Description

Sample pretreatment liquid, method and kit capable of simultaneously detecting 12 catecholamines, metabolites and creatinine in human urine
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of kits, and particularly relates to a sample pretreatment liquid capable of simultaneously detecting 12 catecholamines, metabolites thereof and creatinine in human urine, a pretreatment method and a kit based on the sample pretreatment liquid.
Background
Catecholamines (CA) include Norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), and Dopamine (DA), and CA in the circulatory system is mainly derived from the adrenal medulla and sympathetic nervous system, and has extremely strong physiological activity as an important neurotransmitter or hormone, and participates in the regulation and metabolism of various organ systems such as the cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, kidney, smooth muscle tissue, and the like of the body. DL-3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl glycol (3, 4-Dihydroxyphenyl glycol, DHPG), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethylene glycol (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethylene glycol, MHPG), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, DOPAC), cystein DOPA (5-S-cysteinyl DOPA, cys-DOPA), methoxynorepinephrine (NMN), methoxyepinephrine (MN), and 3-methoxytyramine (3-methoxytyramine, 3-MT) are intermediate metabolites of catecholamine, vanillyl mandelic acid (vanillylmandelic acid, VMA), and homovanillic acid (homovanillic acid, HVA) are final end metabolites, and are all finally excreted from urine.
CA and its metabolite levels increase or decrease in association with a number of pathophysiological states, and can be used as important biomarkers for screening, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases such as tumors (e.g., pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, neuroblastoma, metastatic melanoma, etc.), metabolic diseases (e.g., dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency, aromatic amino acid decarboxylase deficiency, mentha's disease, etc.), and autonomic nervous system diseases (e.g., diabetic peripheral neuropathy, familial amyloidogenic nerve damage, orthostatic hypotension, etc.).
More classical is the use for diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma and neuroblastoma. Pheochromocytoma (PCC) originates from the adrenal medulla, and Paraganglioma (PGL) originates from the sympathetic nerve chain outside the adrenal gland, both of which (collectively PPGL) are capable of synthesizing, secreting and releasing a large amount of CA, causing a series of clinical syndromes such as elevated blood pressure and metabolic changes in patients, and can cause serious complications such as heart, brain, kidney, and even death in patients. The non-metastatic PPGL can be cured by surgical excision for early diagnosis, and the metastatic PPGL can be used for early diagnosis and timely surgery for prolonging the life of a patient, so that the early diagnosis and early treatment of the PPGL have great significance for disease prognosis. CA and its metabolite are the main basis for qualitative diagnosis of PPGL, and relevant guidelines at home and abroad recommend detection of blood or urine NE, E, DA, NMN, MN, 3-MT, HVA and VMA concentrations. Neuroblastoma (NB) originates from the adrenal medulla or paraspinal sympathetic nervous system, is the most common extracranial solid tumor for infants and young children, accounts for 8% -10% of malignant tumors in children, has high heterogeneity in clinical manifestation and prognosis, and has high synchronous and obvious increase in urine/serum CA and metabolite levels in infants, and guidelines at home and abroad recommend detection of urine VMA and HVA to assist diagnosis and to evaluate response to treatment.
The determination of CA and its metabolites in blood or urine is also of diagnostic interest for other diseases. Such as a significant elevation in blood or urine Cys-DOPA from patients with metastatic melanoma; the diseases such as dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency, aromatic amino acid decarboxylase deficiency, mentha disease and the like can all occur with different degrees of blood or urine elevation of DA and DOPAC, and reduction of NE and DHPG; some of the more common autonomic nervous system diseases such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, familial amyloidogenic nerve damage, orthostatic hypotension, etc. can occur with decreased blood or urine NE and E, increased DHPG; in addition, MHPG is a major metabolite of NE in the hub and has diagnostic significance for some mental diseases.
