Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting rheumatism markers by surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based immunoassay, and more particularly, to a method for detecting rheumatoid-

The present invention relates to a method for detecting a rheumatism marker by immunoassay based on Surface-Enhanced Raman Sacattering (hereinafter referred to as 'SERS').

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease caused by chronic inflammation of the lubricated joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is not healing but it is not difficult to control. The sooner you find out and start the treatment, the more effective it is to slow down or stop the process. The most important factor in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is how to quickly diagnose and start effective treatment. However, some treatments are toxic and expensive, so you should not proceed with the treatment without a definite diagnosis. A variety of serum biomarkers are being used to speed up the diagnostic process and to speed up the diagnostic process to achieve better disease diagnosis and prognosis. Among them, anti-CCP antibody, which is an autoantibody corresponding to cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP), is used as a biomarker most suitable for the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The advantages of anti-CCP antibodies are detectable in sera 10 years before the onset of symptoms, and the specificity is very high, 90-95%, which plays a major role in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the most widely used test method for rheumatoid arthritis. Various kinds of anti-CCP ELISA test kits capable of quantitative analysis of anti-CCP autoantibodies are available (Non-Patent Document 1) . This experiment is based on the affinity of anti-CCP autoantibodies in serum to CCP adsorbed on microplate surface. Recently, a point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis using a lateral-flow immunoassay kit using gold nanoparticles is also possible. This is because the gold nanoparticles flow through capillary force with the sample from the patient's serum, causing color change, which makes diagnosis of the disease even with the naked eye. However, both techniques still have sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility as key issues and require more precise and accurate immunoassays.

Recently, immunoassays based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using functional nanotags have become an emerging alternative to sensitive detection in place of ELISA. This technique is attracting attention because it can detect quickly and sensitively (Non-Patent Document 2).

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) -based detection method is in the spotlight as a high sensitivity analysis method. The polyclonal antibody (PAb) is immobilized on a solid substrate, and then immune-gold nanoparticles with antigen solution and Raman reporter are added successively. The antigen biomarker can be quantitatively analyzed by measuring the intensity change of the characteristic SERS peak of the reporter molecule. When a reporter molecule is adsorbed to a rough metal surface and exposed to excitation light (laser light), electromagnetic and chemical enhancement occurs at the SERS active site of the reporter molecule known as a " hot junction " . This enhancement effect is expected to solve the problem of low sensitivity which is a disadvantage of conventional Raman and fluorescence detection methods.

The most common form of SERS-based immunoassay is to detect immune complexes in the form of sandwiches immobilized on a solid substrate. However, this method has several disadvantages, requiring several washing steps, and time required accordingly. Detection sensitivity is more important for early diagnosis of RA.

Therefore, the present inventors continued their research and developed a method for early diagnosis of RA using Raman spectrum and sandwich immunoassay, thereby completing the present invention.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for detecting a rheumatism marker by SERS-based immunoassay.

The present invention provides a method for detecting rheumatoid marker by SERS-based immunoassay comprising the following steps:

Preparing a sample liquid which is expected to contain an anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody;

Preparing a magnetic particle on which CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) specifically binding to the anti-CCP antibody is immobilized;

Preparing a nanoprobe having a secondary antibody and a Raman reporter molecule bound thereto that specifically bind to the anti-CCP antibody;

Adding the magnetic particles to the sample solution to cause an immune reaction between the CCP of the magnetic particles and the anti-CCP antibody to form a first immunoconjugate;

Adding the nanoprobe to the sample solution in which the first immunocomplex is formed to bind the secondary antibody of the nanoprobe and the anti-CCP antibody on the first immunocomplex to form a sandwich immunoconjugate;

Separating said sandwich immunoconjugate using magnetic force;

Irradiating the separated sandwich immunoconjugate with laser light; And

Measuring the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal after the laser light irradiation to confirm the presence of the autoantibody anti-CCP antibody.

