Description

Colorimetric sensor for detecting mycotoxin in food, detection system and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of food toxin detection, in particular to a colorimetric sensor for detecting mycotoxin in food, a detection system and application.
Background
Ochratoxin a (ota) is a toxic secondary metabolite derived primarily from aspergillus and penicillium. In our daily lives, it is widely found in various foods and beverages, such as wheat, wine and fruit juices. It is considered to have nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, teratogenicity, carcinogenicity and immunotoxicity in humans. Therefore, international agency for research on cancer (IARC) has categorized ochratoxin a as a class 2B human carcinogen in 1993. In addition, OTA has strong chemical stability, and once entering the human body and accumulating, the OTA can seriously affect the human health.
Currently, chromatographic methods, such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Liquid Chromatography (LC), fluorescence detection assisted by Mass Spectrometry (MS), Gas Chromatography (GC) combined with mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and other large-scale instrumental detection technologies, are commonly used by first-line food detection institutions such as customs, because they generally have the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity and high reliability. However, they are time consuming for the analytical detection process of ochratoxin a in foods and require expensive research equipment and laboratories, trained instrument operators and large amounts of non-reusable toxic reagents harmful to the environment and human body. The traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is well known for its high specificity detection performance, and is widely used for detecting ochratoxin A in food at present, the method relies on an accurate antibody with high affinity and specificity recognition for ochratoxin A, the preparation cost of the antibody is high, the storage condition requirement is strict, and the wide application of the method is limited. Recently, in order to improve the sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting ochratoxin A, researchers have combined the method with different reading techniques such as fluorescence, colorimetry and chemiluminescence, but still have problems such as high cost, long reaction time and cumbersome operation.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an Exo III-assisted amplification fluorometric assay for OTA detection, showing a schematic diagram of OTA detection. In the absence of OTA, OTA aptamers hybridized to cDNA and Exo iii was unable to cleave FAM-labeled single-stranded SP at the 5' end. After the final addition of AuNPs, the nanoparticles can strongly adsorb FAM-labeled single-chain SPs on the surface by van der waals forces between the FAM-labeled SP chains and the bases of the AuNPs. Whereas AuNP is a fluorescence quencher, adsorption of FAM-labeled SP to the surface of AuNP results in FRET and quenching by AuNP. In the presence of OTA, the aptamer recognizes and binds to the target, resulting in the formation of double stranded DNA between the cDNA and SP. Exo III then digests the double stranded DNA from the 3' blunt end of the SP, releasing the fluorophore and releasing the cDNA. The released cDNA is then hybridized with another SP to initiate a new cleavage reaction. Through this cyclic hybridisation-hydrolysis process, OTA molecules can trigger the cleavage of large numbers of SPs. Upon addition of AuNP, the fluorophore cannot be adsorbed and quenched, greatly enhancing fluorescence. The method has complex steps in an experimental scheme, needs DNA amplification, uses ExoIII enzyme, has high requirements on amplification experimental instruments and experimental operators, and increases the detection cost; the time is consumed, the sample to be detected needs to be brought back to a laboratory, and the aim of on-site rapid detection is difficult to meet.
In recent years, the colorimetric sensor detection strategy based on the nano material is expected to correct the defects as a quick, simple, accurate, portable and cheap tool, and is applied to the field detection of ochratoxin A in food. Aptamers are nucleotide sequences obtained by screening using the exponential enrichment (SELEX) technique, which have high affinity and selectivity for a specific target, and which can be chemically synthesized and modified at relatively low cost, and more importantly, which are easy to store for a long time and are chemically stable, compared to recognition molecules currently used for recognizing targets. Since the report of ochratoxin A aptamer, researchers developed various aptamer-based methods for detecting ochratoxin A in foods, such as electrochemical detection methods, test strip detection methods, and the like. For example, the OTA Aptamer and AuNPs are simply adsorbed by the former (Yin X., Wang S., Liu X., et al., Aptamer-based colorimetric biosensing of ochromicin A in a characterized white grain with sample using unmodified gold nanoparticles, 2017,33:659-664.), and the detection of the OTA is realized as low as 49nM by the regulation and control of sodium chloride; others (Tian F, Zhou J, Jiano B, et al, A Nanozyme-based assay for amplified detection of ochratoxin A. nanoscale,2019,11(19): 9547-; joule et al (He Y., Tian F., Zhou J., et al., colorimetric aptamer for ochratoxin A detection based on enzyme-induced gold nanoparticles aggregation. journal of hazardous materials,2020,388:121758.) combine the cascade reaction of aptamer and nanoenzyme, develop a sensor for detecting OTA with higher sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.069 nM; others (Tian F., Zhou J., Fu R., et al, Multicolor colorimetric detection of ochratoxin A vitamin structure-switching aptamer and enzyme-induced catalysis of gold nanoparticles, 2020,320:126607.) bound the aptamer to the gold nanorods, and developed a flexible method for Multicolor colorimetric detection of OTA with a detection limit of 9 nM. These colorimetric detection methods have many advantages such as visual identification and high sensitivity, but have the disadvantage of long detection reaction time, which is not favorable for rapid detection of ochratoxin A in food on site.
