Description

High-flux cracking system based on resonance microbubble array
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to a system for rapidly cracking cells or viruses based on a resonance microbubble array.
Background
In recent years, cell lysis has attracted much attention as the separation and purification of cellular components have become important in disease diagnosis, gene therapy, cell engineering and drug screening. Cell lysis is a process by which the nuclear membrane is disrupted to release intracellular material (e.g., DNA, RNA, proteins or organelles). However, the development of an efficient and rapid cell lysis technique is crucial for the isolation and purification of intracellular components. Currently, common cell lysis techniques fall into two broad categories: mechanical and non-mechanical cracking processes. Although the mechanical cracking method can achieve high-flux cracking effect, the method is easy to generate strong thermal effect and is not suitable for extracting proteins in cells. In contrast, non-mechanical cell lysis techniques are more popular. Biological and chemical non-mechanical lysis technology can prevent mechanical damage to intracellular components, is particularly suitable for mechanically sensitive intracellular components, and has the defects of expensive reagents, complex operation and the like. Physical cell lysis techniques are widely used in experiments and in practical production as the most promising method among non-mechanical cell lysis techniques. Currently, the most commonly used non-mechanical cell lysis techniques are biological lysis techniques, chemical lysis techniques, temperature lysis techniques, osmotic fracturing lysis techniques, photolysis techniques, electrical lysis techniques and acoustic lysis techniques.
The biological cracking technology comprises the following steps: enzyme lysis techniques one commonly used enzyme lysis is a biological cell lysis method, the variety of enzymes is large, specific types of cells require specific lytic enzymes, e.g., lysozyme for bacterial cell lysis, chitinase for yeast cell lysis, and pectinase for plant cell lysis. The greatest advantage of enzymatic cleavage is specificity. However, the specificity of the enzyme limits its limitations, which is not suitable for wide application. And there is a problem that the cells cannot be completely lysed. ([1] Andrews, B.A.; Asenjo, J.A.enzymic lysis and displacement of microbial cells T references Biotechnol.1987,5, 273- & lt 2 & gt Salazar, O.; Asenjo, J.A.enzymic lysis of microbial cells Biotechnol.Lett.2007,29, 985- & lt 994.)
Chemical cracking technology: the cell membrane is disrupted by changing the pH of the chemical lysis solution. Surfactants may also be added to the cell lysis buffer to solubilize membrane proteins to disrupt the cell membrane and release its contents. Chemical cracking techniques can be divided into alkaline cracking and surfactant cracking. In alkaline cleavage techniques, OHIons are the main component of the lysis of cell membranes. Lysis buffer consisted of sodium hydroxide and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). OH groupThe fatty acid-glycerol ester bond in the cell membrane can be destroyed and then the cell membrane is made permeable, and SDS dissolves proteins and membranes. The pH range of the lysate is generally controlled to be 11.5-12.5. In the surfactant cleavage technique, surfactants can disrupt the double lipid layer consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules in the cell membrane, mainly by disrupting the lipid-lipid, lipid-protein and protein-protein interactions in the cell membrane. Although this method is applicable to all types of cells, the cell lysis process is very slow, requiring about 6 to 12 hours. ([3]Stanbury,P.F.;Whitaker,A.Principles of Fermentation T echnology;Pergamon Press:Oxford,UK,1984.[4]Feliciello,I.;Chinali,G.A modified alkaline lysis method for the preparation of highly purified plasmid DNA from Escherichia coli.Anal.Biochem.1993,212,394–401.)
Temperature cracking technology: is a technique that causes cell lysis by repeatedly freezing and thawing cells, resulting in the formation of ice crystals on the cell membrane, causing the cell membrane to disintegrate. At the same time, high temperatures can also damage membranes by denaturation of cell membrane proteins and lead to release of intracellular organelles. However, this lysis technique, while not limited to cell types and easy to implement, is time consuming, expensive and cannot be used to extract temperature sensitive intracellular components. ([5] Johnson, B.H.; Hecht, M.H.Cellsby reproduced cycles of fresh and thawing.Biotechnology 1994,12, 1357; Zhu, K. [6] Jin, H.; He, Z.; Zhu, Q.; Wang, B.Acontinuus method for the large-scale extraction of plasma DNA by modified manufacturing lysine.Nat.Protoc.2007, 1, 3088-
And (3) osmotic fracturing solution technology: when the extracellular fluid concentration is lower than the intracellular fluid concentration, the extracellular fluid enters the cells due to osmosis, which in turn causes the cells to swell and then rupture. The cell membrane structure of mammals is fragile, so the technology is suitable for cracking the cells of mammals and can be used for extracting sensitive components in the cells, but the technology is not suitable for all types of cells, and therefore, the application of the cracking technology is limited to a great extent. ([7] Fonseca, L.P.; Cabral, J.Penicillin acylase release from Escherichia coli cells by mechanical cell dispersion and permeabilization.J.Chem.T.Echnol.Biotechnol.2002, 77,159 167.[8] Chen, Y. -C.; Chen, L. -A.; Chen, S. -J.; Chang, M. -C.; Chen, T. -L.Amodified acyl synthase for epidermal release of an immunogenic cleavage from Escherichia coli. Biochem.Eng.J.2004,19, 211-
The photocleavage technology comprises the following steps: the cell is controlled by utilizing laser targeting, after laser irradiation, the focused laser pulse at the interface of the cell solution can generate cavitation bubbles, and then the high-intensity shock wave generated by the cavitation of the bubbles can cause cell lysis through the laser irradiation. The technology is a non-contact, single-cell operation, high-efficiency, applicable to various cells, in-vivo research, sterile environment and applicable to a lab-on-a-chip, but in the process of researching cell lysis, the requirement on the number of cells is strict, required equipment is expensive, the operation is complex, the time required for lysis is long, and the technology is not beneficial to wide application. ([9] Huang, S. -H.; Hung, L. -Y.; Lee, G. -B.B.continuous nuclear expression by optical synthesis-induced cell lysis on a batch-type microfluidic platform, Lab Chip 2016,16, 1447-
The electric cracking technology comprises the following steps: the high-voltage electric field acts on a phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane in microsecond and millisecond pulse mode to generate unstable potential, high-strength transmembrane potential is formed in the cell, and high-strength potential is generated to cause cell lysis. The technology is high in cell lysis efficiency and short in time consumption, but the requirement on experimental conditions is high, equipment is expensive, the heat production amount is high, and the technology is not beneficial to extracting temperature-sensitive intracellular components, so that the wide application of the technology is limited to a great extent. ([11] Ohshima, T.; Sato, M.; Saito, M.Selective release of interstitial protein using pulsed electronic field.J.Electrost.1995,35, 103- & 112.[12] America, S.K.; Singh, P.K.; Dokmeci, M.R.; Khadeshoseini, A; Xu, Q.; Sonkusal, S.R.All electronic approach for high-through cell bridging and lysine with electronic impedance monitoring & biosensing.Biosens.Bioelectronic 2014.54, 462, 467.)
The acoustic cracking technology comprises the following steps: the cell lysis technology is realized by means of the combination of sound wave energy and the cavitation effect of micro bubbles. Under the action of ultrasound, the microbubbles oscillate near the biological wall to generate microjets around the biological wall, and the shearing force generated by the microjets on the biological wall can rupture cell membranes. The method is a novel method for separating and purifying intracellular components by an ultrasonic cell lysis technology, the realization of the ultrasonic cell lysis technology mainly depends on the cavitation effect of the microbubbles, however, the sizes and resonance frequencies of the microbubbles are not uniform, and the randomness of the cavitation effect is strong; the application and development of the acoustic lysis technology have some obstacles due to different cell sizes and acceptable shearing force thresholds of cells, and the like, which are acted with the microbubbles. Due to the difference of ultrasonic radiation systems, radiation dose calculation methods have diversity, no relatively determined ultrasonic dose for cell lysis exists at present, and some parameters in the ultrasonic radiation effect cannot be accurately controlled. Meanwhile, the cell lysis of the acoustic lysis technology in the current stage also has the problems of high heat production and low cell lysis efficiency.