The sample fluid is a sample fluid suspected of containing an autoantibody anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody, and refers to a sample fluid obtained from a patient generally suspected of having rheumatism. If the sample solution contains an anti-CCP autoantibody, it can be confirmed by the SERS signal.

The sample liquid may be selected from the group consisting of tissue extract, cell lysate, whole blood, plasma, serum, saliva, ocular fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat, urine, milk, It is not.

The Raman reporter molecule may be any of those known in the art including, but not limited to, crystal violet (CV), X-rhodamine-5-isothiocyanate (XRITC), or malachite Green isothiocyanate (MGITC).

The Limit of Detection of the anti-CCP antibody may be less than 25 U / ml. It was difficult to detect anti-CCP antibodies having a concentration of 25 U / ml or less when detecting anti-CCP antibodies using a known ELISA kit. However, detection using the method according to the present invention is possible even when the concentration of the anti-CCP antibody is very low.

The time required for detecting the rheumatism marker may be 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Using the method according to the present invention, rheumatoid markers can be detected early.

The term " sandwich immunoconjugate "refers to an immunoconjugate bound through an antibody-antigen-antibody reaction. The term " sandwich immunoconjugate "Quot; means that the anti-CCP antibody, the CCP and the secondary antibody are sandwiched in the center of the CCP antibody.

Magnetic particles (magnetic beads) and nanoprobes (e.g., hollow gold nanospheres) used in the present invention are well known in the art. Specifically. Korean Patent No. 10-0979727 and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0017358 disclose a method for producing hollow gold nanoparticles (HGN) and magnetic particles.

In the present invention, a sandwich-type immune complex containing magnetic particles is fixed to a wall of a container (e.g., a microtube) containing a sample solution using a magnet. The SERS signal of the immune complex is then measured. This technique is able to overcome the slow immune response time problems seen in diffusion-limited solid substrates because reactions take place in the liquid phase. As a result, the analysis time is reduced to within one hour. In addition, the SERS signal measures the average signal of the nanoparticles in the liquid phase, resulting in more reproducible results.

The present inventors confirmed the possibility of early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis through immunoassay of anti-CCP antibody markers using SERS-based magnetic particles. The inventors of the present invention evaluated the feasibility of the present invention through immunoassay of anti-CCP derived from SABS-based rabbit. To this end, the inventors of the present invention conducted experiments on CBS-immobilized magnetic particles and SERS nanoparticles Were prepared. And measured the SERS signal for their complexes. Next, the present inventors applied this SERS-based analysis method to a 'human-derived anti-CCP standard solution'. This standard solution is commercially available as part of an anti-CCP ELISA kit (BlueGene Biotech, Shanghai, China). In order to confirm the experimental results of clinical samples, the results obtained by the above-described analytical methods and the results obtained by the present inventors using BlueGene's anti-CCP kit were compared. The present invention is the first invention in the field of anti-CCP immunoassay based on SERS and suggests a new direction for the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Using the disease marker detection method according to the present invention, rheumatism can be diagnosed early.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to be exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, It is obvious to those skilled in the art that such variations and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Example  1: Experimental method

1-1: anti- CCP  Autoantibody-containing Of the sample liquid  Ready

Rabbit anti-CCP autoantibody was purchased from Bioss, product number bs-1053R. Concentration of this product was prepared by diluting 100 μg / mL solution at high concentration. C, D, E, F (0, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500) contained in the product number E01C0708 Human CCP ELISA kit manufactured by BlueGene was used for human anti- The remaining low concentration solutions were prepared by dilution with the included dilution buffer.

