Description

Raman spectrum analysis method for non-invasively evaluating embryonic development quality and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of embryo in-vitro culture, and particularly relates to a Raman spectrum analysis method for noninvasive evaluation of embryo development quality and application thereof.
Background
The embryonic cells can be selectively transplanted into a receptor for further development after in vitro fertilization culture, and the development quality of the embryo is an important factor influencing the embryo fate after transplantation. Therefore, the evaluation of the development quality of the embryo is very important before the transplantation, and the transplantation of the high-quality embryo is completed, so that the embryo outcome after the transplantation can be greatly improved.
One of the methods for evaluating the quality before embryo transplantation is to grade the embryo by morphological observation, grade the development quality of cells by combining morphological standards of different development stages and determine whether the cells meet the transplantation conditions according to records, the method is most mature and widely used, but the method excessively depends on human judgment and has different execution standards, and the transplantation success rate of selecting the transplanted embryo cells and meeting the expected outcome is limited. Secondly, genetic evaluation before embryo cell transplantation is carried out by using a gene sequencing method, which is also an important evaluation method in practical application, but most of the methods are not non-invasive detection in technology and have the problems of high cost, long time consumption and the like. Therefore, more technical schemes need to be supplemented to evaluate the development potential of the embryo in the application.
The method can be used as a method for indirectly monitoring the physiological condition of cells based on the metabolic spectrum analysis of the embryo culture solution, and the monitored metabolic level has great correlation with the continuous development potential of the embryo cells. Therefore, the application feasibility of evaluating the development potential of the embryo by the variation of the metabolic markers is realized. The biomarker for monitoring the embryonic development metabolic level comprises two parts, namely nutrient substrates taken up and consumed by cells and metabolic secretions produced by the cells, and other techniques for performing embryonic cell development quality evaluation by using other spectroscopic analysis methods mainly comprise the following steps: liquid phase/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, near infrared spectroscopy and other instrument analysis methods.
CN105112491A discloses a screening method of goat transgenic cloned embryo quality evaluation differential metabolites based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technology and morphology. The technical scheme of the screening method combines morphological evaluation (morphological standard) of the embryo, and firstly tries to detect the change of the embryo metabolic substances by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis technology, analyzes whether the correlation exists between the change and the embryo development potential, and provides reference for searching and predicting the research of the goat transgenic clone embryo development potential. However, the cost of mass spectrometry is high, and the application has certain limitation.
CN112945894A discloses a method for noninvasive detection of embryo culture solution metabolites by infrared spectroscopy, which comprises the steps of obtaining a solid sample of an embryo culture solution by means of rapid dehydration and drying of the embryo culture solution, obtaining high-quality embryo culture solution infrared spectroscopy by an infrared spectrometer, thereby reliably detecting the tiny metabolic differences of the embryo culture solution under different conditions, carrying out spectral analysis on the collected sample, and guiding embryo screening based on spectral biomarkers according to the blastocyst formation rate, pregnancy ending and the like of the collected sample, thereby more accurately and conveniently evaluating the embryo quality. However, the infrared spectrum absorbs water molecules, so that the substance detection of a liquid sample in practical application is interfered by the signal of the water molecules.
Therefore, the method for non-invasively, accurately and efficiently evaluating the development quality of the embryonic cells is provided, and has important significance for improving the success rate of pregnancy after embryo transplantation.

If the assessment is performed in the same batch, internal standard quantification of the biomarker is performed directly.
(5) Intra biomarker scalar analysis: for aqueous liquid samples, the raman signature of water molecules therein is stable, typically 1638 cm -1 If no other substance peak generates signal contribution at the position, taking the peak value/peak area of the position characteristic peak as a reference value of the internal standard substance; for the dried crystalline sample, the culture solution contains C-C ring vibration mode molecules with Raman shift of 1000-1007 cm at characteristic peak position -1 Has a significant characteristic peak, and can be taken as the positionAnd setting the characteristic peak value as a reference value of the concentration of the internal standard substance, wherein the standard of selecting the reference value is to select the stable characteristic peak value with a single molecular vibration mode.
