Abstract

The invention provides an extracellular vesicle detection device and a detection method. The nitrocellulose has strong adsorption effect on biological molecules, the polypeptide of the targeting extracellular vesicle membrane is adsorbed on the NC membrane, and is firmly combined on the surface of the membrane on the premise of not generating covalent crosslinking, and meanwhile, the function of combining extracellular vesicles is still reserved. The polypeptides are arranged on the NC membrane in the form of a microarray, and can be stored at room temperature after drying while still maintaining the binding activity. Before being used for sample detection, surfactant with proper concentration is directly added to the polypeptide microarray, so that hydrophobic sites on the NC membrane surface can be blocked, non-specific binding of biomolecules is avoided, and the background signal is obviously reduced. After a biological sample containing extracellular vesicles is added to the microarray, the extracellular vesicles can be captured by a polypeptide probe with targeting ability, and detection of the extracellular vesicles can be realized by using a detection probe with a fluorescent group.

Description

Extracellular vesicle detection device and detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to an extracellular vesicle detection device and a detection method.
Background
Extracellular vesicles (Extracellular Vesicles, EVs) are a class of membranous vesicles secreted extracellularly by living cells, typically between 20-200nm in diameter. Secretory EVs are physiological functions common to organisms of the eukaryotic, prokaryotic and archaebacterial kingdoms, and EVs generally contain various biomolecules (such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, small molecule metabolites, etc.), mediate interactions between cells, and participate in various vital activities of organisms. The stable presence of EVs from the human body itself and the flora in the body fluid of humans, the capture and analysis of these EVs is a great aid in understanding healthy physiological and abnormal disease states. However, EVs have small particle size and complex composition, and are difficult to separate from biological samples, thus making the development of the field difficult.
Microarrays are discrete spots of spatially ordered arrays formed by immobilizing ligands on a solid substrate. Microarray technology can simultaneously identify the binding of multiple ligands to target substances using only trace amounts of samples, and has great potential in the field of extracellular vesicle research. Prior studies have generally immobilized probe molecules with extracellular vesicle binding capacity on a substrate to achieve capture and in situ detection of extracellular vesicles. Antibodies are the most commonly used capture molecules, and by covalent binding to a functionalized surface via chemical bonds, antibodies directed against vesicle surface proteins can be bound to a substrate, followed by detection of the bound vesicles by fluorescent antibody hybridization or spectroscopy. By increasing the variety of capture antibodies and detection probes, multi-index analysis of vesicles can be achieved.
Most extracellular vesicle detection microarrays at present use antibodies as probe molecules to target specific proteins on the surface of vesicles, but the antibodies are high in price and poor in stability, and large differences exist between different manufacturers and different batches of antibodies, so that the comparison and analysis of results are not facilitated.
In addition to antibodies, polypeptides that selectively recognize vesicles are also used in the enrichment of extracellular vesicles and in microarray detection. Compared with the antibody, the polypeptide has the characteristics of low cost and easy storage, is more suitable for practical application, and provides a new tool for the research of extracellular vesicles.
However, in the prior art, when preparing polypeptide microarrays, polypeptides are usually connected to a substrate in a covalent bond form by using a chemical reaction, active groups available for the reaction must exist on the polypeptide sequence, so that modification or sequence modification of the adopted polypeptide probes is required according to requirements, which is not beneficial to the direct application of natural polypeptides. Numerous factors influence the covalent reaction conditions and extensive optimization of reagents and conditions is required to obtain the desired experimental results. In order to solve the above problems, there are also researchers to directly synthesize polypeptides on a substrate, but the reaction requires high demands on technology and instrumentation, and the application of polypeptide microarrays is limited.

The extracellular vesicle membrane-targeting polypeptide can be adsorbed onto a Nitrocellulose (NC) membrane, and firmly bound to the membrane surface without covalent crosslinking, while still retaining the extracellular vesicle-binding function. The polypeptides are arranged on the NC membrane in the form of a microarray, and can be stored at room temperature after drying while still maintaining the binding activity. Before being used for sample detection, surfactant with proper concentration is directly added to the polypeptide microarray, so that hydrophobic sites on the NC membrane surface can be blocked, non-specific binding of biomolecules is avoided, and the background signal is obviously reduced.

The three blocking solutions were (A) 5% skim milk, (B) 5% skim milk plus 0.05% Tween-20 and (C) 0.05% Tween-20, respectively. Skim milk is the most commonly used blocking agent in the case of performing a western blot experiment using nitrocellulose membrane, but in a polypeptide microarray experiment, the presence of a large molecular weight protein prevents the extracellular vesicles from binding to a polypeptide probe, and a blocking solution containing only a small molecular surfactant is beneficial to obtaining a result signal.
The effect of varying concentrations of Tween-20 on the results is shown in FIG. 11. The three concentrations were (A) 0.025%, (B) 0.05% and (C) 0.1%, respectively. When the concentration of the surfactant Tween-20 is too low, the blocking cannot be completely realized, so that the background is too high; if the concentration is too high, the polypeptide probe may be washed away, so that the concentration of Tween-20 in the blocking solution is preferably 0.05-0.1%.
