The present invention discloses a method for
cell cycle labeling and identification based on organic
mass spectrometry detection technology, belonging to the technical field of
cell biology. Two types of
small molecule tags, namely
DNA-targeting molecules and
microtubule-targeting molecules, are used to
label cells, and the optimized labeling conditions can
label living cells. Such tags have good compatibility with organic
mass spectrometry detection technology, are applicable to various
ionization modes of organic
mass spectrometry analysis, have high dissociation efficiency during the
ionization process, and good
mass spectrometry response. The tag signals and
intracellular endogenous lipid signals can simultaneously serve as the basis for
cell cycle differentiation and identification, and have good differentiation and identification effects on the G0 / G1, S, G2, and M
cell cycle stages. While identifying the single-
cell cycle, this method can collect single-
cell metabolite information, and further study
cell metabolism-related activities at specific
cell cycle stages, and has broad application prospects in the fields of
stem cell analysis, tumor diagnosis, and
systems biology research.
