Description

Composition for protecting beta-amyloid and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological detection, in particular to a composition for protecting beta-amyloid, a kit and application thereof.
Background
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease that contributes to the progressive progression of the underlying disease, affects about 3300 thousands worldwide. The clinical manifestations are as follows: memory impairment, aphasia, disuse, disrecognition, impairment of vision space skills, executive dysfunction, personality and behavioral changes, and the like. The histological changes of patients with alzheimer's disease after death were studied and found that extracellular deposits and neurofibrillary tangles were present in the brain, consisting of aggregated beta-amyloid beta-protein (aβ) and abnormally phosphorylated Tau protein, respectively. This is thought to be one of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
Among them, aβ is produced by cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (amyloid precursor protein, APP) which is widely present in various tissues and is intensively expressed in neuronal synapses by β -secretase and γ -secretase, and is a long peptide comprising 40 or 42 amino acids (hereinafter, abbreviated as "aβ40", "aβ42", respectively). Aβ42 has a molecular weight of about 4,514Da and Aβ40 has a molecular weight of about 4,330Da. The two peptides self-aggregate in aqueous solution to form oligomers and fibrils that are toxic to neuronal cells. Studies have shown that the ratio of aβ42 to aβ40 is promising as a clinical blood biomarker for effective diagnosis of alzheimer's disease.
Currently, aβ can be quantified by performing mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) or multiplex electrochemiluminescence immunoassay after Immunoprecipitation (IP), or by ELISA, but clinical sample detection has problems of large difficulty in detecting aβ, low accuracy of detection results, inability to reflect the actual content and ratio of aβ42 and aβ40 in patient plasma levels, and the like.
There is a need to improve the stability of clinical samples, reduce the difficulty in detecting aβ in clinical samples, improve the accuracy of detection results, and help clinicians to perform comprehensive and accurate diagnosis on alzheimer's patients.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art to at least some extent. Therefore, the invention provides a composition for protecting beta-amyloid, a kit and application thereof, and the composition can reduce the loss of beta-amyloid in a biological sample, particularly the loss of beta-amyloid in the preservation and detection processes of the biological sample, reduce the difficulty of Abeta detection, improve the accuracy of detection results and have high clinical value.
It is to be stated that the present invention has been completed based on the following work of the inventors:
aiming at the technical problems that the detection difficulty of clinical serum or plasma samples Abeta is high and the deviation between the detection result obtained by the existing detection means and the content of Abeta 42 and Abeta 40 of human blood plasma level Abeta 40 is large, the inventor analyzes the clinical detection results of a large number of Alzheimer's patients and refers to the literature to find that: aβ42 is more hydrophobic than aβ40and self-aggregation occurs more readily, specifically with aβ40 forming dimers and tetramers, while aβ42 forms dimers, tetramers, hexamers and dodecamers. Accordingly, the inventors speculate in a large scale that: (1) The strong hydrophobicity of the Abeta causes serious loss in the biological sample preservation and detection process, so the detection rate of Abeta 40and Abeta 42in human serum is very low; (2) When the biological sample leaves the organism, the loss rate of aβ42 may be significantly greater than aβ40, such that aβ42in human serum is hardly detected or abnormally low, and thus the ratio of the obtained aβ42 to aβ40 content has no clinical reference significance. The reasons for the two aspects greatly limit the clinical application of Abeta 42 and Abeta 40 as blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease or other related diseases caused by Abeta protein expression disturbance.
Further, the inventors have conducted a number of screening experiments and unexpectedly found that the inclusion of a buffer, a protease inhibitor, and a nonionic surfactant of at least two of NTM, DDM, DM, OTG, OG, tween-20 and Span-20 is effective in reducing the loss of β -amyloid in a biological sample, particularly the loss of aβ40and aβ42 during low temperature storage of the biological sample, and maintaining a stable ratio of aβ40 to aβ42 content. Further test results show that after the clinical serum or plasma samples added with the composition of the invention are stored at 4 ℃ for 20 hours, the A beta 40and the A beta 42 can still be effectively detected, and the content ratio of the A beta 40and the A beta 42 is basically consistent with that of the samples which are not stored at low temperature. Therefore, the composition can be applied to the existing Abeta quantitative method or the improvement thereof, can realize the accurate Abeta quantification, and provides reference for diagnosis and treatment of clinical Alzheimer's disease or other related diseases caused by Abeta protein expression disorder.

The composition of the invention can effectively reduce the loss of beta-amyloid in biological samples, especially the loss of Abeta 40and Abeta 42 during the preservation and detection of biological samples, and can also maintain the stable ratio of Abeta 40 to Abeta 42. The composition can be applied to quantitative detection of the Abeta in biological samples, can reduce the Abeta detection difficulty, improve the accuracy of detection results, and expand the clinical application of Abeta 42 and Abeta 40 as blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease or other related diseases caused by Abeta protein expression disorder.

The above results show that:
1. the Abeta protein protective agent is added into the serum sample 1 before low-temperature preservation, abeta 40and Abeta 42 target peaks can be still effectively identified after preservation for 18 hours at 4 ℃, and the detection result can be further used for Abeta 40and Abeta 42 quantitative analysis. This is consistent with the detection of the aβ40and aβ42 target peaks for serum control sample 3 (positive control); in sharp contrast to the results of no detection of the Aβ40and Aβ42 mesh peaks of the serum control sample 1, to which the Aβprotein protectant of the invention was not added, both before low-temperature storage and before mass spectrometry.
2. The A beta protein protective agent can reduce the loss of A beta 40and A beta 42in the serum sample detection process to a certain extent. Before mass spectrum detection, serum control sample 2 of the Abeta protein protective agent is added, after the serum control sample is preserved for 18 hours at 4 ℃, abeta 40and Abeta 42 target peaks are detected, and the protective effect of the Abeta protein protective agent can be continuously shown until the sample detection is finished.

Mu.L was taken as a control sample of the A.beta.40/A.beta.42 ratio in a 0.6mL centrifuge tube, and the sample was directly subjected to 1.2 steps without storage at 4 ℃.
1.2 sample processing

The above test results show that the serum samples (detected after 18h storage at 4 ℃) to which the aβ protein protective agent of the present invention was added and the aβ40/aβ42 ratio control samples (detected immediately after the addition of the preset amounts of aβ40, aβ42) to which the aβ40 protective agent of the present invention was not added were substantially identical to the ratio of aβ42 to aβ40 or the ratio of aβ40 to aβ42.
The results show that the Abeta protein protective agent has good protective effect on Abeta protein in serum samples, and can effectively maintain the content ratio of Abeta 40 to Abeta 42 unchanged.
Furthermore, the Aβ protein protectant is added into biological samples, especially liquid biological samples such as serum or plasma of mammals, so that the stability of Aβ protein during sample storage can be obviously improved, the loss of β -amyloid can be effectively reduced, the detection difficulty of Aβ can be further reduced, the detection accuracy of the existing Aβ quantitative method can be improved, and references are provided for clinical diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease or other related diseases caused by the imbalance of Aβ protein expression.
