Detailed Description
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to specific examples. The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples, but is not limited to these examples.
Example 1
The method for detecting the optical fiber miRNA-126 of the graphene oxide coated gold nanoparticle comprises the following steps:
Step 1: gold nanoparticles were prepared by aqueous phase reduction, and Graphene Oxide (GO) was synthesized by Hummers method. And cleaning glassware required in the experiment by using aqua regia, washing with deionized water, and drying for later use. The reaction environment is cleaned to avoid introducing impurities during the growth of AuNPs. To a boiling chloroauric acid solution (0.01% (w/w), 50 mL) was added a solution of 0.75% mL trisodium citrate (1% (w/w), and when the color of the mixture was observed to change from pale yellow to black and finally to reddish wine, the reaction was continued for 30 min to obtain AuNPs having a particle size of about 37 nm.
Step 2: and preparing the graphene oxide coated gold nanocomposite by utilizing the electrostatic bonding effect. The synthesized AuNPs solution and GO solution are mixed according to the proportion of 2:1, and are stirred for 2h and then are reserved for standby. The oxygen-containing groups on the surface of the GO promote the embedding of the GO into the AuNPs, so that the GO-AuNPs composite particles are formed.
Step 3: as shown in fig. 1, the surface of the optical fiber is silanized. After removing the organic cladding layer on the surface of one end of the optical fiber with the fiber core diameter of 600 micrometers, which is denoted as an optical fiber sensing end (S end), the S end of the optical fiber cleaned by acetone, alcohol and deionized water is inserted into an HF acid solution (VHF: V water=1:1) for corrosion for 4 hours, so as to enhance the evanescent field of the optical fiber leakage. After cleaning the corroded optical fiber, immersing the optical fiber in piranha solution (V hydrogen peroxide: V sulfuric acid=3:7) for a plurality of hours, and then heating the cleaned optical fiber in a vacuum drying oven at 110 ℃ for about 1 hour to activate hydroxyl groups on the surface of the optical fiber. Thereafter, the S-terminus of the fiber was immersed in a 9% APTES solution for 8 hours to convert the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the fiber into amino groups. The S end of the optical fiber is soaked in the GO-AuNPs composite particle solution for 6 hours, and the carboxyl of GO can be combined with the amino on the optical fiber, so that a GO-AuNPs composite particle monolayer film can be formed on the surface of the optical fiber. A silver film was coated on the end face of the S-end of the optical fiber by a silver mirror reaction to ensure that light was reflected into the spectrometer.
Step 4: the RNAp1 solution was diluted to the appropriate concentration with PBS buffer (10 mM,1M NaCl,pH =6.8). Wherein, naCl is introduced to improve the ionic strength, shorten the Debye length and enhance the adsorption capacity of the nucleotide on the surface of GO-AuNPs particles. And soaking the S end of the GO-AuNPs functionalized optical fiber in the diluent for 12 h, so that the GO-AuNPs composite particles on the surface of the optical fiber and the RNAp1 are fixed together through covalent bonds. Thereafter, unbound RNA molecules on the surface of the fiber were washed away with absolute ethanol and nuclease-free water. The non-specific sites of the GO-AuNPs composite particles which are not combined with the surface of the optical fiber are passivated by utilizing BSA (bovine serum albumin), the S end of the optical fiber is soaked in 2mg/mL BSA (10 mM, pH=6.8) solution for 1 h so as to block the non-specific electrostatic adsorption of the GO-AuNPs-RNAp2 composite and the optical fiber in the detection process, but the hybridization reaction activity between the RNA probe molecules and target RNA is not affected.
Step 5: as shown in fig. 2, an optical path diagram is constructed. Equal volumes of GO-AuNPs-RNAp2 complex are mixed with miRNA-126 solutions with different concentrations (the final concentration of target RNA is 10 < -1 > nM, 100 nM, 101 nM, 102 nM, 103 nM and 104 nM respectively), and the mixture is placed in a water bath kettle at 60 ℃ for heating, then naturally cooled to room temperature and incubated for a period of time, so that the pairing base between the complex and the target RNA is fully reacted. Then, the GO-AuNPs-RNAp1 functionalized optical fiber sensing probe is placed in the mixed solution for a period of time, and the change of an optical fiber LSPR spectrogram is recorded. The samples at each concentration were tested in triplicate and then averaged to reduce experimental error.
