Description

DNase I/Apt/rGO-based combined multichannel microfluidic chip detection method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of molecular detection, in particular to a DNase I/Apt/rGO-based multi-channel micro-fluidic chip detection method and application.
Background
Hepatocellular carcinoma (Hepatocellular Carcinoma, HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, with its morbidity and mortality rising in the past 10 years. Early diagnosis of HCC includes non-invasive imaging methods, invasive needle biopsies and pathology detection, and detection methods for serological tumor markers such as AFP. Currently, tissue biopsies and pathology examinations are gold standard for diagnosing HCC, which, although highly accurate, are not easily accepted by patients due to their invasive nature. Imaging methods require large-scale equipment and are therefore difficult to popularize in areas where resources are scarce. Compared with the traditional tumor tissue detection technology, the liquid biopsy has the advantages of noninvasive detection, convenient operation, easily obtained samples and the like, becomes a new star for tumor detection, and is applied to early diagnosis of tumors.
In the related technology, serum alpha fetoprotein AFP is the most commonly used serum tumor marker for screening and diagnosing liver cancer at present, and has been widely applied in clinic. However, most liver cancer patients fail to be found at an early stage due to insufficient sensitivity and specificity of the monitoring tool, which highlights the need for more accurate biomarkers to improve early diagnosis of liver cancer. At present, many methods for detecting liver cancer biomarkers, such as enzyme-linked immunoassay, electrochemical method, fluorescence method, surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy, PCR, loop-mediated isothermal amplification and the like, have been developed, however, these methods have low sensitivity, and can only detect single protein biomarkers or nucleic acid biomarkers, and cannot realize simultaneous detection of protein and nucleic acid biomarkers.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to establish a high-specificity and high-sensitivity detection method, which provides accurate judgment basis for clinical diagnosis of HCC patients, and can perform treatment as soon as possible, thereby improving survival rate of patients.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the invention provides a DNase I/Apt/rGO-based combined multichannel microfluidic chip detection method, which is based on a double-signal amplification strategy, can be used for simultaneously detecting the contents of a plurality of target substances in a sample to be detected, can reach 4.5pg/mL for the detection limit of protein target substances, can reach 1.3fM for the detection limit of nucleic acid target substances, and can be used for detecting serum low-concentration markers.
The invention also provides an application of the detection method based on the DNase I/Apt/rGO combined multichannel microfluidic chip in biomarker detection.
The invention provides a DNase I/Apt/rGO-based combined multichannel microfluidic chip detection method, which comprises the following steps of:
s1, adding a sample to be detected into a buffer solution containing fluorogenic group-containing nucleic acid aptamer and biological reduction graphene oxide with a final concentration of 15-30 mug/mL for incubation, then adding deoxyribonuclease with a final concentration of 5-40U/mL for reaction, centrifuging, and collecting supernatant;
s2, detecting the supernatant by adopting a microfluidic chip, and quantifying the concentration of a target detection object in the sample to be detected according to the fluorescent signal intensity;
the detection method is used for non-disease diagnostic purposes.
The detection method provided by the embodiment of the invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
(1) The method develops a high-efficiency detection method based on DNase I/Apt/rGO combined multi-pass microfluidic enrichment chip based on a double-signal amplification strategy, can detect multiple biomarkers simultaneously, and only needs 30 minutes for detecting protein and nucleic acid simultaneously on the same chip. In addition, taking the detection of the hepatocellular carcinoma biomarker as an example, the detection Limits (LOD) of AFP, CEA and miR-21 respectively reach 37.0pg/mL, 4.5pg/mL and 1.3fM by adopting the detection method disclosed by the invention, so that the detection of the serum low-concentration marker of an HCC patient can be satisfied.
(2) According to the detection method, reduced Graphene Oxide (GO) is adopted, so that the Graphene Oxide (GO) is generally considered to be an ideal biocompatible nanomaterial, and has extremely strong distance-dependent fluorescence quenching capacity. GO adsorbs single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) through pi-pi electron stacking interaction, so that fluorescence of FAM labeled DNA can be quenched, stability of single-stranded DNA adsorbed on the surface of the FAM can be protected, and enzyme digestion is prevented. However, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has the property of better quenching single-stranded fluorescent DNA than GO.
In some embodiments of the invention, the sample to be tested comprises whole blood or serum.

