method, a density gradient solution with upper and lower layers will be formed. After the upper and lower density gradient solutions are ultracentrifuged, a continuous density gradient solution will be formed. At the same time, lipoproteins of different densities will be separated into layers according to density under the action of centrifugal force, forming a continuous lipoprotein gradient layer, thereby achieving the separation of lipoprotein subcomponents.
[0036] Then, the centrifuged samples were tested using a lipid subfraction analyzer. The lipoproteins in the samples reacted with the reaction reagents, and the surfactants cleaved each layer of lipoproteins. The cleavage reaction was completed within 60 seconds, releasing phospholipids.
[0037] Finally, under the action of phospholipase D, phospholipids are converted into choline and phosphatidic acid. Choline is converted into hydrogen peroxide under the action of choline oxidase. In the presence of peroxidase, 4-aminoantipyrine and sodium N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline, hydrogen peroxide will generate a blue dye. The blue dye has a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of 600 nm. By continuously detecting the change in absorbance after the sample reaction, a phospholipid spectrum can be formed. The relevant software can automatically calculate the phospholipid content in different density lipoprotein subfractions.
[0038] The kit provided by this invention enables the simultaneous detection of total phospholipids (PLIP), high-density lipoprotein phospholipids (HDL-PLIP), low-density lipoprotein phospholipids (LDL-PLIP), intermediate-density lipoprotein phospholipids (IDL-PLIP), very low-density lipoprotein phospholipids (VLDL-PLIP), high-density lipoprotein 2 phospholipids (HDL2-PLIP), high-density lipoprotein 3 phospholipids (HDL3-PLIP), small and dense low-density lipoprotein phospholipids (sdLDL-PLIP), lipoprotein α phospholipids (Lpa-PLIP), and lipoprotein remnant phospholipids (RLP-PLIP).
[0039] The sample described in this invention can be a serum sample or a plasma sample.
[0040] Unlike existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages:
[0041] 1. This invention is the first to realize the detection of phospholipid indicators of lipoprotein subfractions on a blood lipid subfraction analyzer. The detection indicators include PLIP, HDL-PLIP, LDL-PLIP, IDL-PLIP, VLDL-PLIP, HDL2-PLIP, HDL3-PLIP, sdLDL-PLIP, Lpa-PLIP, and RLP-PLIP.
[0042] 2. The kit provided by this invention uses a sucrose or iodixanol density gradient system instead of a potassium bromide system, which overcomes the inhibitory effect of potassium bromide on enzymes and enables the detection of lipoprotein subfractions phospholipids in the VAP detection system, which is of pioneering significance;
[0043] 3. This invention uses a specific combination of protective agents, which significantly increases the stability of the enzymes in the kit, meeting clinical requirements;
[0044] 4. The density gradient in the kit provided by this invention is flexibly adjustable, and the detection precision of specific subcomponents can be significantly improved by adjusting the density and centrifugation parameters;
[0045] 5. The kit provided by this invention can be used on a VAP system for detection. It can be used in conjunction with existing cholesterol VAP detection to simultaneously output lipoprotein subfraction cholesterol and phospholipid typing maps, providing a new combination of biomarkers for atherosclerosis, diabetic lipid metabolism disorders, etc., filling a gap in clinical testing.