The detection of CA and its metabolite concentration in blood or urine is characterized. The body position and stress state of a patient have great influence on the CA and metabolite levels in blood when blood is taken, the blood is taken after the posture is fixed for a certain time (sitting position or lying position for at least half an hour), the blood is taken as invasive operation, the operation is inconvenient in clinical practice, meanwhile, the CA and metabolite concentration levels in the blood are extremely low (pg/ml level), the sensitivity requirement on a detection instrument is extremely high, the sample pretreatment is more complicated and time-consuming, the detection cost is high, and the popularization and the clinical application are difficult. CA and its metabolite concentration levels in urine are relatively high (ng/ml and μg/ml levels) and constant, urine is noninvasively available. The random urine is convenient and quick to collect, patient compliance is good, but is easily influenced by concentration degree of urine, and because the generation and the excretion of Creatinine (Cr) of a human body are relatively stable, concentration degree of urine by kidneys can be accurately reflected, and clinical detection of the random urine can be realized by detecting concentration of Creatinine in the random urine to correct concentration of CA metabolite. However, for patients with reduced creatinine production (e.g., those with prolonged bed rest, wasting) or limited excretion (e.g., those with renal insufficiency), it is necessary to combine the 24-hour urine output for quantification,
The existing methods for detecting urinary CA and its metabolites have the following drawbacks:
(1) The detection method has low sensitivity, specificity and convenience. For example, patent applications CN104062388B, CN107462647B, CN114994211a and CN115015426a, high Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical method (HPLC-ECD) and the like are adopted to detect urine CA and its metabolites, the sensitivity of the HPLC method is limited, and the detection is easily affected by a plurality of interferents in the body, resulting in reduced accuracy; the HPLC-ECD method has the advantages of complicated sample pretreatment, time consumption, long detection time and easy interference of a plurality of substances.
(2) Basically, 24 hours urine needs to be collected for detection, which is long in time consumption and easy to make mistakes. Because the concentration degree difference of random urine of a human body is large, the concentration difference of substances in the urine is also large, and the urine volume of 24 hours is always collected for comprehensively quantifying the substances secreted in the urine, the current detection of catecholamine and metabolites thereof is basically carried out by collecting the urine of 24 hours, but the time for collecting the urine of 24 hours is long and is easy to make mistakes, and the operation of an outpatient and a special patient (such as an infant patient and a long-term bedridden patient) is inconvenient, so that the accuracy and the rapidness of auxiliary diagnosis of tumors are affected.
(3) The pretreatment steps of the urine sample are tedious, time-consuming and low in efficiency. For example, in patent applications CN113917007A, CN114441664A, CN109709255A and CN109142594a, the respective detection methods need to perform steps of acidification high-temperature hydrolysis, derivatization reaction, re-dissolution after drying solid phase extraction eluent with nitrogen, etc. when urine is pretreated, which is long in time consumption and not easy to control, increases reagent cost and time cost, and also affects clinical use of the solid phase extraction eluent.
In view of the above, it is very necessary to develop a simple and economical pretreatment solution and pretreatment method for samples, which can detect catecholamine and its metabolites and creatinine in 24 hours urine and random urine of human body simultaneously, and has practical clinical application value.

The second object of the invention is achieved by a sample pretreatment method for detecting 12 catecholamines, metabolites thereof and creatinine in human urine by using the pretreatment liquid, which is characterized by comprising a pretreatment step I and a pretreatment step II;
the pretreatment step I is to directly mix a sample, a diluent and an internal standard solution, and then to centrifuge at a high speed to obtain a supernatant to obtain a treated sample liquid I, wherein the centrifugation speed is 10000-14000 rpm, and the centrifugation time is 5-10 minutes;

The third object of the present invention is achieved by a kit for detecting 12 catecholamines and their metabolites and creatinine in human urine, comprising the sample pretreatment liquid.
The sample pretreatment adopts a solid-phase extraction method, selects a proper solid-phase extraction material according to physicochemical properties (such as polarity, molecular weight, pKa value and the like) of target analytes, and adjusts extraction reagents and extraction conditions so as to achieve the purposes of concentrating and purifying biological samples. The filler of the 96-well solid-phase extraction plate is a weak cation exchange material, and is mainly reserved by charge action and/or nonpolar acting force, the pKa of CA and its metabolite is about 10, while the pKa of Cr is 4.8, when the pH of the solution is near neutral, the former is mainly positively charged and is mainly reserved in the filler small column by charge adsorption, and the latter is mainly negatively charged and cannot be reserved by charge action, so the solution is mainly reserved by nonpolar acting force.
