Description

Method for detecting histone methylation and acetylation modification level of specific cell population based on flow cytometry
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a method for detecting histone methylation and acetylation modification levels of specific cell populations based on flow cytometry.
Background
Histones (Histones), which mainly include H1, H2A, H2B, H, and H4, are a group of evolutionarily very conserved basic proteins found in the chromatin of eukaryotic cells, and have the effects of maintaining DNA structure, protecting genetic information, and regulating gene expression. Under the catalysis of methyltransferase, the N-terminal arginine and lysine residues of histones H3 and H4 are methylated. Histone methylation modification has the functions of regulating gene transcription, DNA repair, heterochromatin formation and the like, and the regulation result depends on methylation residues and methylation degree. Histone methylation modification abnormality is closely related to occurrence of diseases such as tumor.
In addition to methylation modification, histone lysine residues are acetylated under the action of Histone Acetyl Transferases (HATs) and can be deacetylated by deacetylase (HDACs). Histone acetylation modification has important significance: 1. neutralizing histone charge, weakening interaction of histone and DNA, loosening chromatin structure, facilitating transcription; 2. providing specific anchoring sites for transcription factors, facilitating binding; 3. the acetylation modification is combined with other modification modes to regulate gene transcription. Currently, histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are useful as mood stabilizers and antiepileptic drugs, and have been used as potential treatments for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory diseases.
Therefore, by researching histone methylation and acetylation modification, not only can the apparent genetic control be more understood, but also a huge application prospect can be mined, and a mechanism research is provided for related drug development.
Currently, in the prior art, detection methods for histone methylation and acetylation modification mainly comprise chromatin co-immunoprecipitation, western blot, immunofluorescence and the like. However, each method has a certain degree of limitation, and cannot be balanced in sensitivity, detection cost, sample size, and accurate quantification. For example, chromatin co-immunoprecipitation is cumbersome, requires a long time span, requires the use of specialized equipment, and the difference in analytical methods can result in difficulty in balancing accuracy, simplicity, operational complexity, and cost; protein electrophoresis (Western blot) can only perform semi-quantitative detection on a low-flux sample on the whole level, and cannot meet the deeper requirements; immunofluorescence is not easy, and is not suitable for high-flux sample detection while being incapable of accurately quantifying. The comparison of the features of several common detection methods is shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 characterization comparison of common histone methylation and acetylation modification level detection methods
Therefore, based on the limitations of the existing detection methods, a new detection method is needed in the art to meet the requirements of histone methylation and acetylation modification detection, that is, the method has the characteristics of high sensitivity, accurate quantification, simple operation, low detection cost, flexibility and the like.
Disclosure of Invention
The conventional flow staining procedure used the intracellular staining method using a commercial eBioscience ™ Foxp 3/transcription factor staining buffer kit. However, in the course of histone methylation and acetylation modification detection, the real level of histone methylation and acetylation modification cannot be detected in real time due to the presence of methyltransferases, acetyltransferases, and the like.

According to the method for detecting histone methylation and acetylation modification levels of specific cell populations based on flow cytometry, formaldehyde and ethanol are used as fixatives, and the histone methylation and acetylation modification levels of a cell sample to be detected are detected by flow cytometry, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, preparing a fixing agent: preparing 1% formaldehyde as a pre-fixing agent and preparing 70% ethanol as a fixing agent;
step 2, screening a fluorescent channel to be detected: firstly, using BD cell fixing liquid as a fixing agent, detecting the fluorescence intensity and the expression percentage of a CD3 antibody under each fluorescent channel, then fixing a sample by using the fixing agent obtained in the step 1, detecting the fluorescence intensity and the expression percentage of the CD3 antibody under each fluorescent channel, comparing the results, and screening out fluorescent channels which are not influenced by the components of the fixing agent for subsequent detection; step 3, grouping sample cells according to the expression intensity of immune cell markers, and designing a combination mode of a fluorescent channel and an antibody under different cell populations, wherein the combination mode comprises a methylation detection combination mode and an acetylation detection combination mode;