3. The micro-syringe pump can continuously inject liquid into the PDMS cavity.
And 4, the PDMS cavity channel comprises an array microstructure, when liquid is injected into the PDMS cavity channel, no liquid flows into the microstructure, so that a micro-microbubble is formed, wherein the top view after injection is shown in FIG. 5, and it can be seen that no liquid exists at the microstructure arrays on two sides of the cavity channel, so that the microbubble is formed.

Parameter selection and flow field characterization
As shown in fig. 4, due to the interface boundary effect, when liquid is injected into the PDMS cavity, micro-pores located on the sidewall of the PDMS cavity capture micro-bubbles, and the micro-bubbles resonate and generate a flow field when the array micro-bubbles are excited by a single ultrasonic vibration source at a specific frequency. In the experiment, the width and the height of the micro-hole on the side wall of the PDMS channel are 40.8 μm and 50 μm in sequence, the frequency of the bulk wave transducer is 107kHz, and the input effective voltage value is 144 Vpp. PS bead trace particles are added into the PDMS cavity, and the microbubble peripheral flow field is symmetrically and uniformly distributed under the ultrasonic stimulation.

EXAMPLE 3 lysis of cells
The resonance microbubble array platform is adopted to carry out cell lysis experiments, and the cell lysis efficiency and the integrity of DNA after cell lysis are quantitatively analyzed.
A solution containing cells that simultaneously label both the Calcein-AM and PI fluorescent probes was injected from the inlet using a micro-syringe pump. The cell-containing solution in the lumen was retained in the lumen for 3 minutes. And the lysate was recovered through the outlet and the cracking efficiency was analyzed. Wherein Calcien-AM is a viable cell indicator that freely penetrates the intact cell membrane, is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterase to calcein, and emits green fluorescence. When the cell membrane is damaged, PI can smoothly enter the cell to be combined with DNA or RNA to emit red fluorescence, and the cell lysis efficiency can be calculated by combining a cell sensitive field diagram. As can be seen by calculation, a lysis rate of 99% can be achieved when the cells are retained in the lumen for 3 minutes.
