Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanobiotechnology, specifically to antibody complexes based on chitosan and cerium oxide modification, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique based on the principle of specific antigen-antibody binding, using chemical labeling technology to locate, characterize, and semi-quantitatively detect specific antigens within tissues or cells. Traditional clinical tumor pathology diagnosis using IHC primarily relies on paraffin sections and multi-stage antibody amplification systems to detect tumor markers. However, this requires multiple pretreatment steps such as fixation and embedding, which is time-consuming when dealing with large numbers of samples, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid diagnosis. Intraoperative pathology diagnosis currently relies mainly on morphological interpretation through hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) of frozen sections. However, due to inherent defects such as ice crystal artifacts during tissue processing, misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis is common, placing significant pressure on pathological confirmation. Currently, only a few IHC reagents are available to assist in rapid frozen section pathology diagnosis, but these are expensive and have low clinical application rates. Therefore, developing rapid IHC detection reagents for clinical diagnosis to address these two problems, significantly shortening detection time, is of great practical significance for improving the efficiency of pathological diagnosis.

[0003] Ki67 is a cell cycle-dependent nuclear antigen whose expression level is significantly positively correlated with tumor cell proliferation activity. It has been incorporated into the routine pathological diagnostic system for various solid tumors, such as breast cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer. Quantitative analysis of the Ki67 labeling index (LI) using IHC technology can provide crucial information for tumor grading, prognostic assessment, and treatment selection. However, existing Ki67 IHC detection reagents have lengthy procedures, typically requiring 30-40 minutes of primary antibody incubation and 20-30 minutes of secondary antibody incubation, which is time-consuming and cannot be applied to intraoperative pathological diagnosis. To address this, researchers have increased antibody incubation temperatures or modified monoclonal antibodies to form polymerase-labeled Fab conjugates, amplifying the detection signal to shorten antibody incubation time. However, these improved methods are complex and require blocking endogenous horseradish peroxidase activity, further prolonging the detection time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an antibody complex based on chitosan and cerium oxide modification, its preparation method, and its application. This invention uses chitosan, cerium oxide nanozyme, and Ki67 monoclonal antibody as raw materials, and forms a ternary composite structure through electrostatic self-assembly to obtain an antibody complex based on chitosan and cerium oxide modification. Using this antibody complex in an IHC detection system, highly sensitive detection of tumor markers can be achieved within 20 minutes. This solves the problem of existing improved methods having complex operating procedures and requiring the blocking of endogenous horseradish peroxidase activity, thus prolonging the detection time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The first objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing an antibody complex based on chitosan and cerium oxide modification, comprising the following steps: S1. Using positively charged chitosan and negatively charged cerium oxide nanozymes as raw materials, a chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex is formed through charge attraction.

[0006] S2. Using Ki67 monoclonal antibody and chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex as raw materials, electrostatic self-assembly was carried out to form a ternary composite structure, resulting in an antibody complex based on chitosan and cerium oxide modification.

[0007] The Ki67 monoclonal antibody was purchased from Guangzhou Mianyi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0008] It should be noted that in this invention, the construction of the chitosan and cerium oxide-modified antibody complex is based on triple electrostatic interactions. First, the chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex is assembled: chitosan carries a positive charge at pH < 6.5, while the cerium oxide nanozyme carries a negative charge due to the ionization of its surface hydroxyl groups. The positive and negative charges attract each other to form the chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex. Zeta potential detection shows that the surface charge of the assembled complex is positive. Second, antibody conjugation occurs: the Ki67 monoclonal antibody has an isoelectric point of approximately 8.5 at pH 7.4, giving it a negative charge. This negatively charged antibody self-assembles with the positively charged chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex through electrostatic interactions, forming a stable ternary structure, which acts as a "signal amplification unit," enhancing detection sensitivity.

[0009] Chitosan, as a natural cationic polymer, differs from most neutral or anionic polysaccharides in that it can bind to negatively charged materials such as cerium oxide nanozymes and proteins such as Ki67 monoclonal antibodies through electrostatic interactions, forming stable multilayer structures or electrostatic complexes, providing a basis for the construction of ternary complexes. Secondly, chitosan can significantly reduce carrier toxicity, improve biocompatibility, and increase delivery efficiency by modifying the surface charge properties of carriers. Therefore, the inherently positively charged nature of chitosan allows for coupling with negatively charged materials and proteins, providing a new strategy for the design of intraoperative rapid diagnostic probes.