[0111] Example 1
[0112] The effect of different density solutions and dilution solutions on the reaction rate was determined.
[0113] Prepare the diluent and density solution according to the formula shown in Table 1.
[0114] Table 1
[0115]
[0116] S1: Dilute the serum sample with diluent and mix in a biochemical cup, wherein the dilution volume ratio is serum: diluent = 50: 1950;
[0117] S2: Take a 5.1 mL Polyallomer quick-seal tube, add 3800 μL of density solution, and then slowly add 1200 μL of pre-diluted serum sample from the bottom. Place the tube in a VTi-65.2 rotor and centrifuge using a Beckman ultracentrifuge. Parameters: Rotation speed = 65000 rpm, ω 2 t=6.6*10 10 rad 2 / sec, temperature=23℃, acceleration=6, deceleration=6.
[0118] S3: Place the centrifuged samples from step S2 onto the lipid subfraction analyzer, add reagents, and begin testing. Record the total area of the reaction curve. Calculate the reaction ratio of each group to the blank control group. The samples were routine serum, with phospholipid target values of 1.82 mM and 4.26 mM, respectively. The specific dilution and density solution combinations and results are shown in Table 2. The blank group served as a 100% reaction control.
[0119] Table 2
[0120]
[0121] As shown in Table 2, the diluent and density solution of the present invention have no effect on the reaction between serum and reagents. Therefore, the density solution and diluent provided by the present invention can be used in detection systems for detecting phospholipid profiles in lipoproteins without affecting the reagent reaction efficiency.
[0122] Example 2
[0123] Determination of the effect of reaction reagents on reaction rate.
[0124] Prepare different reaction reagents according to the formulas in Table 3.
[0125] Table 3
[0126]
[0127] Formula A3 from Example 1 was used as the diluent, and formula B3 from Example 1 was used as the density solution. The same detection steps as in Example 1 were employed, and the 16 reaction reagents prepared above were used for detection. The detection instrument was a lipid subfraction analyzer, and the samples were routine serum and high-phospholipid serum. The phospholipid value of the routine serum was 2.15 mM, and the phospholipid value of the high-phospholipid serum was 4.87 mM.
[0128] The reaction of this reagent is a final reaction, and the reaction time is relatively short, 1 minute. Therefore, the final total reaction area of the same sample is only related to whether each reagent completely reacts with the target substance in the sample. Theoretically, if the total reaction area of the 2.15 mM sample with reagent C1 is 100%, the relative total area under the reaction curve of the 4.88 mM sample should be 227%.
[0129] The specific results are shown in Table 4.
[0130] Table 4
[0131]
[0132] As shown in Table 4, the reaction reagents provided by this invention, with the combination of Triton X-100 and Lutensol AP 8 dual surfactants, exhibited a total reaction area that was largely consistent with expectations when detecting high-phospholipid samples; while the reaction curve of the single surfactant reagent containing Triton X-100 showed only 90% of the expected total area. Therefore, the single surfactant reaction reagents provided by this invention can be used for the detection of high-value samples, while the dual surfactant combination reaction reagents can meet all application scenarios and have the advantage of faster reaction speed.

[0141] Based on the substances in formula D4 excluding BSA, reagents were prepared according to the concentrations shown in Table 7, resulting in a total of 21 groups.

[0147] Based on the substances in formula D6 except for sodium azide, reagents were prepared according to the concentrations shown in Table 9, resulting in a total of 6 groups.
[0148] Table 9
[0149]
[0150] Because the reagents of this invention can react more quickly, the reaction can be performed on a lipid subcomponent analyzer.
[0151] Take 50 μl of serum and add 1950 μl of Formula A3 diluent. Dilute and mix well. Take a 5.1 mL Polyallomer quick-seal tube, add 3800 μl of Formula B3 density solution, and then slowly add 1200 μl of the pre-diluted serum sample from the bottom. Place the centrifuge tube in a VTi-65.2 rotor and centrifuge using a Beckman ultracentrifuge. Parameters: Rotation speed = 65000 rpm, ω 2 t=6.6*10 10 rad 2 / sec, temperature=23℃, acceleration=6, deceleration=6.
[0152] The centrifuged samples were carefully transferred to a lipid subfraction analyzer for testing. The testing parameters were: sample flow rate 1.0 mL / min, reagent flow rate 1.0 mL / min. The results were compared using 63 reagent formulations (C1, D1-D62) of this invention. The results are shown in Tables 10-14.
[0153] The samples were routine serum. Each sample was tested 10 times with each reagent. The mean X, standard deviation S, and coefficient of variation CV of each reagent PLIP were calculated.

[0164] As shown in Tables 10-14, the detection results of the 62 dual-surfactant combination reaction reagents of this invention are relatively consistent, and the coefficient of variation (CV) is good. However, the detection results of each item of the single-surfactant reaction reagents are about 10% lower. The possible reason is that the single-surfactant reaction reagents do not have sufficient reaction time on the lipid typing analyzer, resulting in incomplete reaction and thus lower detection results. This tendency to lower the detection results increases with the increase of sample values. Therefore, using the reaction reagents provided by this invention on a lipid subfraction analyzer can obtain more accurate lipoprotein subfraction phospholipid detection results.

[0166] Linear range study.
[0167] Since the lipid subfraction analyzer can detect phospholipids of different lipoprotein subfractions, among which PLIP, HDL-PLIP, and LDL-PLIP have relatively high measured values and are representative of the main items, the linear range of PLIP, HDL-PLIP, and LDL-PLIP is analyzed to illustrate the detectable linear range of the reagent detection system of the present invention. A high PLIP sample (PLIP measured value of about 8mM) was taken, diluted to different concentrations, and tested using the formula of the present invention.
[0168] Take 50 μl of each serum gradient and add 1950 μl of formulation A3 diluent. Dilute and mix well. Take a 5.1 mL Polyallomer quick-seal tube, add 3800 μl of B3 density solution, and then slowly add 1200 μl of the pre-diluted serum sample from the bottom. Place the centrifuge tube in a VTi-65.2 rotor and centrifuge using a Beckman ultracentrifuge. Parameters: speed = 65000 rpm, ω 2 t=6.6*10 10 rad 2 / sec, temperature=23℃, acceleration=6, deceleration=6.
[0169] The centrifuged samples were carefully transferred to a lipid subfraction analyzer for testing. The testing parameters were: sample flow rate 1.0 mL / min, reagent flow rate 1.0 mL / min. The results were compared using 24 different reagent formulations from this invention. The results are shown in Table 15.
[0170] Table 15
[0171]
[0172] As shown in Table 15, the multi-surfactant combination reagent of the kit provided by this invention exhibits significantly better linearity than the single-surfactant reagent, with an upper limit of its linear range reaching 8 mM. In contrast, the single-surfactant reagent generally yields lower results when detecting phospholipid samples from 0 to 8 mM. Because this invention uses a special combination of surfactants, the reaction rate between the reagent and different lipoprotein subfractions of phospholipids is significantly increased. Even when detecting high-value samples, the reaction can be completed in a short time. Therefore, the multi-surfactant reaction reagent of this invention has a wider linear range.

