Description

Fluorescence-patch clamp-micro suction tube detection device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the integration of a fluorescence imaging technology, a patch clamp technology and a micropipette technology, in particular to a detection device capable of detecting the regulation rule of interaction between membrane potential and protein molecules and researching transmembrane signal conduction of membrane protein.
Background
The membrane potential of the cell membrane is a key regulatory factor for the vital activities of the cell. The membrane potential of the neuron plays an important role in regulating and controlling various vital activities of the neuron, and is an important biophysical factor for dynamically regulating and controlling the structure and function of a brain neural network; in non-neuronal cells, the membrane potential of the cell also regulates its vital activities such as proliferation and differentiation. The patch clamp technology is an effective means for researching the problems related to the membrane potential, and the whole-cell recording mode of the patch clamp technology can realize accurate and rapid control of the membrane potential of the whole cell membrane. However, patch clamping is currently primarily limited to studies of ion channel characteristics.
The membrane protein is the main receptor for the cell to sense the external environment and respond, and how most protein molecules on the cell membrane sense the membrane potential change to adjust the dynamic function of the cell membrane is not analyzed. The major bottleneck is the lack of direct and effective research means.
Micropipette technology is widely used for in situ detection of kinetic parameters of protein-protein interaction. In the detection process of the micropipette experiment, protein molecules are constantly in the microenvironment of the cell membrane (the protein molecules to be detected are respectively connected and expressed on erythrocytes and cell surfaces). Therefore, the micropipette experiment has the advantage of being unique in detecting the interaction between the membrane receptor and the ligand. The fusion of the patch clamp technology and the micropipette technology provides possibility for researching the dynamic regulation and control of the membrane potential change on the interaction between the membrane proteins under physiological conditions.
In addition, the fluorescence imaging technology is widely applied to the research of transmembrane signal transduction of membrane proteins, and only the integration of the patch clamp technology into the micropipette technology can only research the influence of membrane potential change on the interaction of the membrane proteins, but cannot research the influence of the membrane potential change on the transmembrane signal of the membrane proteins. Therefore, the transmembrane signal transduction of the membrane protein can be further researched by further integrating the fluorescence imaging technology on the basis of the integration of the patch clamp technology. The fluorescence imaging-patch clamp-micropipette technology which integrates three spectral phase information of fluorescence spectrum, electrophysiological spectrum and adhesion frequency can detect the influence of the potential change of the cell membrane on the interaction of the membrane protein and simultaneously observe the influence of the potential change of the cell membrane on the transmembrane signal conduction of the membrane protein in real time.

The specific implementation working process of the invention is as follows:
the invention designs a new experimental scheme based on the experimental purpose of a fluorescence-patch clamp-micropipette detection device.
Specifically, in the preparation process of the experimental cavity 22, the suspension cells 32 expressing the target membrane protein molecules and intracellular fluorescent proteins are adhered to the glass sheet 35 on the bottom surface of the experimental cavity through polylysine and are in a semi-adherent state;
the red blood cells 33 with the surface connected with another protein molecule are added into the extracellular fluid in the experimental cavity 22;
an experimental operator selects a target cell 32 with a smooth surface and a strong fluorescence signal, moves the target cell 32 to the middle of a visual field by moving an objective table of the inverted microscope 28, and controls the glass electrode 25 to perform the operations of sealing, membrane rupture, compensation and the like on the target cell 32 by operating the second three-dimensional micromanipulator 24;
the experiment operator controls the micro-suction pipe 34 to suck a red blood cell 33 by operating the first three-dimensional micromanipulator 23;
setting voltage stimulation parameters (waveform, amplitude, frequency and the like), micropipette experiment parameters (contact time of the red blood cells 33 and the cells 32 and the like), and fluorescence imaging module sampling parameters (exposure time, sampling interval and the like) by an experiment operator;
starting a data acquisition stage: the program automatically applies set voltage stimulation to the cells 32 in the whole-cell recording mode, and the program automatically displays and records current voltage and current information; the program cooperatively controls the fluorescent light source 11 and the fluorescent camera 16, automatic sampling is carried out according to set fluorescent parameters (exposure time, sampling interval and the like), and after each sampling is finished, images of a fluorescent spectrum are automatically stored as independent files in a hard disk of the host 17 in an intensity array form; the program controls the red blood cells 33 to perform a cycle of movement of repeated contact-separation with the cells 32, and the experiment operator records the adhesion state of the cells 32 and the red blood cells 33 during each contact-separation process through real-time images of the display 6.
After the recording is finished (the recording time is the time of 50 contact-separation movement cycles), the voltage and current data in the current recording process and the adhesion state recorded manually (the frequency of the adhesion state is recorded as the adhesion frequency under the current membrane potential stimulation condition) are saved.
The experiment operator modifies the voltage stimulation parameters according to the experiment design and repeats the data acquisition stage;
by comparing the change of adhesion frequency under different voltage stimulation and the change of fluorescence signals in cells along with time, the micropipette technology of the integrated patch clamp can analyze the influence of the change of membrane potential on the interaction of membrane proteins and the influence of the change of the membrane potential on the transmembrane signal conduction of the membrane proteins.

Specifically, at the same time when the program starts the data acquisition phase, the fluorescence camera acquires a first image (at this time, the adhesion state spectrum controls the red blood cells 33 to start moving, and the electrophysiological spectrum starts outputting a voltage control signal), and then samples are performed at fixed time intervals; after that, at the moment when the movement state of the piezoelectric movement platform 19 changes (starts or stops moving), the data index of the electrophysiological spectrum is recorded into an independent index array file, and the index array file can be used for off-line restoration of the corresponding relationship between the movement state of the red blood cell 33 controlled by the micropipette technology and the voltage control signal and the current sampling signal on the same time scale. Therefore, the information of the three spectral phases can be corresponded on the same time scale, and the coupling relation of the information of the three spectral phases can be analyzed.