[0010] The cerium oxide nanozymes exhibit a variety of enzymatic activities, thanks to the rapid valence state switching mediated by oxygen vacancies in their surface active sites. Compared to natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP), cerium oxide nanozymes maintain better stability and catalytic activity over a wider range of temperature and pH conditions, making them easier to store and use. Furthermore, cerium oxide nanozymes are highly tunable; their structure, size, surface properties, and catalytic activity can be controlled by altering the preparation method, doping with other elements, or combining them with other materials to meet the needs of different applications.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of cerium oxide nanozyme to chitosan is 1:1 to 8, more preferably 1:4.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the cerium oxide nanozyme stock solution is 1 mg / mL to 1.5 mg / mL, more preferably 1 mg / mL.

The purpose of sonication is to eliminate nanoparticle aggregation.

The purpose of washing is to remove unbound cerium oxide nanozymes.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific method for electrostatic self-assembly to form a ternary composite structure is as follows: S1. Resuspend the chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex in phosphate buffer to obtain a chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex solution.

[0021] S2. Ki67 monoclonal antibody was added to the chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex solution, and an electrostatic self-assembly reaction occurred at room temperature.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the centrifugation speed is 15000 rpm and the time is 10 min to 15 min; the washing is performed 3 times with phosphate buffer.

[0025] A third objective of this invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned chitosan and cerium oxide-modified antibody complex in an immunohistochemical detection reagent.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an antibody complex based on chitosan and cerium oxide is added to the pretreated slides, incubated, and then stained; the slides are frozen slides or paraffin slides.

[0027] On the one hand, the traditional method for detecting Ki67 protein in paraffin sections using IHC includes the following steps: (1) Gradient dewaxing: Paraffin sections with a thickness of 3 μm were immersed in the following sequence: xylene I for 1 min, xylene II for 1 min, a mixture of xylene and anhydrous ethanol for 30 sec, anhydrous ethanol I for 30 sec, anhydrous ethanol II for 30 sec, 95% ethanol for 30 sec, 85% ethanol for 30 sec, 75% ethanol for 30 sec, 50% ethanol for 30 sec, pure water for 30 sec, and 1×PBS buffer for 1 min, repeated 3 times.

Remove the antigen retrieval solution from the microwave oven and cool for 2 minutes, then microwave on low for 15 minutes. Next, once the temperature has dropped below 50°C, wash the sections with 1×PBS buffer for 1 minute, repeating 3 times.

[0029] (3) Add the antibody complex modified with chitosan and cerium oxide and incubate for 10 min.

[0030] (4) Soak the sections in 1×PBS buffer to wash them.

[0031] (5) DAB color development: Dilute the DAB color development solution with pure water at a volume ratio of 1:20, add it to the slice, incubate for 1 min, and observe the color development under a microscope.

[0032] (6) Rinse the tissue with pure water.

[0033] (7) Counterstain with hematoxylin for 1 min to 2 min, then rinse with pure water.

[0034] (8) Use anti-blue solution to perform anti-blueing until the tissue can be clearly seen to change from purple to blue with the naked eye.

[0035] (9) Tissue dehydration, clearing, and fixation: The sections were soaked in the following order: 50% ethanol for 30 seconds, 75% ethanol for 30 seconds, 85% ethanol for 30 seconds, 95% ethanol for 30 seconds, anhydrous ethanol for 30 seconds, a 1:1 mixture of xylene and anhydrous ethanol for 30 seconds, and xylene for 1 minute. Then, neutral resin was added for mounting to achieve rapid detection of Ki67 protein in traditional paraffin sections.

[0036] In this invention, DAB is 3,3'-diaminobenzidine.

[0037] On the other hand, the method for detecting Ki67 protein in intraoperative frozen sections by IHC includes the following steps: (1) Cut fresh tissue into 1cm×1cm×0.5cm tissue blocks, place them in a mold, add embedding agent OCT, and freeze rapidly in an ultra-low temperature freezer.

The volume ratio of xylene to anhydrous ethanol in the xylene and anhydrous ethanol mixture was 1:1. Neutral resin was then added for mounting to enable rapid detection of Ki67 protein in frozen sections using IHC.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention provides a method for preparing an antibody complex based on chitosan and cerium oxide modification. Using chitosan (CS), cerium oxide nanozyme, and Ki67 monoclonal antibody as raw materials, the complex is formed through electrostatic self-assembly. Specifically, positively charged chitosan and negatively charged cerium oxide nanozyme attract each other to form a positively charged chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex. The positive charge of the chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex originates from the inherent negative charge of cerium oxide; after modification with positively charged chitosan, the complex becomes positively charged overall. Subsequently, the negatively charged Ki67 monoclonal antibody and the positively charged chitosan / cerium oxide nanozyme complex undergo electrostatic self-assembly to form a ternary composite structure, namely the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complex. Chitosan provides the positive charge base, constructs the complex framework, and optimizes biocompatibility. The cerium oxide nanozyme replaces traditional HRP to provide enzyme-like catalytic activity, ensuring stability and practicality, and participating in electrostatic assembly. It is suitable for detection in both frozen and paraffin sections, thus having a wide range of applications. This solves the problem that existing improved methods have complex operating procedures and require blocking endogenous horseradish peroxidase activity, which prolongs the detection time.

