Description

The method of unmarked assessment aquaporin function based on THz wave technology
Technical field
The invention belongs to Terahertz field of measuring technique, and it is logical to be related to a kind of unmarked assessment water based on THz wave technology The method of road protein function.
Background technique
Water is Source of life.Aquaporin (aquaporin, AQP) is the transmembrane protein on cell membrane, selectivity The efficiently channel of transhipment hydrone.Since reporting first aquaporin (AQP1) for the first time since 1991, researcher is mutually secondary 13 kinds of aquaporins of Different Organs are now distributed widely in, for maintaining organ normal physiological function to play vital work With.AQP expression quantity and a variety of diseases such as functional status and tumour, cranial vascular disease, kidney trouble are closely related.Especially AQP Up-regulation is expressed in tumor tissues, and tumour cell is entered by rapid transport hydrone and mediates its migration, proliferation and invasion, and is joined With tumor neovasculature formation.Therefore accurate evaluation cell AQP functional status, the blocking agent for researching and developing targeting AQP, inhibition Agent or even agonist are the hot spot places of current cancer targeted therapy and imaging.
Cell AQP functional assessment mainly passes through the transhipment that measurement hydrone penetrates after birth under extracellular osmotic pressure situation of change Situation, macro manifestations are that the volume of cell and water content change.Based on this, assessment cell AQP functional method has light scattering at present The methods of method, microscopic image measurement method, optical interferometry, ion concentration responsive type fluorescent marker.Light scattering method is limited to artifact letter Number generate, less application;Microscopic image measurement is only applied to the Xenopus Oocytes of expression AQP in cell swelling process The analysis of stereomutation, data variation is larger, reliability is lower;Laser interference to the beam alignment of instrument and vibration require compared with Height, it is not very practical.Research from AQP functional study field leading force Verkman discloses: tradition is based on cubing AQP function evaluating method reliability is lower, thus is difficult to the drug that Effective selection really inhibits AQP function.Fluorescent marker rule As reliable appraisal procedure, by carrying out the yellowish green uniformly dyeing color of cytoplasmic calcium to the cellular layer being grown on solid support or turning Green colouring fluorescin, the variation of fluorescence signal obtains cell when changing using total internal reflection fluorescent platform assay osmotic gradient Volume kinetics change parameter, have the significant advantage that artifact error is small, photobleaching effect is low and result stability is high.But it is still It is to there is label to detect, it can damaging cells activity;And since evanescent wave penetration depth limits, it is only capable of obtaining the cell of submicron-scale Layer partial information.To sum up, still lack a kind of unmarked, reliable cell AQP function evaluating method at present.
Terahertz (Terahertz, THz) wave technology is a kind of novel markless detection technology.It is frequency 0.1~ The electromagnetic wave of 10THz (corresponding wavelength range is 30 μm of -3mm) has markless detection in microwave to the wave band of infrared transition Frequency spectrum advantage: magnetic resonance, the scattering of quasi- elastic neutron and incoherent neutron are compared in the corresponding 0.16 picosecond of rotation of 1THz frequency of oscillation The conventional methods such as scattering, THz technology are not necessarily to hydrogen deuterium exchange or sub-cooled, can will test moisture movement scale intracellular from femtosecond Level is promoted to picosecond and subpicosecond is horizontal, thus realize it is accurate, analyze intracellular Free water in real time and combine the aquation of water dynamic Mechanics has the potential assessed in real time applied to cell AQP function.But THz wave still faces THz applied to living cells detection Existing scale loses in matching problem and liquid phase environment between wavelength (1THz~300 μm) and cellular layer thickness (about 5~10 μm) Absorbing interference strongly to water, (water absorption coefficient is about 230cm at 1THz-1) the problems such as.It there is no at present by THz wave technology application In the relevant report of the unmarked evaluation areas of cell AQP function.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of unmarked assessment aquaporin egg based on THz wave technology The method of contour painting energy.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
