Description

Kit for marking single cell of red blood cell and detection method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a staining solution for cell labeling in mass cytometry, a kit containing the staining solution and a detection method using the kit. The staining solution, the kit and the detection method are particularly suitable for measuring the distribution of various elements of single cells of anucleated cells, particularly red blood cells.
Background
Mass spectrometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) is a single cell detection technology which develops rapidly in recent years, and is a flow cytometer based on the mass spectrometry detection principle, which adopts metal elements iridium (Ir) or rhodium (Rh) to mark cell nuclei for screening and identifying single cells; the method adopts non-radioactive rare earth elements as antibody labels, has accurate signals, a plurality of detection channels and high stability, and can simultaneously detect the information of at most 135 elements in a single cell compared with the traditional mass spectrometer because the overlapping interference of spectrum correction is not needed, thereby being an effective research means.
Erythrocytes are the main cell type of blood cells, have functions of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide, immunoadhesion, immunophagy and the like, play a certain buffering role in acid-base balance, and are very important for maintaining normal physiological activities of a living body.
The element content in the red blood cells reflects the biological accumulation of the elements and the transfer and transformation rules of the elements in the human body, and is closely related to the health of the human body. The distribution of element content has individual heterogeneity among single red blood cells, part of red blood cells have high element content, part of red blood cells have low element content, and the element content is closely related to the function and health effect of the red blood cells. The analysis of the element content in single erythrocyte has very important significance for researching the distribution rule, the transfer transformation rule and relevant physiological and pathological conditions.
At present, the detection of the element content in the red blood cells is limited to total amount detection, and the detection methods mainly include ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry (UV), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and the like. Therefore, there is a problem that only the average element content of red blood cells can be analyzed, and the difference in element content between individual red blood cells cannot be analyzed.
When single cell detection is carried out on erythrocytes, the main obstacle exists that the erythrocytes do not have cell nuclei, so that the erythrocytes cannot be marked by the metal elements iridium (Ir) or rhodium (Rh) used in the existing mass spectrometer; in addition, the red blood cells are characterized by easy rupture, and the red blood cells are very easy to rupture due to the change of the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cells, so that the complete cell morphology in the detection process is difficult to ensure.
In practice, it is often difficult to perform mass cytometry measurements at the first time after blood collection, depending on sample collection conditions, test equipment arrangement, parallel test scheduling, and the like. Therefore, it is desirable to have a reagent and method that can preserve a red blood cell sample for a long period of time while maintaining morphological integrity.
In view of the above, there is a need for new technical support for realizing element detection in single red blood cells, and long-term preservation agents which can be used in scientific research and commercial industries for keeping red blood cells intact.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a staining solution, a kit and a detection method thereof, which are suitable for detecting single cell elements of anucleated cells, particularly erythrocytes. The kit can realize the in-vitro long-term preservation of the red blood cells and is suitable for single cell element detection of a mass spectrum flow cytometer aiming at the red blood cells.
Osmate is a lipid reactive agent that can be used for preparation of transmission electron microscopy pathological diagnosis samples by staining cell membranes well using osmate fixative when observing tissue cells using transmission electron microscopy. In such applications, the concentration of osmic acid used is generally 2% (w/w), and sometimes 1% (w/w) is also used.
In flow cytometry, the labeling amount of the element osmium is strictly related to the size of a labeled cell, so that the signal of the element osmium can be used for distinguishing a whole single cell from cell fragments, and the detection of the single cell is realized. The inventors have found that the use of a catalyst having a concentration of 10 at the working concentration-5%~10-4% (w/v), preferably 3X 10-5%~7×10-5% (w/v), more preferably 5X 10-5%~7×10-5% (w/v) osmate solution as staining solution, good staining of cell samples, especially erythrocytes, was obtained in mass flow cytometry assay at single cell level.
Mass cytometry uses lanthanide metals, which are present in very low levels in cells, to label antibodies instead of traditional fluorescent proteins. Such an antibody labeled with a lanthanide is sometimes referred to herein simply as a metal-labeled antibody, wherein the metal-labeled antibody that binds to a specific cell (hereinafter referred to as a cell-specific metal-labeled antibody) is capable of specifically binding to the specific cell, thereby enabling screening and identification of the specific cell, for example, an erythrocyte-specific metal-labeled antibody can identify erythrocytes, distinguish erythrocytes from other cell types. When the lanthanide in the lanthanide-labeled antibody used in common is different from the lanthanide in the detection, 30 or even 40 kinds of antibodies can be used simultaneously for labeling. Herein, the capital letter M is sometimes used to represent the lanthanide.