Compared with the traditional protein antibody, the Apt has the advantages of high affinity, strong specificity, flexible screening conditions, wide target range, low cost, small molecular weight, easy synthesis and modification, low immunogenicity, good stability and the like.
In the related time, although the detection sensitivity is greatly improved based on the circulatory identification of the Apt, DNase I and the nano material to the target spot, the detection of the ultra-low concentration protein and miRNA in the whole blood is difficult to meet. The invention realizes the detection of ultra-low concentration protein and miRNA in whole blood through reasonable collocation and optimization.
In some embodiments of the invention, the nucleic acid aptamer comprises at least one of Apt-CEA, apt-AFP, and Apt-miR 21.

CEA, although not being a specific index for diagnosing a certain malignant tumor, has important clinical value in the aspects of differential diagnosis, disease monitoring, curative effect evaluation and the like of malignant tumors; micro-RNA (miRNA) is a non-coding RNA containing 18-23 nucleotides, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis, and is a new marker for predicting, diagnosing and monitoring cancer treatment. The detection method based on DNase I/Apt/rGO combined multi-channel microfluidic chip can be used for simultaneously detecting AFP, CEA and miR 21 in serum, can provide accurate judgment basis for clinical diagnosis of HCC patients, realizes early treatment and improves survival rate of the patients.

Detection principle based on DNase I/Apt/rGO combined multichannel microfluidic chip
The detection principle schematic diagram based on DNase I/Apt/rGO combined multi-channel microfluidic chip provided by the invention is shown in figure 1, is based on a dual signal amplification strategy and mainly comprises the following steps:
(1) Taking the detection of lung cell cancer markers as an example, FAM-Apt, DNase I and rGO are realized in the primary signal amplification stage, and FAM-Apt of different targets including CEA, AFP and miR-21 is rapidly adsorbed by rGO through hydrophobic and pi-pi stacking effects, so that significant fluorescence quenching is caused, and in this case, DNase I degradation is limited due to the existence of steric hindrance.
(2) When the target occurs, FAM-Apt on the rGO surface is recognized, and a target-FAM-Apt complex is formed. Subsequently, the complex is released from rGO into solution, resulting in its FAM-Apt fluorescence recovery. In the absence of rGO protection, FAM-Apt is degraded in solution by DNase I into oligonucleotide fragments, releasing the target, the released target binds to another FAM-Apt on the rGO surface, and the FAM molecule remains in solution.
(3) The accumulation of free FAM molecules eventually results from the cyclic dissociation of FAM-Apts on the rGO surface in homogeneous solution. In contrast, unreleased FAM-Apt was retained on the rGO surface and removed by centrifugation. The supernatant containing FAM molecules is then added to the reservoir of the multichannel chip for further enrichment to form secondary signal amplification. Under the application of an electric field, a quantifiable fluorescent band is formed.
In this example, the detection of a marker for lung cell cancer is taken as an example, and the sequence information related thereto is shown in table 1.
Table 1: the invention relates to a sequence information table
(II) preparation of multichannel microfluidic chip
The structure of the multichannel microfluidic chip is shown in figure 2, the chip is provided with three parallel microchannels, each of which is 400 mu m wide and 45 mu m high, each of which is provided with a liquid storage tank, different targets can be detected respectively, and each of which is provided with a single inlet, 3 channels share an outlet, and when lung cell cancer markers are detected, the three inlets on the chip are filled with DNase I degradation supernatant of CEA, AFP and miR-21 respectively. Buffer solution channels are arranged on two sides of the three channels, and after a template with micro channels is prepared on a silicon wafer by using SU-8 photoresist and a standard wet etching process, a PDMS micro-channel chip is prepared by adopting a molding method.
The preparation method of the multichannel microfluidic chip comprises the following steps:
(1) The PDMS gel was easily removed by placing 25mL of trimethylchlorosilane solution with the silicon template in a vacuum pump, silanizing for 1 hour to prevent adhesion.
(2) Repeatedly cleaning the silanized silicon wafer template with isopropanol and ultrapure water, and drying by blowing nitrogen.
(3) And fully mixing PDMS and a curing agent in a volume ratio of 10:1, degassing in a vacuum pump until gas disappears, slowly pouring the mixture on a silicon wafer, curing for 3 hours at 95 ℃, and then stripping the PDMS from the silicon wafer to transfer the microstructure on the silicon wafer to the PDMS with elasticity.
(4) Nafion film was fixed on a glass slide by patterning, the Nafion film having a width of 400 μm and a depth of 45. Mu.m.