A colorimetric assay for OTA is detailed in figure 2. In the presence of OTA, aptamers on magnetic beads (DNA-ALP-MBs) immobilized with DNA alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were triggered, the structure was converted to G-quadruplexes, and ALP-labeled complementary DNA (cDNA-ALP) was released. After magnetic separation, ALP catalyzes the dephosphorylation reaction of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) to Ascorbic Acid (AA), which reduces Ag+Thereby forming an Ag nano-shell on the surface of the AuNRs, and forming the Au/Ag core-shell nanorod (AuNRs @ Ag). The blue-shift of the longitudinal LSPR peak of the AuNRs produces a perceptible color change. However, in the absence of OTA, ALP-mediated AuNRs deposition was hindered because cDNA-ALP was not released from DNA-ALP-MBs. In this case, the color of the solution and the longitudinal LSPR peak change were negligible. The OTA concentration directly affects the ALP concentration, which directly depends on the silver nanostructure deposition on the AuNRs. Thus, the proposed visual analysis method can semi-quantitatively determine OTA concentration since it is based on color and longitudinal LSPR peak variation. But has the following disadvantages: 1. incubating the mixed solution of DNA-ALP-MB and OTA of various concentrations at 25 deg.C for 30 min; after magnetic separation, mixing with AAP and incubating at 37 deg.C for 30 min; then, AuNRs solution and AgNO were added3The mixture of (1) and DEA buffer, incubated at 25 ℃ for 10 min; the reaction time is long, and the aim of rapid visual detection on site is difficult to meet. 2. Various nanometer materials such as DNA alkaline phosphatase, magnetic beads and gold nanorods are used, the preparation process is complex, and the detection cost is increased.
Maeda et al (Sato K., Hosokawa K., Maeda M. Rapid aggregation of gold nanoparticles induced by non-cross-linking DNA hybridization. journal of the American Chemical Society,2003,125:8102-8103.) invented a new method for inducing the aggregation of AuNPs (FIG. 3) which modifies a DNA HS-DNA having a thiol group at the 5' end on the surface of AuNPs, and when a certain concentration of com-DNA and sodium chloride solution are present in the solution, the color change of the colloidal gold solution occurs because when the DNA on the surface of AuNPs and the com-DNA are completely complementary to each other, the repulsive electrostatic force between them is greatly reduced, and at the same time, a cavity is formed by the double-stranded end, a hydrophobic force can be generated to cause the aggregation of the AuNPs, which is expressed as a change of the color of the solution from red to purple. The aggregation form is called non-crosslinking aggregation, and has the advantages that AuNPs are easy to synthesize, the cost is low relative to other materials, the AuNPs are easy to modify different probe molecules on the surface, the prepared deoxyribonucleic acid functionalized AuNPs are stable in chemical property, the aggregation process is rapid, and color change can be seen by naked eyes. The specificity of the DNA-AuNPs to com-DNA and the rapid visual reaction process are fully utilized by scientific researchers, and the DNA-AuNPs are applied to the aspects of rapid visual detection of heavy metal ions, single nucleotide polymorphism and the like, are further expanded into a liquor system with complex components, and obtain favorable results. However, the distance of the AuNPs after agglomeration is close enough, and the ends can form a fully complementary double-stranded DNA structure to generate color change, so that the length of the surface modified DNA is required, the application of the surface modified DNA is limited, and the surface modified DNA is difficult to combine with an aptamer with a longer sequence and simultaneously exerts the capabilities of quick visualization of non-crosslinked agglomeration and high-specificity recognition of the aptamer.

According to the detection system obtained by optimization, the binding acting force of the HS-DNA and the aptamer sequence is smaller than the binding acting force of the mycotoxin to be detected and the aptamer, so that the non-crosslinking aggregation of the HS-DNA modified nano material is promoted.
The third technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
the colorimetric sensor is applied to detection of food mycotoxin, wherein the mycotoxin is ochratoxin A, aflatoxin, fumonisin or vomitoxin.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention takes the non-crosslinking agglomeration of HS-DNA-AuNPs as a detection tool, and fully exerts the advantage that the color of the kit is changed from red to purple quickly; using an aptamer of OTA as com-DNA, and designing a complementary nucleotide sequence corresponding to the com-DNA as HS-DNA; the OTA aptamer used in the invention is a known 36nt sequence with high specificity, the sequence completely complementary with the OTA aptamer is modified on the surface of AuNPs through sulfydryl, the length of double-stranded DNA formed by hybridization is too long, and the color change after agglomeration is influenced, so that the invention designs a limited number of middle mismatching bases on HS-DNA, makes the two ends of the double-stranded DNA combined with the aptamer complementary, and then optimizes the reaction conditions to make the combination acting force of the OTA to be detected and the aptamer larger than the hydrogen bond acting force of complementary pairing of DNA bases, thereby realizing the rapid colorimetric detection of the OTA within 5 min.