[0048] 2. The antibody complex provided by this invention replaces the traditional multi-stage reaction with a one-step incubation, significantly shortening the detection time. The entire process of intraoperative frozen section detection takes ≤20 minutes. For ultra-rapid IHC of frozen sections from common intraoperative breast, lung, and thyroid cancers, only 20 minutes are required, meeting the needs of rapid intraoperative pathological evaluation. The total time for paraffin section detection is ≤60 minutes, far lower than the ≥100 minutes of traditional IHC methods. Furthermore, the antibody complex exhibits no non-specific staining in paraffin sections of various cancers and adjacent tissues; its specificity and staining intensity are comparable to traditional IHC performed with commercially available Ki67 antibodies.

[0049] 3. The cost of single-sample detection of the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complex provided by this invention for IHC is only 0.225 yuan, which is about 89% lower than the 2.5 yuan of traditional IHC. This is beneficial to reducing the cost of clinical diagnosis and increasing the clinical application rate of the detection system. Attached Figure Description

[0091] The structure and properties of the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complexes from Examples 1 to 7 were tested.

[0092] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure and self-assembly mechanism of the CS-CeO2-Ki67 composite of the present invention.

[0093] Figure 2 These are the FTIR spectra of the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complexes from Examples 1 to 5 of this invention. Figure 2 It can be seen that the FTIR spectra of CS, CeO2, and CS-CeO2 are located at 1690 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak at 1729 cm⁻¹ is the vibrational absorption peak of the C=C bond. -1 The peak at 1030 cm⁻¹ corresponds to the vibrational absorption peak of the C=O bond, specifically the -COOH group on CeO₂. -1 and 1545cm -1 Two distinct vibrational absorption peaks are observed, corresponding to the stretching vibration of CO in the primary alcohol and the bending vibration of NH in the amino group, respectively. (511 cm⁻¹) -1 The absorption peak at that point corresponds to the O-Ce group on CeO2. The CeO2-CS spectrum shows characteristic absorption peaks corresponding to CeO2 and CS, respectively, proving that CS and CeO2 have been successfully coupled.

[0094] Figure 3The images show the UV-Vis spectra of the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complexes from Examples 1 and 6-7 of this invention. Figure 3 It can be seen that proteins have light absorption at 280 nm. Ki67, CS-CeO2:Ki67=1:1, CS-CeO2:Ki67=1:2 and CS-CeO2:Ki67=1:4 show different absorption peaks at 280 nm. When the ratio of CS-CeO2 to Ki67 is 1:1, as shown in Example 6, the blue line partially overlaps with the purple line, indicating that the number of Ki67 antibodies coupled to CS-CeO2 reaches its maximum value.

[0095] Figure 4 The image shows the zeta potential diagrams of the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complexes of Examples 1 to 7 of this invention. Figure 4 Figure A shows the Zeta potential diagrams for Examples 1-5, and Figure B shows the Zeta potential diagrams for Examples 1 and 6-7. Figure 4 As shown in Figure A, the Zeta potential diagram reveals that CeO2 has a strong negative charge. After CS modification, the CeO2-CS system becomes positively charged overall. As the size of molecules or dispersed particles decreases, the Zeta potential of the system, regardless of its polarity, increases accordingly, thereby enhancing the system's stability and enabling it to effectively resist aggregation and maintain a good dissolved or dispersed state. When the Zeta potential decreases, regardless of polarity, the attractive force between particles in the system gradually exceeds the repulsive force, leading to the disruption of the dispersed state and subsequent coagulation or aggregation. Therefore, when CeO2:CS = 1:4, the Zeta potential reaches its maximum value, indicating that the CeO2-CS system is the most stable. This ratio of CeO2-CS was subsequently used for conjugation of the Ki67 antibody. Figure 4 As shown in Figure B, when CeO2-CS:Ki67=1:1, the Zeta potential of CS-CeO2-Ki67 reaches its maximum value, and the system is most stable at this time.

[0096] Next, to demonstrate whether the CS-CeO2-Ki67 antibody can be used in intraoperative pathological tissues, this invention uses the CS-CeO2-Ki67 complex to perform IHC on frozen sections of lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and adjacent non-cancerous tissues, with Dako's commercially available Ki67 as a positive control for routine IHC.
