Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of nanomaterials, and particularly to a mass spectrometry flow universal cell coding reagent based on UIO-66 nanomaterials and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mass cytometry is an emerging high-throughput multi-parameter single-cell analysis technology, combining the advantages of flow cytometry and inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ICP-TOFMS). By using heavy atom isotopes (most of which are isotopes of lanthanides and cadmium) as mass tags, mass cytometry overcomes the fluorescence overlap and autofluorescence phenomena faced by traditional flow cytometry, and can detect the expression of more than 50 proteins in a single cell without any spectral compensation algorithm. Therefore, mass cytometry is favored by biologists in various research fields involving single-cell analysis, and is considered to be the next generation of flow cytometry. However, as a newly developed technology, mass cytometry still faces many problems, especially in large sample measurement. For example, the throughput of mass cytometry is about 300-500 cells per second, which is much lower than that of flow cytometry (>10000 cells per second). The lower throughput not only takes longer analysis time, but also leads to unpredictable changes in mass signal intensity, resulting in bias between different cell samples. In addition, heavy atom isotope tags are much more expensive than mature flow cytometer tags.

[0003] Encoding techniques have been widely applied in multiplexing technologies to solve these problems. By encoding each test sample separately and pooling them in one tube for mass cytometry staining and detection, the sample-to-sample variation and instrument bias can be effectively eliminated. This approach can also reduce the consumption of expensive mass cytometry reagents and time cost. Lanthanides were first used for mass cytometry encoding, but due to their occupation of the detection channel of commercial mass cytometry polymer (MCP) mass tags, the multiplexing detection capability of mass cytometry was limited. For example, Newell et al. reported a mass cytometry encoding strategy by unique lanthanide isotope (10 choose 3) combinations, which achieved up to 120 encodings and was used for high-dimensional analysis of antigen-specific T cells. To avoid occupying the MCP detection channel, the US company Fluidigm developed a new encoding strategy using 6 palladium isotopes instead of lanthanides, providing 20 unique encodings (6-choose-3). This is also the most commonly used commercial encoding product (Cell-ID 20-Plex PD encoding kit). However, this encoding strategy is based on intracellular labeling, which requires cell fixation and penetration through the cell membrane, limiting its application. Some encoding reagents coupled with specific molecules on the cell surface have also been developed. For example, Chiu reported a proportional encoding strategy by coupling an anti-CD45 antibody with lanthanide-coordinated semiconductor polymer dots, which achieved 16 encodings occupying 3 lanthanide isotope channels. Compared with intracellular encoding strategies, these encoding reagents can only encode cells with common surface molecules, but not different cells. Therefore, new mass cytometry cell surface encoding strategies with more encoding combinations, less lanthanide channel occupation, and higher universality are still challenging. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present application is to provide a mass spectrometry flow universal cell coding reagent based on UIO-66 nanomaterial and application thereof in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art. The present application aims to design a mass spectrometry flow cell surface coding reagent based on UIO-66(Zr) and UIO-66(Hf) metal organic framework materials (MOFs). The size of the two MOFs is controlled within 40 nanometers by adjusting the type and amount of the template agent, and the MOF nanoparticles with different Zr and Hf isotopes are adsorbed to the cell surface by electrostatic action to realize mass coding of the cells. The present application designs a mass spectrometry flow coding strategy based on the nanometer-sized UIO-66(Zr) and UIO-66(Hf) metal organic framework materials (MOFs), which has nine stable isotopes, only one of which coincides with the rare earth lanthanide series channel, and the strategy is combined with the cells by electrostatic adsorption and is independent of specific molecules on the cell surface, so that coding of all kinds of cells can be realized, and at most 84 mass spectrometry flow coding can be realized; after the MOF surface is modified with a fluorescein molecule, mass spectrometry flow and fluorescence flow coding and cell imaging can be realized at the same time.

[0122] Referring to Figure 5 For the test analysis results of the present embodiment, it can be seen from the test results that the white blood cells have no signal on the flow cytometer FITC channel, and the cells after incubation with UIO-66(Hf)-FITC generate obvious FITC signals on the FITC channel (Fig. A, B); all cells after incubation with UIO-66(Hf)-FITC have green fluorescence under the FITC field of view of the confocal microscope (Fig. C, D), proving that UIO-66(Hf)-FITC can be effectively adsorbed to the cell surface.

[0155] Reference Figure 8 The test and analysis results of this example show that the proportion of each cell population after coding with a single UIO-66 nanomaterial is consistent with the proportion of coding with commercial MCP labels, and no Hf element signal is detected on the cells coded with UIO-66(Zr), and no Zr element signal is detected on the cells coded with UIO-66(Hf), proving that UIO-66 can be firmly adsorbed on the coded cells without falling off to affect the coding results.

[0166] Reference Figure 9 For the test and analysis results of the present embodiment, it can be seen from the test results that the use of two kinds of nanomaterials, UIO-66(Zr) and UIO-66(Zr), to simultaneously encode a kind of cell can also effectively distinguish it from other cells, and therefore it is feasible to prepare a plurality of UIO-66 nanomaterials using different isotopes (e.g. 90 Zr, 91 Zr, 92 Zr, 94 Zr, 174 Hf, 176 Hf, 177 Hf, 178 Hf, 179 Hf, 180 Hf) and to use a plurality of UIO-66 nanomaterials to combine encoding of cells.