By designing the HS-DNA with 27nt and complementary with two ends of an aptamer sequence, wherein two ends of the HS-DNA are respectively provided with a complementary region with 12nt, and the base at the middle position is mismatched, the design ensures that the tail end of the HS-DNA can form double-stranded DNA with completely complementary base, so that hydrophobic acting force is generated, and non-crosslinking agglomeration is caused; secondly, the length of the formed double-stranded DNA is moderate, the distance of the formed double-stranded DNA is close enough after the AuNPs are agglomerated, color change is caused by surface plasma coupling, thirdly, mismatched bases are few, the acting force of hydrogen bonds is weak, and the recognition of OTA by an aptamer is facilitated. The HS-DNA avoids the influence of sequence length on aptamer combination, ensures that the distance of gold nanoparticles is close enough after agglomeration, has obvious color change, and remarkably exerts the capabilities of quick visualization of non-crosslinked agglomeration and high-specificity identification of aptamers.
The HS-DNA designed by the invention can ensure that the OTA aptamer specifically recognizes OTA, the combined acting force is greater than the pairing of the aptamer sequence and the HS-DNA, and the HS-DNA-AuNPs and the OTA aptamer have strong anti-interference capability in non-crosslinking agglomeration reaction, so that the aim of rapidly and visually detecting OTA in liquid food within 5min on site can be fulfilled, and the sensitivity of detection reaction is greatly improved. In addition, the HS-DNA-AuNPs have low preparation cost, simple process and stable chemical property, can be normally used after being stored for more than half a year at 4 ℃, and reduces the cost and the technical requirement in the practical application process.

Centrifugation (12000rpm, 25 ℃, 12-15min) removes supernatant and removes excess BSPP and sodium citrate. 1mL of water (deionized water can be added according to the initial volume of the nano gold) is added to re-dissolve the AuNPs of the lower layer material.
HS-DNA and AuNPs are introduced according to the ratio of 1000:1 (the amount ratio of substances, according to the situation), and incubated for more than 6h at room temperature. 5M NaCl was added stepwise to the mixture to give a final solution concentration of 50 mM. Aging the mixture by standing the mixture at room temperature for more than 1 h. The above step 5 was repeated, and the mixture was continuously treated with 5M NaCl, and gradually added dropwise to increase the salt concentration of the reaction solution to 100mM, 150mM, 200mM, 250mM, 300mM in this order at intervals of 1 hour or more per step, and finally to 300 mM. (Note: high concentration of NaCl minimizes the repulsive force of the high density immobilized DNA). The 300mM mixture was incubated overnight. The mixture was then centrifuged 2 times to remove unligated DNA and NaCl from the solution and redispersed in water. The method comprises the following specific steps: centrifuging for the first time (12000rpm, 25 ℃, 30min), discarding the supernatant, and adding 1mL of water for redissolving; centrifuging for the second time (12000rpm, 25 deg.C, 30min), discarding supernatant, and adding water for redissolving (the amount of water can be determined according to the required concentration).
Fifth, the OTA detection system of the invention is as follows
Adding 2.5 muL PB solution, 2.5 muL magnesium chloride solution and 1.75 muL apt solution into a 200 muL EP tube in sequence, adding water to supplement to a final volume of 31.175 muL, uniformly mixing by vortex, adding 2.5 muL OTA solutions with different concentrations after reacting for 5min, uniformly mixing by vortex, adding 13.3 muL HS-DNA-AuNPs solution and 6.5 muL sodium chloride solution after reacting for 5min, uniformly mixing by vortex, immediately adding a liquid transfer gun into a cuvette, measuring spectral data by an ultraviolet spectrophotometer after reacting for 5min, and processing the spectral data by origin. The final concentration of HS-AuNPs in the reaction system is 5nM, the final concentration of PB is 10mM, the final concentration of magnesium chloride is 1mM, the final concentration of apt is 0.35. mu.M, the final concentration of sodium chloride is 650mM, and the final concentration of OTA is to be detected.
The OTA detection system of the invention combines the aptamer with the OTA or the complementary sequence thereof, modifies the HS-DNA with a specific sequence and short enough length on the AuNPs surface, optimizes the reaction condition, ensures that the combination acting force of the aptamer and the OTA is larger than the hydrogen bond acting force of the aptamer and the complementary chain, ensures that the distance between the agglomerated AuNPs is close enough, generates corresponding color change through surface plasma resonance, and realizes the purpose of detecting the OTA.