The staining solution of the present invention can be used in combination with a metal-labeled antibody to favorably identify a target cell and label a single cell, thereby detecting the target cell at a single cell level. The staining solution for detecting a cytoelement of the present invention may be used in combination with other cell differentiation markers commonly used in the art, as long as the function of differentiating intact cells from cell debris can be utilized to successfully label the level of a single cell.

after washing the cells 3 times by centrifugation with ultrapure water, detection of elements in individual erythrocytes was completed by a mass flow cytometer.
The erythrocyte fixative is a reagent that can fix erythrocytes without rupturing erythrocytes, and is preferably a glutaraldehyde solution having a concentration of 2% to 5% (v/v), more preferably 2% to 3% (v/v).
Further, the staining solution, the kit and the erythrocyte typing solution of the present invention are preferably stored at a low temperature, and the storage condition is, for example, 2 to 8 ℃.

The cells are treated in the steps 1) to 3) and then suspended in a staining buffer, and the cells can be stored in a refrigerator at-80 ℃ for a long time and can be stored for 1 month at most.
Example 1
In this example, the effect of preservation at low temperature (-80 ℃) of erythrocytes isolated from peripheral blood of mice by treatment with glutaraldehyde solution and paraformaldehyde solution was compared.
The specific implementation process is as follows:
1) 5 parts of 0.1ml of fresh mouse (Bal/bc) anticoagulated whole blood was taken, and 0.3ml of PBS (containing no calcium or magnesium ions, unless otherwise specified, the same shall apply hereinafter) was added thereto and mixed well to obtain 0.4ml of single cell suspension.
2) 1.6ml of a glutaraldehyde solution having a concentration of 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 5% (v/v) or 1.6ml of a 4% paraformaldehyde solution was added dropwise thereto, respectively, while continuously vortexing the cell suspension, and allowed to stand at ordinary temperature for 20 min.
3) The cells were washed 2 times with PBS by centrifugation (800G, 5min) and the supernatant was discarded;
4) the treated cells were suspended in 1ml of a staining buffer (1XPBS, HyClone) containing 1% (w/v) of bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma) in PBS (1xPBS, HyClone) and not containing calcium and magnesium ions, as not specifically mentioned, hereinafter the same), and frozen in a freezer at-80 ℃;
5) after 2 weeks, the cryopreserved cells were removed, thawed naturally at room temperature, centrifuged (800G, 5min), the supernatant was discarded, the color of the supernatant in the tube was observed, and red blood was observed to indicate that red blood cells were damaged.
The cells treated with a glutaraldehyde solution of 2.5% (v/v) concentration were divided into 2 parts, and the cell morphology was observed by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a laser scanning confocal microscope (CLSM), respectively.
A photograph of the supernatant after treatment with glutaraldehyde and paraformaldehyde is shown in FIG. 1 a.
The results show that: the supernatants obtained by treatment with glutaraldehyde solutions at concentrations of 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 5% (v/v) were colorless and transparent, while the supernatants obtained by treatment with paraformaldehyde solutions were red. It is preliminarily presumed that the red blood cells treated with paraformaldehyde solution were damaged and released hemoglobin after the freezing and thawing process, so that the supernatant appeared red (right side of FIG. 1 a), while the red blood cells remained morphologically intact after the treatment with 2.5% (v/v) glutaraldehyde solution (left side of FIG. 1 a).
FIG. 1b shows the morphology of glutaraldehyde-treated erythrocytes observed by SEM, FIG. 1c and FIG. 1d by CLSM. As can be seen from FIGS. 1b, 1c and 1d, after the treatment with the erythrocyte fixative of the present invention containing glutaraldehyde, and the cryopreservation and thawing, the cell membrane of the erythrocytes remains intact, and the whole cell morphology is oval, which can be used for the subsequent single cell detection.
It was further demonstrated that the intact preservation of erythrocytes for a long time can be achieved by using glutaraldehyde solutions of 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 5% (v/v), in particular of 2.5% (v/v), as the erythrocyte fixative. The reason for this is presumed to be that glutaraldehyde solution influences protein configuration by forming intermolecular cross-links, thereby fixing the morphological structure of cells.