The invention optimizes and simplifies the extraction reagent and extraction condition of sample pretreatment, so that the solid phase extraction can directly sample and analyze in five steps, and the invention relates to the following principle: (1) the activation aims at infiltrating the solid phase, so that the solid phase is activated in a liquid phase environment and is prepared for the subsequent steps; (2) balancing, namely enabling the filler to be in a proper state capable of adsorbing target analytes, and using a buffer solution (pH 6-7) with a certain concentration to reach an equilibrium state; (3) in order to ensure that most of target analytes are reserved in the solid-phase filler to achieve a certain recovery rate, the pH value of a sample loading system is maintained to be about 7, and the pH value of the sample loading system is regulated by using a hydroxyethyl piperazine ethyl sulfate acid solution with a certain concentration because the pH value of urine of a clinical patient has a large change range; (4) the leaching is used for washing away impurities or interferents adsorbed in the filler as much as possible under the condition that the retention of target analytes is not influenced, and during the development process, we find that Cr retained in the filler is easy to be washed away by an organic reagent (a conventional leaching step) and the nonpolar acting force is presumed to be easy to be damaged by the organic reagent, so that the leaching after the sample application cannot be conventionally washed by using a pure organic reagent, but a large proportion of water phase is used instead, and most of water-soluble impurities in urine can be washed away and the retention of Cr is not influenced; (5) the eluting solution is required to not only elute and retain the target analyte of [1] on the filler, but also meet the detection requirement of LC-MS/MS. The eluent needs to be added with a certain amount of acid to reduce the pH value and contain a certain amount of organic reagent to destroy the binding force of the target analyte and the filler so as to elute the target analyte, but the ratio of the pH value to the organic reagent needs to be controlled within a certain range, otherwise, the LC-MS/MS detection is influenced. Furthermore, the amount of eluent should not be too great, otherwise the analyte is excessively diluted and the concentration is reduced, and a small portion of the clinical sample itself having a lower concentration may be below the minimum quantification limit. The eluent developed by the invention has specific formic acid addition amount, methanol proportion and volume, and the concentration of the object to be detected in the eluent can reach the lowest quantitative limit by only eluting once.
The invention optimizes the liquid phase condition and mass spectrum parameter of LC-MS/MS. In the aspect of mass spectrometry conditions, because CA and metabolites thereof form sulfate binding products in urine, the binding rate IS 80% -90%, the free type accounts for 10% -20% (the free type concentration IS detected by the method), the concentration IS relatively low, and mass spectrometry parameters are optimized to maximize the signal response of each analyte, so that parameters such as spray voltage (IS), ion source Temperature (TEM), gas curtain gas (CUR) and collision gas (CAD) are optimized and adjusted to maximize the signal response of the analytes. NE, E, DA, DHPG, MHPG, DOPAC, cys-DOPA, NMN, MN, 3-MT and Cr respond well in positive ion mode, VMA and HVA respond well in negative ion mode, so that detection is performed in two modes separately, and time is saved if mass spectrum capable of switching positive and negative ions in the same method is used.
In terms of liquid phase conditions, the choice of analytical column is critical. The detected CA and the metabolite thereof are aromatic compounds, creatinine is a heterocyclic compound, the molecular weight is small, the water solubility is high, the polarity is strong, the pentafluorophenyl reversed phase chromatographic column takes ultrapure silica gel as a matrix surface to bond with pentafluorophenyl ethyl as a filler, the group can generate dipole induction effect, and has stronger separation capability on easily polarized substances such as aromatic rings, heterocyclic compounds and the like, so that the detected substances can achieve better retention and separation effects, and meanwhile, the service life of the analytical column can be prolonged by being provided with a protective column. In LC-MS/MS methods, the mobile phase is the basis for ensuring that each target analyte can be effectively separated and detected, and generally includes mobile phase a (aqueous phase) and mobile phase B (organic phase), and in most cases, a certain amount of additives are added, and an appropriate flow rate and column temperature are selected in cooperation with an analytical column, and an optimal ratio gradient is explored to achieve the objective of optimizing the chromatographic behavior of the analyte (including appropriate retention time, symmetrical and smooth peak shape, narrower peak width, etc.). In the method, a certain amount of formic acid is added to adjust the pH value of the mobile phase, so that the protonizing capacity of 13 objects to be detected can be effectively improved, the response is enhanced, the peak shape is improved, a large proportion of water phase (phase A) is used as the initial proportion of the mobile phase, the proportion of the organic phase is increased in a gradient manner, the timely elution and separation of the analytes are facilitated, and the final gradient elution scheme is shown in a table 3. In addition, the method uses an internal standard method for quantification, and an ideal internal standard substance has basically consistent physicochemical properties, chromatographic behavior and response characteristics with the analyzed compound, can offset systematic errors and matrix effects, achieves more accurate quantitative analysis, and is an ideal internal standard substance. The method of the invention uses the isotope internal standard corresponding to each analyte, has the same retention time and matrix effect as the analyte, and enhances the detection accuracy and anti-interference capability.
