Description

Detection method of human dry blood spot ceramide and kit for detecting ceramide
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of blood detection, and particularly relates to a detection method of human dry blood spot ceramide and a kit for detecting ceramide.
Background
Ceramides are a class of bioactive lipids that play an important role in cellular functions such as apoptosis and inflammation. New research data shows that ceramide not only has important biochemical significance, but also may have diagnostic uses. Many studies have revealed a close relationship between ceramide and cardiac metabolic status, with ceramide having independent predictive value for cardiovascular adverse events and type 2 diabetes onset. Studies have shown that different circulating levels of ceramide rise in diabetics, and that some specific ceramides can predict the onset of type 2 diabetes even a few years before onset [ Turpin-Nolan S M, bryning J C.The role of ceramides in metabolic disorders: when size and localization matters [ J ]. Nature Reviews Endocrinology,2020,16 (4): 224-233 ]. Ceramide concentrations have been shown to be predictive of cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and heart failure and atrial fibrillation [ Choi R H, tatum S M, symons J D, et al Ceramides and other sphingolipids as drivers of cardiovascular disease [ J ]. Nature reviews Cardiology,2021,18 (10): 701-711 ]. These associations were initially observed in small case control studies, comparing healthy controls to those of patients with stable coronary heart disease or acute coronary syndromes. These findings facilitate a series of larger scale cohort studies and randomized clinical trials.
The data obtained from these various studies helps to determine the clinical utility of clinical tests of ceramides, but the significance of individual ceramides and their effect on disease pathogenesis is still uncertain. This hampers the development of single ceramide clinical trials. Furthermore, panel tests involving several ceramide concentrations may be difficult to apply to clinical decisions and are not attractive diagnostic reporting options. To address these shortcomings, based on a large number of published data, risk scores using circulating ceramide concentrations have been developed and adapted for routine clinical practice. Currently, circulating ceramides are used clinically as biomarkers for effective risk of primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease [ Havulina A S, sysi-Aho M, hilvo M, et al, circulating ceramides predict cardiovascular outcomes in the population-based FINRISK 2002cohort [ J ], arteriosclerosis, thrombisis, and vascular biology,2016,36 (12): 2424-2430 ].
In these studies, which are basically carried out on serum or plasma as a matrix, the transport and storage of samples are extremely important in the accurate measurement of compounds in plasma/serum, and especially the transport of serum/plasma samples and the transport conditions thereof are challenges, which increases the cost of developing clinical studies. Over the past few years, dry Blood Spot (DBS) technology has become an advantageous tool for qualitative and quantitative biological analysis. DBS technology is a minimally invasive method for collecting small amounts of whole blood (.ltoreq.50. Mu.L) from the finger or heel and applying it to specially prepared filter papers for drying. DBS is considered to be the most suitable method for sampling biological material, and has particular inherent advantages, including that DBS samples do not require phlebotomy, that the required biological material is small in volume, that it can be stored and transported under ambient conditions, that the stability of the analyte is improved, and that the risk of infection caused by contaminating the sample is reduced. Existing DBS stability studies, although limited, have demonstrated the stability of analytes under various storage conditions [ Meesters RJ W, hooff GP.State-of-the-art dried blood spot analysis: an overview of recent advances and future trends [ J. ] Bioanalysis 2013,5 (17): 2187-2208 ]. DBS has been widely used in clinical practice, basic research and crowd-based research to date. The most common and widely accepted clinical application of DBS is for neonatal screening programs, which mainly involve screening detection of metabolic disorders. In addition, DBS is also used for quantitative analysis of endogenous substances such as human hormone and 25 hydroxy vitamin D, and exogenous substances such as drugs.