(5) Punching holes (with the diameter of 1.5 mm) at the sample inlet and the sample outlet, then placing the PDMS chip and the Nafion film patterning fixed glass slide into a plasma cleaning machine for surface modification treatment, and irreversibly bonding the PDMS chip onto the glass slide, wherein the chip channel and the Nafion film are mutually perpendicular to each other.
(III) optimization based on microfluidic chip detection method
1. DNase I concentration and incubation time optimization
In order to obtain the best detection sensitivity, the concentration of DNase I and the incubation time were optimized in this section, and the selection of (F-F in this section 0 ) The specific optimization method using the/F ratio as the sensitivity index is as follows:
(1) CEA (100 pg/mL) was added to culture buffer (containing 20mM Tris, 100) containing the corresponding FAM-Apt (10 nM) and rGO (20. Mu.g/mL)mM NaCl、5mM MgCl 2 、1mM CaCl 2 pH 7.6), incubated at 37℃for 20min.
(2) DNase I (1U/mL, 2U/mL, 5U/mL, 10U/mL, 20U/mL, and 30U/mL) was added to the above mixture at different final concentrations, respectively, and the final volume of the mixture was 100. Mu.L. After the mixed solution is incubated at 37 ℃ for 5 min-1.5 h, the enzymatic reaction is stopped by heating at 75 ℃ for 15min.
(3) rGO was removed by centrifugation at 13000r/min for 10min and the supernatant was used for chip detection. Before detection, the passivated microchannels were modified with 1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) for 10min to prevent non-specific adhesion, after which the channels were rinsed three times with ultrapure water and filled with 1 x PBS buffer for use. A10. Mu.L pipette tip with the tip cut was inserted into the chip well as a reservoir, and then the electrode was inserted into the reservoir and connected to a DC power supply. In all experiments a dc voltage of 30V was applied.
The results of the assay are shown as A and B in FIG. 3, which show that increasing DNase I concentration and extending degradation time favors the cyclic dissociation of FAM-Apts. As DNase I concentration increased to 20U/mL, (F-F0)/F0 was gradually increased, then decreased at higher concentrations. This is because high concentrations of DNase I replace FAM-Apts on rGO surfaces, resulting in higher background signals. The (F-F0)/F0 value increased with increasing DNase I degradation time, reaching plateau after 60min incubation. Thus, 20U/mL DNase I incubation for 1h was optimally selected as the optimal condition.
2. rGO concentration optimization
In order to obtain the best detection sensitivity, the concentration of rGO is optimized in this section, and the concentration of rGO is selected from the optimization of this section (F-F 0 ) The specific optimization method using the/F ratio as the sensitivity index is as follows:
(1) CEA (100 pg/mL) was added separately to culture buffers (containing 20mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl) containing the corresponding FAM-Apt (10 nM) and varying concentrations of rGO (5. Mu.g/mL, 10. Mu.g/mL, 15. Mu.g/mL, 20. Mu.g/mL, 30. Mu.g/mL) 2 、1mM CaCl 2 pH 7.6), incubated at 37℃for 20min.
(2) DNase I (20U/mL) was added to each of the above mixtures, and the final volume of the mixture was 100. Mu.L. After incubation of the mixed solution at 37℃for 1h, the enzymatic reaction was stopped by heating at 75℃for 15min.
(3) rGO was removed by centrifugation at 13000r/min for 10min and the supernatant was used for chip detection. Before detection, the passivated microchannels were modified with 1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) for 10min to prevent non-specific adhesion, after which the channels were rinsed three times with ultrapure water and filled with 1 x PBS buffer for use. A10. Mu.L pipette tip with the tip cut was inserted into the chip well as a reservoir, and then the electrode was inserted into the reservoir and connected to a DC power supply. In all experiments a dc voltage of 30V was applied.
As shown in FIG. 4, rGO concentration affects background and binding efficiency of target to Apt, (F-F0)/F0 reaches maximum at rGO concentration of 20. Mu.g/mL. Thus, 20. Mu.g/mLrGO was optimally chosen as the optimal condition.
3. Buffer PBS concentration optimization
In order to obtain the best detection sensitivity, the run buffer PBS concentration was optimized in this section, and the concentration of the sample buffer PBS was selected in this section (F-F 0 ) The specific optimization method using the/F ratio as the sensitivity index is as follows:
(1) CEA (100 pg/mL) was added to culture buffers (containing 20mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl) containing the corresponding FAM-Apt (10 nM) and rGO (20. Mu.g/mL), respectively 2 、1mM CaCl 2 pH 7.6), incubated at 37℃for 20min.