Example 2
Suitable concentrations of osmate label for determining the distribution of individual cellular elements are investigated in this example.
1) Blood sampling: preparing 3 female Balb/c mice, and putting whole blood of the mice into a heparin sodium anticoagulation tube;
2) adding 0.1ml of the whole blood into 0.3ml of PBS, and uniformly mixing to obtain 0.4ml of cell suspension;
3) dropwise adding 1.6ml of 2.5% (v/v) glutaraldehyde solution while continuously vortexing the cell suspension, and standing at normal temperature for 20 min;
4) the cells were washed 2 times with PBS by centrifugation (800G, 5min) and the supernatant was discarded;
5) all cells were suspended in 1ml of staining buffer and stored in a freezer at-80 ℃;
6) taking out the frozen cells, naturally thawing at room temperature, centrifuging (800G for 5min), and discarding the supernatant;
7) taking about 4 × 10 obtained by thawing6Suspending the cells in 50. mu.l of staining buffer, adding 50. mu.l of staining buffer containing 1.1. mu.l of anti-mouse Ter119-154Sm antibody (3154005B, Fuluda), mixing well, and standing at room temperature for 30 min;
8) cells were washed 2 times by centrifugation (800G, 5min) with staining buffer, and the supernatant was discarded to contain about 4X 10 per 100. mu.l6The density of individual cells was dispersed in PBS;
9) to 100. mu.l of each of the above cell PBS suspensions was added dropwise 1ml of 5X 10-6%、10-5%、3×10-5%、5×10-5%、7×10-5%、10-4%、5×10-5% w/v osmate solution while vortexing the cell suspension continuously and standing at room temperature for 10 min;
10) cells were washed 2 times by centrifugation (800G, 5min) with staining buffer and the supernatant was discarded;
11) suspending the cells in 1ml of staining buffer, and storing in a refrigerator at-80 ℃;
12) before detecting lead element in single erythrocyte by using mass flow cytometry (Helios), the cell frozen at-80 ℃ is naturally thawed, and the cell is washed by using ultrapure water for 3 times by centrifugation (800G, 5min) and then loaded. EQbeads were used for internal reference.
Mass cytometry detection parameters:
cell suspension sample injection flow rate: 30 to 31 μ l/min,
the rate of event collection is < 500 events/s,
EQbeads concentration: 10 to 15 percent of the total weight of the mixture,
EQbeads monitoring element: 140/142Ce (cerium), 151/153Eu (europium), 165Ho (holmium), 175/176Lu (lutetium);
elements to be tested:154Sm(Ter119)、78Se、88Sr、127I、192Os、190Os、208Pb、209Bi。
the results of the detection are shown in FIG. 2.
As a result: in fig. 2a, the Y-axis is the proportion of individual cells labelled with 7 different concentrations of osmate and the X-axis is the osmate concentration. Among them, 5X 10 is known-6% osmate concentration, the proportion of stained single cells was significantly lower than other concentrations, confirming that this concentration stained poorly and was not suitable as a condition for single cell detection.
FIGS. 2 b-2 h are scattergrams of a flow cytometer, where each dot represents a cell, and dark represents high cell density and light represents low cell density. Scatter plots further confirm that osmic acid concentration is 5X 10-6(w/v), the cell population was dispersed, confirming that the staining effect at this concentration was poor; in osmic acid solution at concentration of 5X 10-4In% (w/v), the upper end of the cell population was clearly shifted to the right, suggesting that the staining signal was too strong, affecting the distribution and identification of the individual cell population, confirming that the concentration effect was not suitable for the detection of the individual cells.
In conclusion, the osmic acid working concentration in the staining solution of the invention is 10-5%~10-4In the range of% (w/v), when the antibody is used in combination with a metal-labeled antibody specific to erythrocytes as the metal-labeled antibody, good staining and detection effects can be obtained. Wherein the concentration is 5 × 10-5In% (w/v), the distribution of individual cells was concentrated, and it was clearly seen that the osmic acid signal was approximately for the right cell population (shown as circles) representing 2 cell populationsThe left 2-fold indicates that the right cell population is cell dimers, which is more preferable because it distinguishes between single cells and dimers and multicellular aggregates.

2) dropwise adding 1.6ml of 2.5% (v/v) glutaraldehyde solution while continuously vortexing the cell suspension, and standing at normal temperature for 20 min;
3) the cells were washed 2 times with PBS by centrifugation (800G, 5min) and the supernatant was discarded;