Because the volume of DBS sampling is smaller, the requirements on the detection sensitivity and chromatographic separation degree of quantitative analysis are higher, and meanwhile, the requirements on the precision between DBS samples are higher, so that the requirements on the sampling preparation of DBS are also higher, and the reliability and reliability of sample test are ensured. Therefore, DBS endogenous metabolite analysis, such as human hormone, 25 hydroxy vitamin D, is mostly performed by derivatization reaction to increase detection sensitivity, but at the same time, derivatization steps are complicated, and detection cost [ Demirev P A.driven blood spots: analysis and applications [ J ]. Analytical chemistry,2013,85 (2): 779-789 ]. In DBS quantitative analysis, the treatment of DBS samples is extremely critical, and currently reported pretreatment methods of DBS samples mainly comprise oscillation extraction, ultrasonic extraction and the like, such as human hormone and 25 hydroxy vitamin D [ Eyles D, anderson C, ko P, et al A active LC/MS/MS assay of 25OH vitamin D3and 25OH vitamin D2 in dried blood spots[J ]. Clinica chimica acta,2009,403 (1-2): 145-151 ] in DBS, and absolute quantitative analysis of DBS ceramide is freshly reported. In addition, in the quantitative analysis of DBS, the standard curve sample is prepared by replacing the whole blood matrix, so that time and labor are wasted, and the detection cost is increased.
Different analytical techniques have been used to measure ceramide in whole blood, plasma or serum, including gas chromatography, "shotgun" analysis, among which the most prominent is the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection method. However, in analytical studies of these ceramides, pretreatment methods are complicated and the analysis time is long, and qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis is used. In a recent study [ Meikopoulos T, begou O, theodordis G, et al Ceramides biomarkers determination in quantitative dried blood spots by UHPLC-MS/MS [ J ]. Analytica Chimica Acta,2023, 1255:34131 ], four ceramides were analyzed using a DBS technique based on micro-quantitative sampling blood cards, including Cer (d18:1/16:0), cer (d18:1/18:0), cer (d18:1/24:0) and Cer (d18:1/24:1). In the detection method, the DBS pretreatment sequentially adopts the methods of ultrasonic treatment, grinding and crushing and nitrogen blowing and re-dissolution, so that the pretreatment steps are complicated, the treatment time is long, the required blood quantity of the dried blood spots is large (2 quantitative dried blood spots of 10 mu L are required for one-time measurement), the analysis sensitivity is low, and the purchase cost of the micro quantitative sampling blood sampling card is increased. In addition, in the detection method, methanol water with the volume fraction of less than 50% is adopted for preparing the standard substance solution of the ceramide and preparing the standard curve sample, and the ceramide is insoluble in water and methanol or acetonitrile, so that the detection accuracy is difficult to ensure. Similarly, in another study for quantitative detection of ceramide in DBS [ Chuang W L, pacheco J, zhang K.A Simple, high-Throughput Method for Analysis of Ceramide, glucopyranosyl amide, and Ceramide Trihexoside in Dried Blood Spots by LC/MS/MS [ J ]. Clinical Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Biomolecular Analysis: methods and Protocols,2016:263-272 ], methanol/acetonitrile/water (80:15:5, V/V/V) was used as an extract of ceramide in DBS in the treatment of DBS samples, and it was difficult to efficiently extract ceramide in DBS by shaking and ultrasonic extraction, resulting in low extraction recovery, resulting in inaccurate concentration detection. Most current studies have focused on four ceramide studies, cer (d18:1/16:0), cer (d18:1/18:0), cer (d18:1/24:0) and Cer (d18:1/24:1), and several lipidomic studies have reported that there may be a close association between other ceramides and disease [ Zheng W, kollmeyer J, symolon H, et al Ceramides and other bioactive sphingolipid backbones in health and disease: lipidomic analysis, metabolism and roles in membrane structure, dynamic, signaling and autophagy [ J ]. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) -Biomembranes,2006,1758 (12): 1864-1884 ].
In view of the foregoing, a method for determining ceramide in human dry blood spots, which has high specificity, high accuracy, simple and convenient operation, short determination time, comprehensive determination types and low detection cost, is needed to help to improve the quality of clinical detection of ceramide, and can more comprehensively analyze dynamic changes of ceramide, is a focus of research in the field.
