Description

FPR1 channel function-based carcinogenicity in-vitro detection method for chemicals
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and relates to an in vitro detection method for carcinogenicity of a chemical based on FPR1 channel function.
Background
Tumors are the largest disease burden in most countries worldwide. 80% to 90% of human tumors are associated with environmental factors, the main of which are chemical factors. Heavy metals, biotoxins and the like are main environmental chemical carcinogenic factors, enter human bodies through atmosphere, water, soil, food and the like, and cause serious harm to health after accumulation and metabolism.
The carcinogenic process of chemicals is very lengthy and the growth phase of tumors is usually decades. The carcinogenic chemical has no obvious clinical manifestation on the body in the early period of exposure, and once clinical symptoms or imaging manifestations appear, the cells are predicted to be irreversibly malignant when entering the growth and development stage of the tumor, so that the treatment means is very limited, and irretrievable results are caused. Therefore, the detection of the chemical carcinogen has important significance for the prevention and control of the tumor.
The main bases for judging whether chemicals have carcinogenicity for a long time are mammal long-term carcinogenic tests (two years) and population epidemiological investigation, but the two methods are time-consuming and labor-consuming, have low detection efficiency and more interference factors, and are difficult to reflect carcinogenic mechanisms. Therefore, an in-vitro test system with good specificity and sensitivity and simple and convenient operation is established, the carcinogenic toxicity of the chemicals can be screened in a large batch, the detection efficiency is improved, and the carcinogenicity of the chemicals can be evaluated more scientifically.
Chemical carcinogens can be classified into genotoxic carcinogens and non-genotoxic carcinogens depending on whether DNA is directly targeted for action. The carcinogenic principle of the former is that chemicals directly act on DNA to form DNA adduct, induce chromosome damage, activate oncogene, inactivate cancer suppressor gene, mutate cell escape immune monitoring, balance of proliferation and apoptosis is broken, and tumor is generated. The non-genetic toxic carcinogen does not directly act on DNA, and induces tumor generation by inducing excessive oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction, methylation, acetylation, miRNA regulation and control abnormality and the like. The genetic end points of the traditional in vitro detection method for the genotoxic carcinogen are as follows: gene mutation, chromosome (genome) damage and DNA damage, but the existing in vitro detection method for non-genetic toxic carcinogenic substances has no mature detection system, and an improved genetic toxicity test method such as a Bhas 42 cell in vitro transformation test is mostly adopted. But the defects of the methods are obvious, and the method is only suitable for substances with definite carcinogenic mechanisms and has high false negative rate for unknown toxic chemicals; secondly, the detection flux is low, and the screening requirement of a large amount of new chemicals cannot be met. In the pathophysiological processes of tumors, carcinogenic chemicals directly or indirectly induce gene or protein expression or conformational changes in target cells or target tissues, which genes or proteins are time-ordered and tissue-specific. Therefore, the change of in vivo biological molecules can be used as a biological marker of carcinogen exposure, has better consistency and predictability than the existing in vitro detection method of carcinogens, and can provide a basis for carcinogenic evaluation of chemicals.
FPR1(Formyl Peptide Receptor 1) is mainly expressed in phagocytic leukocytes of mammals and is involved in pathophysiological processes including inflammation, virus defense and tumors. The existing research finds that FPR1 plays an important role in glioma, gastric cancer, lung cancer and other tumors. Compared with normal tissues, FPR1 shows abnormal high expression in tumor tissues, and tumor cells which are activated by the high expression FPR1 and FPR1 channels show obvious malignant phenotypes, including abnormal cell proliferation, abnormal reduction of apoptosis and high invasion. Animal experiments show that the FPR1 channel-activated mice show high tumorigenicity, and the malignant phenotype of tumors is obviously reduced after FPR1 is inhibited. The epidemiological investigation of the population shows that compared with the low expression patient, the prognosis of the tumor patient with the FPR1 high expression is worse, and the survival time is obviously shortened. Thus, FPR1 channel status is closely linked to tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, FPR1 can be involved in tumor development by modulating the chemotaxis of inflammatory cells. Research also finds that after the FPR1 channel is activated, the expression of angiogenesis factor VEGF can be promoted, the secretion of IL-8 and the like can be promoted, VEGF and IL-8 are both classical oncogenes, VEGF is a key molecule in a tumor angiogenesis signal pathway and is a mature target of an anti-tumor medicament. IL-8 is an inflammatory chemokine, and can remarkably stimulate cell proliferation and improve cell migration, invasiveness and metastasis.
FPR1 is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. GPCRs are the largest family of signal receptors in humans, and when exogenous chemicals act on GPCRs, the GPCRs change conformation, G-proteins are activated, triggering cellsA cellular cascade reaction. Therefore, the functional status of GPCRs is reflected by the detection of different biological products produced after activation of different G proteins, and existing methods for detecting GPCRs are: receptor binding assays, GTP γ s binding assays, cAMP assays, Radioactive IP3/IP1Detection, reporter gene systems, calcium flux detection, and the like. G.alpha.is the most studied class of G proteins, divided into four subclasses, G.alpha.s, G.alpha.i/o, G.alpha.q/11 and G.alpha. 12/13, where the G.alpha.q-coupled receptor can directly characterize GPCR function through changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration. FPR1 is a GPCR coupled with G alpha i, and the direct detection method is complex and tedious and has high requirements on experimental environment.