(2) DNase I (20U/mL) was added to each of the above mixtures, and the final volume of the mixture was 100. Mu.L. After incubation of the mixed solution at 37℃for 1h, the enzymatic reaction was stopped by heating at 75℃for 15min.
(3) rGO was removed by centrifugation at 13000r/min for 10min and the supernatant was used for chip detection. Before detection, the passivated microchannels were modified with 1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) for 10min to prevent non-specific adhesion, after which the channels were rinsed three times with ultra pure water and each with 4% (v/v) CH 3 Different concentrations of CN in PBS buffer (0.1×,0.5×,1×,1.5×,2×) were filled for use. A10. Mu.L pipette tip with the tip cut was inserted into the chip well as a reservoir, and then the electrode was inserted into the reservoir and connected to a DC power supply. In all experiments a dc voltage of 30V was applied.
The results are shown as a in fig. 5, which shows that the enrichment efficiency increases with increasing concentration of PBS, and that the enrichment efficiency decreases when 1 x PBS reaches a maximum value and exceeds 1 x PBS. This is because too high or too low an ionic strength of the buffer is detrimental to sample enrichment, so 1 XPBS was chosen for further investigation.
4. Optimization of CH in buffer PBS 3 Optimization of CN concentration
CH3CN is often used as an additive for on-line sample pre-concentration, allowing rapid accumulation of nucleic acids by transient pseudo isotachophoresis, and in order to obtain optimal detection sensitivity, the concentration of CH3CN in the run buffer PBS is optimized, and the concentration of CH3CN in this part is selected (F-F 0 ) The specific optimization method using the/F ratio as the sensitivity index is as follows:
(1) CEA (100 pg/mL) was added to culture buffer (containing 20mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl) containing the corresponding FAM-Apt (10 nM) and rGO (20. Mu.g/mL) 2 、1mM CaCl 2 pH 7.6), incubated at 37℃for 20min.
(2) DNase I (20U/mL) was added to each of the above mixtures, and the final volume of the mixture was 100. Mu.L. After incubation of the mixed solution at 37℃for 1h, the enzymatic reaction was stopped by heating at 75℃for 15min.
(3) rGO was removed by centrifugation at 13000r/min for 10min and the supernatant was used for chip detection. Before detection, the passivated microchannels were modified with 1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) for 10min to prevent non-specific adhesion, after which the channels were washed three times with ultra pure water and with different concentrations (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, V/V) of CH, respectively 3 The CN 1 XPBS buffer was filled for use. A10. Mu.L pipette tip with the tip cut was inserted into the chip well as a reservoir, and then the electrode was inserted into the reservoir and connected to a DC power supply. In all experiments a dc voltage of 30V was applied. The optimal CH3CN concentration was determined by comparing the fluorescence intensities of the fluorescent bands on the chip.
As shown in B in FIG. 5, it was revealed that the enrichment efficiency of the microfluidic chip was significantly improved when the CH3CN concentration was 4% (v/v), thus selecting 4% (v/v) CH 3 CN as the optimal concentration.
5. Optimization of Nafion film width and thickness
Triggered by 100pg/mL CEAThe FAM molecules produced by DNase I cycles of (c) were used as the target for optimization validation. The enrichment effect of chips of different width Nafion membranes (100 μm,200 μm, 400 μm, 600 μm and 700 μm) and different thickness Nafion membranes (20 μm,45 μm,100 μm,200 μm) was examined. The buffer solution contains 1 XPBS, pH7.4,4% (V/V) CH 3 CN, dc voltage 30V.
The results, shown as C and D in fig. 5, show that the width and depth of the Nafion membrane have a significant effect on the sensitivity of detection. As the size of the Nafion film increases, the chip enrichment efficiency increases and then decreases, and when the width of the Nafion film is 400 mu m and the depth of the Nafion film is 45 mu m, the chip enrichment efficiency is highest, so that the width of the Nafion film is 400 mu m and the depth of the Nafion film is 45 mu m as the optimal detection conditions.
In summary, the optimization conditions are as follows: incubation for 1h with 20U/mL DNase I, 20. Mu.g/mLrGO, 4% (v/v) CH 3 CN 1 XPBS (pH 7.4), nafion membrane width 400 μm,45 μm deep.
