Description

Method for measuring linear separation and quantification of FRET system correction factor based on same system cell sample and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) detection, and particularly relates to a method for measuring a correction factor of an excitation emission spectrum linear separation quantitative FRET system based on a cell sample of the same system and application thereof.
Background
FRET microscopy based on Fluorescent Proteins (FPs) has become an important tool for studying biochemical molecular dynamic processes in living cells. Obtaining a quantitative FRET signal independent of the detection system and the expression level of FPs is a necessary requirement for academic communication. Recently we developed a quantitative FRET measurement technique (ExEm-spFRET) based on simultaneous separation of excitation emission spectra, which can overcome both acceptor excitation crosstalk and donor emission crosstalk [ Mengyan Du, et al, "Wide-field microscopic FRET imaging using a single and multiple emission spectra", Opt. Express24(14), 16037-.
Accurate measurement of acceptor-donor quantum yield ratio (Q)A/QD) Ratio of the extinction coefficient of the acceptor-donor (K)A/KD) Two parameters are key to quantitative ExEm-spFRET imaging. Most FRET-related studies were conducted by obtaining Q from the quantum yield values of fluorophores reported in the cited literatureA/QDThe value is obtained. But in practice Q of FRET measurement systemsA/QDThe value is not only related to the optical properties of the donor and acceptor fluorescent groups, but also related to the intracellular environment of the fluorescent groups and the spectral response performance of the emission channel of the measurement system; kA/KDRelated to the spectral properties of the excitation light source, the transfer function of the excitation channel of the measurement system, and the absorption spectra of the donor and acceptor. Especially for live cell quantitative ExEm-spFRET imaging, Q can be accurately measuredA/QDAnd KA/KDThe value of (a) is a prerequisite for quantitative ExEm-spFRET imaging of viable cells. For a given FRET fluorophore pair and measurement System, QA/QDAnd KA/KDIs a constant and therefore, once measured, does not need to be performed every time a quantitative FRET imaging analysis of live cells is performedAnd (6) measuring.
In the prior art, Zhang [ Zhang C, Lin F, Du M, et al, "Simultaneous measurement of quaternary yield and absorption ratio between the receptor and the donor by linear approximation excitation spectrum", Journal of Microcopy 270(3), 335-; Chen-sheng-shuang-Lin-Rui, "a method for simultaneously measuring the ratio of acceptor-donor quantum yield and extinction coefficient based on excitation emission spectrum separation," national invention patent 2019.7, issued patent number: ZL201710649949.8]The method for simultaneously measuring the quantum yield ratio and extinction coefficient ratio of donor and acceptor by using 4 dishes to transfect cell samples with different FRET expression efficiencies and the same donor/acceptor concentration ratio is provided. The method follows the excitation emission spectrum basis vector (S) of the donorD) Basal vector (S) of excited emission spectrum of acceptorA) And a basis vector (S) of excitation emission spectrum for receptor sensitizationS) The three spectrum basis vectors are subjected to linear separation to obtain three weight factors Wd、WaAnd Ws. Then Wa/WdAs an independent variable, with Ws/WdAs dependent variable, linear fitting is carried out to obtain the inverse slope of the linear equation which is KA/KDThe absolute value of the intercept is QA/QD. However, the method needs to switch a plurality of cell samples, is complex to operate, and cannot ensure the same contrast and background signal when four cell samples are imaged respectively, so that the method for measuring the correction factor of the ExEm-spFRET system in one cell sample is of great significance.

② for a sample containing the multi-plasmid (C5V, C17V, C32V and CTV) in the cells of a culture dish, the preparation method comprises the following steps: after the cells independently transfecting plasmids are subjected to step (3) for 4-6 hours respectively, absorbing transfection liquid, cleaning the cells in the culture dish for 2-3 times by using serum-free DMEM culture medium or PBS, adding 100 mu L of pancreatin cell digestive fluid into the culture dish to digest the cells transfected with different plasmids in different culture dishes, absorbing the digestive fluid, slightly blowing the cells for 2-3 times by using 100 mu L of serum-free DMEM culture medium, putting cell turbid liquid blown from different culture dishes into the same EP tube, uniformly mixing for 2-3 times, and putting the cell turbid liquid into a new culture dish again, wherein the ratio of the DMEM culture medium to fetal bovine serum is 10: 1 (volume ratio), adding fetal bovine serum, culturing for 8-12 hours, and allowing the cells to adhere to the wall for experiment.

in step 4, 92 fields are randomly selected from the multi-plasmid cotransferred sample (same culture dish), then cells are selected in each field, 589 cells are selected in the experiment for measurement (because the cell proportion of various transfection plasmids in the multi-plasmid cotransferred sample is unknown, the number of the cells selected is better, the emission spectra of the sample under the excitation of 436/20nm and 470/20nm wave bands are obtained, and the spectrum S of the donor and the acceptor obtained in the step 3 and the step 4 is used for obtaining the emission spectra of the sample under the excitation of the two wave bands of 436/20nm and 470/20nmD、SAAnd SS(i.e. using single transfer donor plasmid Cerulean (C) and single transfer acceptor plasmid Venus (V) as reference sample), and the spectrum basis vector obtained by calculation of formula (1), according to formula (3), making linear separation of spectrum, respectively calculating to obtain weighting factor Wd、WaAnd Ws
Here, the measurement can be carried out under the same dish, i.e., after the Hela cells transfected with CTV, C5V, C17V and C32V alone are mixed into the same dish; the measurement of the individually transfected CTV, C5V, C17V and C32V Hela cells (different culture dishes) may be performed on individually selected cells (the number of selected cells may be selected as the case may be, preferably, 10 or more fields (preferably 20 or more) are selected for each culture dish transfected with different plasmids, and 1 or more cells (preferably 3 to 7 cells) are selected for each field), and the single transfer donor plasmid Cerulean (C) and the single transfer recipient plasmid Venus (V) are used as reference samples, based on the measured SD、SAAnd SSAnd spectrum basis vectors obtained by calculation of the formula (1) are subjected to linear separation of spectra according to the formula (3), and weight factors W are obtained by calculation respectivelyd、WaAnd Ws(where measured separately there is a different background signal subtraction but the effect on the results is not significant). The experiment chose to measure on the same dish, i.e. directly on the selected cells in the multi-plasmid cotransferred sample in step 4.