The optimized result of the detection time is shown in fig. 1, when the continuous detection time is 100s, the fluorescence intensity can be seen from the time-effect curve to be not restored to a constant level, which indicates that the reaction process of calcium inflow is not completely finished; when the detection time is continued to be 500s, the fluorescence intensity just returns to a constant level; the detection time was continued for 900s and the fluorescence intensity was completely returned to a constant level. In summary, to fully record the reaction process of calcium influx, the detection duration was set to 900 s.
Example 2
An FPR1 channel-based in vitro assay for carcinogenicity of chemicals, which evaluates the carcinogenicity of ochracin A (OTA);
(1) cell plate
Taking FPR1-CHO cells in logarithmic growth phase at 2 × 104The density of cells/well was seeded in 96-well black transparent flat-bottomed cell plates. The next day, the degree of cell fusion was observed under a microscope and dye incubation was allowed to occur up to 70% or more.
(2) Dye incubation
Calcium ion dye Fluo-4 AM was added in a volume of 60. mu.L per well and incubated at 37 ℃ for 45min to 60 min. After the incubation was completed, the cells were washed 3-4 times with HBSS buffer to remove the dye that did not enter the cells. After washing, HBSS buffer was supplemented to a final volume of 175. mu.L.

After the start of the test, the fluorescence intensity of the baseline was measured without applying the sample for the first 60s, and the mean value of the fluorescence signals at the first 10 time points was used as the basic fluorescence intensity value (F)0). After sample application, continuously detecting fluorescence intensity value (F) with detection time of 900s, time as abscissa and fluorescence intensity F as ordinate by high-throughput real-time fluorescenceThe detection and analysis system generates a time-effect curve for each reaction well.

As shown in FIG. 2, the final concentrations of 5. mu.M, 10. mu.M and 20. mu.M of OTA acted on FPR1-CHO cells, and the intracellular calcium concentration was significantly increased (p < 0.001), while the negative control group showed no significant change in calcium concentration, indicating that OTA could activate FPR 1.
The international agency for research on cancer IARC classifies OTA as a class 2B carcinogen, a possible human carcinogen, and animal experiments and epidemiological investigations have shown that OTA is associated with digestive and urinary tumors. In the method result, compared with a negative control, the intracellular calcium ion concentration of the OTA is remarkably increased under the dosage of 5-20 muM, which represents that the FPR1 channel is activated, and the detection of the carcinogen OTA through the FPR1 channel state is reflected, so that the method can be used for predicting the carcinogenicity of the biotoxin.

Patulin is a class 3 carcinogen, classified by the carcinogenic factors of IARC. In the method result of the invention, the concentration of calcium ions in cells is obviously increased under the dosage of 5-20 mu M, the FPR1 channel is opened, which reflects that the patulin can induce the FPR1 channel to open and cause calcium inflow. Thus, the method of the present invention can be used to detect the carcinogen patulin.

Carcinogenicity is an important toxic end point for the safety evaluation of chemicals. The existing chemical carcinogenicity detection method is mainly an in-vivo mammal long-term carcinogenesis test and has the defects of low flux, long period, low sensitivity and high cost. The in vitro method is mainly a genetic toxicity test method, is only suitable for detecting genetic toxicity carcinogens, and has the characteristics of low flux, high false negative rate and the like. By means of a toxicological genomics technology, the carcinogenic effect and the action mechanism of exogenous stimulation on an organism are systematically and comprehensively revealed by observing the dynamic change rule of genes in tissues or cells under the action of the exogenous stimulation. The traditional carcinogenicity in-vitro detection technology uses a toxic phenotype as a detection object, a biomarker method surrounds a carcinogenic target, and the carcinogenicity of a chemical is judged by detecting the function of the carcinogenic target. The method of the invention takes FPR1 as a biomarker in the carcinogenic process, develops the carcinogenic screening technology based on the FPR1 target function, monitors the change of calcium current in cells by applying real-time high-flux fluorescence imaging analysis to reflect the change of the target function, has low cost, wide detection range and high sensitivity compared with the existing genetic toxicity in-vitro detection method and the long-term carcinogenic test of mammals, is beneficial to the subsequent mechanism research, can be used for screening carcinogenicity of a large quantity of chemicals, and provides a basis for exposure evaluation of the carcinogenic chemicals, monitoring of tumorigenesis development and prevention and control. The invention discloses an in vitro carcinogenic detection method of a chemical based on an FPR1 channel, which is not reported in the literature.