As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5a shows the non-crosslinked aggregates detected by the HS-DNA-AuNPs colorimetric sensor. Firstly, components except HS-DNA-AuNPs and sodium chloride are added into a detection system, then apt to be combined with OTA first without external interference is obtained, and then HS-DNA-AuNPs and sodium chloride are added, and apt not to be combined with OTA is combined with HS-DNA in a complementary pairing mode. The scheme is verified, as shown in figure 5b, because OTA does not exist, apt and HS-DNA are in a large number of complementary pairing, the non-crosslinking agglomeration degree of the HS-DNA-AuNPs is obvious, the absorption peak of the spectrum is red-shifted to 550nm, the absorption value is reduced to 0.6, and the color of the colloidal solution is changed into purple within 5min, as shown in the color of the tube 1 at the left side of the upper inset of figure 5 b. When detecting OTA with the concentration of 1.2 mu M, 12.4 mu M and 49.6 mu M, the experimental result of the scheme shows that when the concentration of the OTA is 1.2 mu M, the absorption peak of the corresponding ultraviolet spectrum only red shifts to about 530nm, the absorption value is far higher than that of a blank group, and the color of the solution is red close to that of nanospheres. At 12.4 μ M, 49.6 μ M OTA concentration, the corresponding absorption peak in the UV spectrum is also at 530nm, and the absorption value shows regular gradual increase relative to the blank group, and the solution color is red, as shown in the 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th tubes on the left side of the upper inset of FIG. 5 b. This shows that as the concentration of OTA increases, more apt is combined in the solution, and the apt which can be freely and complementarily paired with HS-DNA-AuNPs in the solution decreases with the increase of the concentration of OTA, which means that the quantity of double-stranded DNA complementary to the surface of HS-DNA-AuNPs decreases and the hydrophobic force of terminal base pairs decreases, and finally the degree of non-crosslinking aggregation of HS-DNA-AuNPs is reduced.
Sixthly, the colorimetric sensor of the invention detects the sensitivity of OTA
As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7a shows that at an OTA concentration of 12.4nM, the solution color is pale red, visually distinguishable from the purple of the blank, and as the concentration of OTA increases, the solution color gradually shifts from the purple at an OTA concentration of 0nM to red, thus allowing semi-quantitative detection of OTA without the need for equipment. Meanwhile, as the concentration of OTA increases, the ultraviolet absorption peak gradually blueshifts from 550nM to 525nM (FIG. 7b), and the OTA spectrum change of 6.2nM can be detected at the lowest. And the maximum absorption value is gradually increased overall, a fitted curve between the maximum absorption value and the OTA concentration is shown in FIG. 7c, and in the OTA concentration range of 6.2-620nM, the fitted linear equation is that y is 6.735 multiplied by 10 < -4 > x +0.765, R2 is 0.9914, x is the OTA concentration, and y is the maximum absorption value, and the two show good correlation. Although the colorimetric detection capability of the sensor for OTA is equivalent to that of other colorimetric methods, the HS-DNA-AuNPs colorimetric sensor has the greatest advantage of fast reaction time of 5min, and the sensor provides a feasible method for fast detection of OTA on site.
Seventhly, the colorimetric sensor of the invention detects the specificity of OTA
The selected toxins are AFB1, AFB2, OTB, DON, and the results are shown in FIG. 8. Different toxins were added to the assay system instead of OTA and the final concentration was determined to be 620 nM. From FIG. 8a, it can be seen that the extinction spectrum of HS-DNA-AuNPs is 525nm only when OTA is added, and the extinction spectrum is blue-shifted to 550nm and the maximum absorption value is reduced to 0.8 when other toxins are added and the HS-DNA-AuNPs are not cross-linked and aggregated. FIG. 8b is a histogram showing the difference between the maximum absorbance of the HS-DNA-AuNPs UV spectrum and the maximum absorbance of the blank control in the presence of different toxins, and it can be seen that the OTA value is significantly different from other toxins. The color change picture can also see that only the solution containing OTA is red, other solutions are purple, and the color difference is obvious. The reason is that the apt has high specificity to OTA, and the addition of other toxins does not influence the non-crosslinking aggregation of the apt and HS-DNA complementary pairing HS-DNA-AuNPs. Therefore, the HS-DNA-AuNPs colorimetric sensor has good detection specificity for OTA.
The HS-DNA sequence design and condition optimization method is also suitable for detecting other toxins in corresponding food, and the aim of detecting corresponding harmful substances can be fulfilled by the non-crosslinking agglomeration reaction tool of the HS-DNA-AuNPs and the aptamer.