As shown in fig. 3, when the optical fiber probe fixed with GO-AuNPs-RNAp is immersed in the miRNA-126 solution, GO-AuNPs-RNAp2-miRNA-126 adsorbs to GO-AuNPs-RNAp1 on the surface of the optical fiber through RNA base complementary pairing reaction, so that the distribution of composite particles on the optical fiber is changed, the LSPR peak value of the material is changed, and the absorption peak intensity is increased. We measured the sensitivity of the sensor by how much the intensity of the absorbance peak varies with miRNA-126 in solution.
As shown in FIG. 4, we prepared several other miRNAs solutions (miRNA-21, miRNA-106, miRNA-148a and random sequences) at equal concentrations to evaluate the specificity of the fiber LSPR MIRNA-126 sensor for miRNA-126 detection. Control experiments were performed with GO-AuNPs-RNAp2 complex solution without any RNA added as a blank. It can be seen that equal concentrations of miRNA-21, miRNA-106, miRNA-148a and random sequence samples do not bridge the two RNA probes together due to base unpairement with RNAp1 and RNAp2, and therefore the corresponding LSPR spectral patterns do not change significantly. In contrast, only miRNA-126 base paired with both RNA probes can cause the free GO-AuNPs-RNAp2 complex to adsorb near the GO-AuNPs-RNAp1 on the fiber surface by hybridization reaction and cause significant changes in LSPR. By comparing the LSPR spectral pattern changes of each group of sample solutions, the optical fiber biosensor has good selectivity.
As shown in FIG. 5, the response time of the fiber LSPR MIRNA-126 sensor is defined as the time from the time the fiber-optic probe immersed in the miRNA-126 solution responds until the sensor receives a stable signal. GO-AuNPs-RNAp2-miRNA-126 is adsorbed to GO-AuNPs-RNAp1 on the surface of the optical fiber through RNA base complementary pairing reaction, so that the distribution of the complex on the optical fiber is changed, and the LSPR peak value of the complex is changed. After 40 min the sensor signal tended to stabilize and the response time of the sensor was 40 min.
Example 2
The introduction of GO in the optical fiber miRNA-126 detection method of graphene oxide coated gold nanoparticles can improve the stability of the composite particles GO-AuNPs.
Adding trisodium citrate solution (1% (w/w) with the volume of 0.75mL into boiled chloroauric acid solution (0.01% (w/w) and 50 mL), preparing gold nanoparticles with the particle size of 37: 37 nm, mixing the synthesized AuNPs solution and GO solution according to the ratio of 2:1 for 2 h to obtain composite particles GO-AuNPs, and researching the stability of the composite particles. The potential difference between the continuous phase in solution and the particles dispersed therein defines the Zeta potential, the absolute value of which is directly related to the stability of the solution system. In general, the positive and negative values of the Zeta potential of the sample represent the positive and negative of the charge, the absolute value of the Zeta potential represents the quantity of the charge, and the larger the absolute value of the potential is, the more the charges of the particles in the sample system are, the repulsive force among the particles is enhanced, and the whole system becomes more stable. To evaluate the dispersion stability of the prepared GO-AuNPs composite particle solution, zeta potential detection was performed by a laser particle sizer Zetasizer Nano ZS, and the test results are shown in fig. 6. From the graph, the Zeta potential of the GO-AuNPs composite particles is higher than the potential value of the independent AuNPs, which shows that the dispersion stability of the synthesized GO-AuNPs composite particles is higher than that of the independent AuNPs, and the dispersion stability of the metal particles is improved by introducing GO, so that the possibility is provided for improving the sensing performance of the sensor.