The invention optimizes the liquid phase condition and mass spectrum parameters, further shortens the detection time, improves the sensitivity and the specificity, and realizes the simultaneous detection of 12 CA and metabolites thereof and Cr.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
1. the pretreatment liquid for the urine sample, developed by the invention, overcomes the systematic defect in the prior art, effectively separates and enriches the object to be detected in the urine sample, further simplifies the solid-phase extraction step of the urine sample, is easy to elute, and can directly carry out on-machine sample injection analysis without the time-consuming and complicated steps of nitrogen blowing, re-dissolving and the like. The method has the advantages of improving the detection efficiency, reducing the cost, improving the detection sensitivity, improving the clinical disease diagnosis efficiency by popularization and application, and reducing the burden and inconvenience of patients.
2. The sample pretreatment method based on the treatment fluid can simultaneously extract and separate catecholamine and metabolites thereof and creatinine in urine, further realizes the simultaneous detection of catecholamine and metabolites thereof and creatinine by one LC-MS/MS method through the optimization of liquid phase conditions and mass spectrum parameters, does not need to independently treat and independently use other methods or equipment to extract and detect creatinine, further shortens the detection time by more than 50%, improves the efficiency, reduces the cost and ensures the detection homogeneity.
3. The kit based on the sample pretreatment liquid can be used for simultaneously detecting 12 catecholamine substances (namely NE, E, DA, DHPG, MHPG, DOPAC, cys-DOPA, NMN, MN and 3-MT, VMA, HVA) in human urine samples, expands the disease range of auxiliary diagnosis, and can assist diagnosis including but not limited to pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, neuroblastoma, metastatic melanoma, some metabolic diseases and autonomic nervous system diseases.
4. The urine detection kit disclosed by the invention has high detection sensitivity, and the random urine sample detection result can meet the clinical diagnosis requirement, so that the defect that the detection method in the prior art needs to collect a 24-hour (accumulated) urine sample for detection can be used for diagnosis is overcome. In clinical practice, the inventor finds that 24-hour urine for examination is easy to have the conditions of unrecorded 24-hour urine volume, error taking and the like, and the 24-hour urine taking is long in time and easy to pollute, which can lead to poor patient detection compliance. In addition, it is difficult for some special patients such as infants and long-term bedridden patients to leave 24-hour urine. In contrast, the detection technology of the invention only needs to collect random urine samples, is convenient and quick, has better patient compliance, and has evidence at present that the diagnosis efficacy of 24-hour urine and random urine for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma is equivalent, so that the detection of the random urine is clinically required, and the kit and the detection method can solve the clinical problem.
5. The kit based on the sample pretreatment liquid has higher sensitivity, and when 5 indexes (NMN, MN, 3-MT, VMA and HVA) in random urine are used for jointly diagnosing the cytoma and the paraganglioma, the detection sensitivity and the specificity reach 100%, the AUC value reaches 1, and the detection limit can meet the detection of almost all clinical urine samples, so that the kit can be widely applied to various level type liquid chromatograph tandem mass spectrometers; all detection indexes are corrected by using corresponding isotope internal standards, so that the specificity is high, and the detection anti-interference capability is high.
In conclusion, the sample pretreatment liquid kit capable of simultaneously detecting 12 catecholamines, metabolites thereof and creatinine in urine can meet the clinical detection of random urine and 24-hour urine, can rapidly, simply and noninvasively assist in diagnosing diseases such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma or neuroblastoma, and the like, enables patients to be effectively and correctly diagnosed in time, is beneficial to improving the diagnosis and treatment rate of the diseases, saves medical cost, and has important clinical significance and economic value.