[0174] Study on the detection conditions of HDL subcomponents.
[0175] The results of the precision test of the detection system show that the precision of several HDL-related items, such as HDL-PLIP, HDL2-PLIP and HDL3-PLIP, is generally low. Based on the experimental principle of this invention, we adjusted (increased) the density of the diluent, the density of the density solution, and the centrifugation time to try to find better detection conditions for HDL subcomponents.
[0176] Take 50 μl of serum and add 1950 μl of the diluent from Table 16, dilute, and mix well. Take a 5.1 mL Polyallomer quick-seal tube, add 3800 μl of the density solution from Table 16, and then slowly add 1200 μl of the pre-diluted serum sample from the bottom. Place the centrifuge tube in a VTi-65.2 rotor and centrifuge using a Beckman ultracentrifuge. Parameters: speed = 65000 rpm, centrifugation time according to Table 16, temperature = 23℃, acceleration = 6, deceleration = 6.
[0177] After centrifugation, the sample was carefully transferred to a lipid subfraction analyzer for testing. The testing parameters were: sample flow rate 1.0 mL / min and reagent flow rate 1.0 mL / min.
[0178] Using reagent D4 as the reaction reagent, the experiment was conducted according to the combination scheme shown in Table 16.
[0179] Table 16
[0180]
[0181] The experimental results are shown in Table 17.
[0182] Table 17
[0183]
[0184] As shown in Table 17, the HDL-related phospholipids in group E8 exhibited better precision, with HDL-PLIP less than 2.50%, HDL2-PLIP less than 4%, and HDL3-PLIP less than 3%. This represents a significant advantage compared to the previous precision of 3%–4% for HDL-PLIP, 5%–6% for HDL2-PLIP, and 3.5%–5% for HDL3-PLIP. Therefore, this invention can achieve even better HDL subcomponent detection results by adjusting (increasing) the density of the diluent, the density of the density solution, and the centrifugation time.
[0185] Example 6
[0186] Study on LDL subcomponent detection conditions.
[0187] The results of the precision test of the detection system show that the precision of several LDL-related items of LDL-PLIP and sdLDL-PLIP is generally poor. Based on the experimental principle of this invention, we can adjust (reduce) the density of the diluent and adjust (increase) the density of the density solution to try to find better detection conditions for LDL subcomponents.
[0188] Take 50 μl of serum and add 1950 μl of the diluent from Table 18, dilute, and mix well. Seal a 5.1 mL Polyallomer tube, add 3800 μl of the density solution from Table 18, and then slowly add 1200 μl of the pre-diluted serum sample from the bottom. Place the tube in a VTi-65.2 rotor and centrifuge using a Beckman ultracentrifuge. Parameters: Rotation speed = 65000 rpm, ω²t = 6.6 × 10⁻⁶ 10 rad 2 / sec, temperature=23℃, acceleration=6, deceleration=6.
[0189] After centrifugation, the sample was carefully transferred to a lipid subfraction analyzer for testing. The testing parameters were: sample flow rate 1.0 mL / min and reagent flow rate 1.0 mL / min.
[0190] Using reagent D4 as the reaction reagent, the experiment was conducted according to the combination scheme shown in Table 18.
[0191] Table 18
[0192]
[0193] The experimental results are shown in Table 19.
[0194] Table 19
[0195]
[0196] As shown in Table 19, the precision of LDL-related phospholipid measurements in group F12 is better, with LDL-PLIP less than 3% and sdLDL-PLIP approximately 4%. This is a significant advantage compared to the previous precision of 4%–5% for LDL-PLIP and 6%–8% for sdLDL-PLIP. Therefore, this invention can obtain better LDL subcomponent detection results by adjusting (reducing) the density of the diluent and adjusting (increasing) the density of the density solution.