Example 3
Conditions such as the proportion of each component in the preparation process of the composite particles affect the sensitivity of the sensor. The parameters were adjusted and the rest was the same as in example 1.
Different volumes (0.3, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.75 and mL) of trisodium citrate solution (1% (w/w) are added into boiling chloroauric acid solution (0.01% (w/w) and 50 mL) to prepare gold nanoparticles (18 nm, 23 nm, 37 nm, 56 nm and 76 nm) with different particle sizes, the synthesized AuNPs solution and GO solution are mixed according to the proportion of 2:1,
The fiber etching time was 4 hours, the material crosslinking time was 6 hours, and the procedure of example 1 was followed, except that the fiber was immersed in a 9% APTES solution for 8 hours. As shown in fig. 7, when the particle diameter is too large, steric hindrance to be overcome when the GO-AuNPs composite particles are bonded to the optical fiber becomes large, and the composite particles fixed to the surface of the optical fiber are relatively small, which may result in a decrease in refractive index sensitivity of the optical fiber. These phenomena are determined by the method of synthesis of the GO-AuNPs composite particles and the way in which the GO-AuNPs composite particles are immobilized to the surface of the optical fiber. In addition, in the process of synthesizing AuNPs, the amount of sodium citrate added is different, the amount of citrate adsorbed on the surface of the AuNPs is different, the amount of charge carried on the surface of the AuNPs is different, and the particle stability is different. Therefore, the optimal gold nanoparticle size was 37 nm.
The ratio of AuNPs/GO is adjusted to 0.5, 1,2,3 and 4, and the GO-AuNPs composite particles prepared by the rest methods are fixed on an optical fiber probe and placed in solutions with different refractive indexes prepared by glycerol solution, so that the sensitivity to the change of the refractive index is shown in figure 8. As can be seen from fig. 8, as the AuNPs/GO ratio increases, the refractive index sensitivity of the sensing probe increases, because increasing the concentration of AuNPs increases the generation of LSPR phenomenon, and the response of the sensing probe is more remarkable, but when the content of AuNPs is too large and the content of GO is too low, the effect of reinforcing the AuNPs LSPR cannot be achieved, and the sensitivity of the sensing probe is reduced. Therefore, the composite particles of the GO-AuNPs are synthesized when the ratio of the AuNPs to the GO is 3:1, and are fixed on the surface of the optical fiber so as to ensure that the optical fiber sensing probe with the best performance is obtained.
The fiber probes with immobilized GO-AuNPs composite particles after treatment with APTES concentrations changed to 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11% and modification times changed to 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 h (the rest methods are the same as above) were placed in different refractive index solutions prepared from glycerol solutions, and the change of the refractive index sensitivity was obtained as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. As can be seen from fig. 9 to 10, as the concentration of the crosslinking agent and the modification time increase, the refractive index sensitivity of the optical fiber probe increases because the concentration of the crosslinking agent and the modification time increase, the more sensitive material fixed to the optical fiber probe increases, the more LSPR phenomenon occurs, and the more the response of the sensing probe becomes apparent. However, the concentration of the cross-linking agent is too large, the modification time is too long, the steric hindrance on the optical fiber is increased, the fixed amount of the sensitive material is reduced, and the refractive index sensitivity of the sensing probe is reduced. Therefore, the optimum concentration of the crosslinking agent is 9% and the optimum modification time is 8 h.
The GO-AuNPs composite particle optical fiber probes (the rest methods are the same) fixed at different crosslinking times (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h) are placed in solutions with different refractive indexes prepared from glycerol solutions, and the relation between the refractive index sensitivity and the crosslinking time is shown in figure 11. As the crosslinking time increases, the increase of GO-AuNPs composite particles fixed on the optical fiber probe increases the generation of LSPR phenomenon, and the more obvious the response of the sensing probe is; when the crosslinking time is too long, the GO-AuNPs composite particles are agglomerated on the optical fiber probe, so that the LSPR phenomenon is affected, and the sensitivity of the optical fiber sensing probe is reduced. Thus, the optimal time for crosslinking was 6 h.
