Abstract
Description
Polypeptide, polypeptide-modified magnetic beads, and preparation methods and applications thereof
[0001] This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 2024101447158, filed on February 1, 2024. The entire text of the aforementioned Chinese Patent Application is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to a polypeptide, polypeptide-modified magnetic beads, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0003] With the development of life science and technology, the properties of proteins in human blood can now directly reflect the body's pathological and physiological states. Most disease-related markers are related to proteins in the blood, and the plasma proteome is also the most complex human proteome.
[0004] Despite continued advances in molecular diagnostic technology, non-invasive screening tests for early cancer detection are virtually non-existent for most tumor diseases. The very limited number of screening methods currently available, such as PSA testing for prostate cancer, colonoscopy for colorectal cancer, mammography for breast cancer, and low-dose CT scans for lung cancer, suffer from low specificity and sensitivity. Some require complex procedures and are labor-intensive, are prone to false positives, and are prohibitively expensive for routine screening. The need for developing non-invasive early cancer detection and screening remains urgent.
[0005] Magnetic nanoparticles are the most widely studied and applied biomedical nanomaterials. They can be used to separate DNA, RNA, proteins, etc. from blood in a simple and low-cost manner.
[0006] When magnetic nanoparticles are mixed with human blood, both high- and low-abundance blood proteins can be adsorbed to the nanoparticles, forming a "protein corona." However, experiments have found that low-abundance protein markers for some diseases account for a very low proportion of total protein in the blood. Conventional magnetic nanoparticles, when adsorbing proteins without bias, preferentially adsorb high-abundance proteins, preventing some low-abundance proteins from binding to the magnetic nanoparticles and, therefore, preventing subsequent separation and mass spectrometry detection.
[0007] The main methods for specific protein adsorption are:
[0008] Immunoaffinity chromatography: A specific antibody binds to the target protein, creating an immunoaffinity chromatography system on a chromatography column. When the plasma sample passes through the column, the target protein binds to the antibody and is retained, then eluted with a buffer solution. If the target protein has multiple isoforms or structural variations, specificity may be reduced, resulting in ineffective antibody recognition and binding. Furthermore, the antibody preparation process is time-consuming and expensive.
[0009] Affinity adsorption chromatography: Affinity adsorption chromatography systems are constructed using chemical or biological affinity agents that specifically bind to the target protein. This process requires a long time and high costs to obtain the appropriate affinity agent for the target protein, and the experimental conditions are more complex and stringent.
[0010] Affinity membrane adsorption: Specific antibodies against the target protein are immobilized on the membrane surface, and the plasma sample is filtered through the membrane. Affinity membranes are easily damaged and degraded.
[0011] The above methods generally have the disadvantages of poor specificity in selecting target proteins, high cost, cumbersome procedures, and the need for complex operations and experimental conditions. Therefore, a plasma protein detection method with simple procedures and good specificity is urgently needed.
[0012] Summary of the Invention