5.2.1 Single-peak Gaussian fitting:
for a total of 589 cells in 92 fields, W was performed pixel by pixel for each cells/WaAnd Ws/WdCounting frequency distribution, and carrying out single-peak Gaussian fitting to obtain W at a Gaussian peaks/WaAnd Ws/WdThe values are specifically:
as shown in FIG. 1a, after the ExEm-spFRET spectral imaging is performed on the cell sample co-transformed with the four plasmids, the ExEm-spFRET data of the sample is subjected to spectral separation to obtain the weight ratio Ws/WaAnd Ws/WdA graph of the proportional values (fig. 1 b); the cell area circled by the red box in FIG. 1b is then selected and subjected to a pixel-by-pixel Ws/WaAnd Ws/WdThe frequency distribution of the values is counted (namely in the cell region, from the 1 st image point, the ExEm-spFRET data is obtained, and the weight factor W of each pixel is obtained according to the emission spectrum and the basis vector of the sample under the excitation of 436/20nm and 470/20nms、WaAnd WdThen calculate Ws/WaAnd Ws/WdA value; and so on until the last pixel point of the cell region (the size of the map used in the present invention is 2048 × 2048 pixels (pixels)); wherein the weight factor Ws、WaAnd WdThe method of obtaining (1) is the same as that of (5.1), using single transfer donor plasmid Cerulean (C) and single transfer acceptor plasmid Venus (V) as reference samples, and performing single-peak Gaussian fitting (FIGS. 1c and 1d) to obtain W of the cells/WaAnd Ws/WdValue, i.e. SA-11.6443 and SD-10.94024 (statistical blue points in fig. 1c and 1d were gaussian fitted using matlab software to obtain a gaussian function (red line) with the peak of the gaussian function).
The same procedure as described above was used to obtain a weighting factor W for 589 cellsd、WaAnd WsAnd calculating the SA and SD values of each cell (SA ═ W)s/WaAnd SD ═ Ws/Wd) Are respectively denoted as SA-1、SA-2……SA-589,SD-1、SD-2……SD-589
5.2.2 four-peak Gaussian fitting:
SA of each cell-1、SA-2……SA-589,SD-1、SD-2……SD-589Respectively arranging according to the numerical value from small to large, and then carrying out W of different cells at intervals of 0.01-0.1 (in the experiment, the interval is 0.03 for SA, and the interval is 0.05 for SD)s/WaAnd Ws/WdAnd counting the frequency distribution, and performing four-peak Gaussian fitting. As shown in FIGS. 1e and 1f, we judged the relative strengths of the efficiencies of the different FRET plasmids (C5V, C17V, C32V, CTV) (the higher the FRET efficiency, the higher the ratio RSAAnd RSDThe larger), the red gaussian peak fitted to the figure was the cell transfected with CTV plasmid, the blue gaussian peak fitted to the cell transfected with C32V plasmid, the green gaussian peak fitted to the cell transfected with C17V plasmid, and the purple gaussian peak fitted to the cell transfected with C5V plasmid.
Here, it should be noted that: in the same culture dish, for the FRET standard plasmid with known FRET efficiency or known relative strength of FRET efficiency, the higher the FRET efficiency, the ratio value RSAAnd RSDThe larger (according to equation (6): standard plasmid with donor ratio 1: 1, ED ═ EA, EA proportional to WS/WASimilarly, ED is proportional to WS/WDTherefore, the higher the FRET efficiency, the larger the ratio), i.e., the FRET plasmids with 4 different efficiencies as mentioned above, the FRET efficiency is: FRETC5V>FRETC17V>FRETC32V>FRETCTVThe proportion value is as follows: rSA-C5V>RSA-C17V>RSA-C32V>RSA-CTV,RSD-C5V>RSD-C17V>RSD-C32V>RSD-CTVThus, it can be determined in FIG. 1 which FRET plasmid corresponds to the Gaussian peak. ② in the same culture dish, the FRET efficiency is notThe known FRET standard plasmid only needs to obtain the peak value according to Gaussian fitting, and as shown in FIG. 1, four FRET plasmids can be distinguished.
The method carries out Gaussian fitting twice, can enable the data to be more accurate, carries out pixel-by-pixel statistics on the cells for the first time, obtains peak values SA and SD by unimodal Gaussian fitting, and reduces the dimension of the data of one cell; carrying out statistics on SA and SD values of different cells for the second time, and then carrying out four-peak Gaussian fitting, so that the determined range is less influenced by unstable factors and is more accurate; on the other hand, if all cells are counted pixel by pixel directly and then all data are fitted together by the four-peak gaussian fitting, the characteristic peak may be buried and the fitting may not be accurate.