Experimental methods in the following examples where specific conditions are not specified were performed according to conventional methods and conditions, or selected according to the product specifications.
[0061] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the process for preparing polypeptide-modified magnetic beads and detecting plasma proteins using the polypeptide-modified magnetic beads according to the present invention. Specific examples are described below.
[0062] Example 1
[0063] (1) Selection of peptide sequences
[0064] The input layer data of the ELM model was constructed using PFAM (20404 human protein domain IDs). The motif sequence that the corresponding domain could bind to was found through the ELM machine learning algorithm, and then the peptide sequence and the ID of the target protein were obtained.
[0065] By using the above machine learning algorithm, the PPH peptide with the sequence HWQIAYNEHQWQC [SEQ ID NO: 1] was selected to capture 29 target proteins. The specific protein IDs are:
[0066] Table 1. Target proteins of PPH peptides
[0067] (2) Preparation of Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal (MS-PM)
[0068] Fe3O4@SiO2 was modified with silane-PEG-Mal (silane-polyethylene glycol-maleimide, Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) (hot solvent method, Hangzhou Luomi Medical Technology Co., Ltd.). The specific operation is as follows:
[0069] 1. First, add 13 mg of silane-PEG-Mal (molecular weight 5 kDa) to 2 mL of deionized water and mix well (to obtain a silane-PEG-Mal aqueous solution with a molar concentration of 1300 μM). Incubate at 20°C with constant temperature and oscillation for 10 minutes to hydrolyze the silane-PEG-Mal and obtain -OH groups on the surface.
[0070] 2. Add 2 mL of 15 mg / mL Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic beads to a 10 mL centrifuge tube;
[0071] 3. Add 1 mL of deionized water to the centrifuge tube in step 2 and ultrasonicate in an ultrasonic cleaner for 5 minutes to disperse it evenly;
[0072] 4. Take 2 mL of the silane-PEG-Mal solution (a 1300 μM aqueous solution) hydrolyzed in step 1 and add it to the centrifuge tube in step 3. After sonication for 5 minutes, place it in a constant temperature oscillator at 25°C for 17 hours.
[0073] 5. Place the centrifuge tube in step 4 on a magnetic rack, wash it three times with ultrapure water, add 5 mL of deionized water (Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal concentration is 6 mg / L) to the centrifuge tube, and place it in a 4°C refrigerator for use.
[0074] (3) Preparation of Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal-PPH (MS-PM-PPH)
[0075] 1. Dissolve 20 mg of peptide powder (purchased from GenScript Biotech Co., Ltd.) in 10 mL of deionized water. Mix on an oscillating mixer for 20 seconds and sonicate for 5 minutes to fully dissolve the peptide to form a 2 mg / mL (1150 μM) solution. Add 100 μL of 200 mM TCEP solution to 4 mL of the dissolved peptide solution and let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours. This step is optional to prevent the formation of disulfide bonds in the peptide and to facilitate their premature removal.
[0076] 2. Then adjust the pH to 7.0 using 600 mM NaOH solution;
[0077] 3. Add 500 μL of Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal (6 mg / mL), 200 μL of deionized water, and 300 μL of peptide (1150 μM) to a 5 mL centrifuge tube in sequence, for a total volume of 1000 μL.
[0078] 4. Ultrasonicate the solution obtained in step 3 in an ultrasonic cleaner for 5 minutes to make it uniformly dispersed;
[0079] 5. After ultrasonication, place the tube in a constant temperature oscillator at 25°C for 17 hours;
[0080] 6. Wash twice with ethanol and twice with deionized water, and place in a 4°C refrigerator for later use.
[0081] (3.1) Particle size and zeta potential
[0082] The particle size and Zeta potential of Fe3O4@SiO2, Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal, and Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-polypeptide were tested respectively. The results are shown in Figures 2-4 and Table 2. The modification and selection of negative potential polypeptides have almost no effect on the dispersibility and potential of the magnetic beads.

[0084] (3.2) UV-visible spectrum test
[0085] Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal (MS-PM) and peptide-modified magnetic beads were subjected to UV-visible spectroscopy tests, and the results are shown in Figure 5. It can be seen from the spectrum that the MS-PM nanoparticles before peptide modification have an obvious absorption peak at 459nm. After peptide modification, the absorption peak at 450nm is significantly reduced, indicating that the peptide modification is successful.
[0086] (3.3) Fluorescence visible spectrum test
[0087] The PPH termini were modified with FITC to verify the successful PPH modification of Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal (MS-PM). Fe3O4@SiO2-PEG-Mal was modified with PPH-FITC at concentrations ranging from 0 to 0.105 mg / mL. Fluorescence spectra of the modified MS-PM-PPH-FITC were then analyzed. The results are shown in Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 shows that the fluorescence intensity of MS-PM-FITC gradually increases with increasing fluorescent peptide concentration, reaching a maximum at a PPH-FITC concentration of 0.052 mg / mL. At this concentration, the fluorescence intensity in the supernatant is relatively low, demonstrating that the PPH modification is maximized at this concentration. Figure 7 also shows that the highest binding efficiency, reaching 73.98%, is achieved at a PPH-FITC concentration of 0.052 mg / mL.
[0088] (4) Plasma protein adsorption and mass spectrometry detection
[0089] (4.1) Incubation: 100 μL (6 mg / mL) of peptide-modified magnetic beads and 100 μL of human plasma (diluted 1:5 with PBS) were mixed into a centrifuge tube and incubated at room temperature for 1 h at a frequency of 1700 rpm. The centrifuge tube was placed on a magnetic rack and washed three times with 200 μL of 1× PBS, and the supernatant was discarded. 50 μL of 8M urea and 20 mM DTT in 1× PBS was added and incubated at 37°C for 1 h at 1700 rpm. 20 μL of 0.2M IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) was added and incubated at room temperature for 0.5 h at 1700 rpm. 130 μL of 0.0067 μg / μL trypsin and 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate solution was added and incubated at 37°C for 16 h at 1700 rpm. 20 μL of 5 wt% TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) aqueous solution was added.

[0092] (4.4) Plasma treated with peptide-modified magnetic beads was subjected to mass spectrometry (tims TOF Pro2, Bruker Corporation). The ELM machine learning algorithm screened 29 target proteins for the PPH peptides. The PPH peptide-modified magnetic beads captured 20 of these target proteins, representing approximately 69.0% of the expected capture rate. All 20 captured target proteins were low-abundance proteins.