1-2: CCP end Combined  Preparation of magnetic particles

Magnetic particles with CCP (Peptron Inc., Daejeon, South Korea) were prepared by the following method: 500 μL of 300 nM biotinylated CCP (biotin-HQCHQEST-Cit-GRSRGRCGRSGS-COOH, Cys3 and Cys16 Mu] l of 0.5 mg / mL streptavidin-bound magnetic beads (1 [mu] m in size, Dynabeads® MyOne ™, 2.6 kDa, Peptron Inc., Daejeon, South Korea). Invitrogen, Eugene, OR, USA) with streptavidin-biotin. The mixture was allowed to react for 2 hours at room temperature and then unreacted streptavidin was blocked with 500 μL of 300 nM biotin. Unreacted reagents were washed twice with PBS buffer solution.

The CCP antibody used in the present invention was synthesized according to a published sequence (biotin-HQCHQEST-Cit-GRSRGRCGRSGS-COOH, addition of a sulfur bond between Cys3 and Cys16) through a peptone company.

1-3: Metal nano Of the probe  Ready

Secondary antibody conjugation that binds to the anti-CCP antibody attached to the SERS probe HGNs (Hollow gold nanoparticles) was prepared according to the method described in known literature (Lee, S. et al., Biosens. J. Phys. Chem. B 2005, 109 (1987), < RTI ID = 0.0 > , 11083-11087). The secondary antibody used in this example is an anti-human IgG antibody (manufacturer: abcam, product number: ab2410).

Briefly, cobalt nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing CoCl 2 with NaBH 4 under N 2 purging conditions and used as templates for HGNs. 50 μl aliquot 0.1 M HAuCl 4 was added 10 times. Here, the gold atoms were nucleated and grown into a small shell surrounding the cobalt template. When N 2 purging was stopped and the solution was exposed to atmospheric conditions, the cobalt was completely dissolved and the hollow internal structure was formed. At this stage, the color of the solution changed from dark brown to deep blue. The shell thickness could be controlled by changing the concentration of HAuCl 4 . According to the inventors' measurements, the diameter and shell thickness of HGN were about 45 ± 5 nm and 15 ± 3 nm, respectively.

Conjugation of the Raman reporter molecule to the HGNs of the secondary antibody was performed as described in the known literature (Chon, H et al., Anal. Chem. 2009, 81, 3029-3034). The Raman reporter molecule, MGITC (malachite green isothiocyanate, INVIROGEN), was adsorbed on the surface of HGNs. Specifically, 1 [mu] L of 50 nM MGIT was added to 1.0 mL of 0.7 nM HGN colloid. The surface of HGNs was treated with 10 μL of 30 μM poly (ethylene glycol) 2-mercaptoethyl ether acetic acid (PEG linker, Aldrich) for 2 hours at room temperature Was modified. Unreacted reagents were then removed by centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 10 minutes. Next, 1.0 mL PBS buffer (pH 7.4) was added to disperse the HGNs. Carboxy groups on the surface of HGNs reacted with 10 μL of 0.1 μM rabbit anti-IgG (or human anti-IgG), a secondary antibody, for 10 minutes at room temperature. Unreacted succinimidyl groups were then inactivated using 10 μL of 0.01 M ethanolamine for 3 hours. Unreacted reagents were removed by centrifugation at 5,000 rpm for 10 min and the solution was washed twice with PBS buffer.

1-4: SERS  Signal measurement method

A Renishaw 2000 Raman spectrometer (Renishaw, UK) was used with a Melle-Griff He-Ne 632.8 nm laser (Melles Griot He-Ne 632.8 nm laser). The laser output was 15 mW. Raman scattering was collected at a spectral resolution of 4 cm < -1 > using a charge coupled device (CCD) camera. All spectra were calculated on a 520 cm -1 silicon line. To obtain an optical image, an additional CCD camera was attached to the optical microscope. The laser spot on the glass tube was focused using a 20 x objective lens. All Raman spectra were collected over 10 exposure times in the 750-1270 cm -1 area.

Example  2: SERS  Autoimmune Antibody by Immunoassay - CCP  detection

Figure 1 shows the overall flow of quantitative analysis of anti-CCP autoantibody markers via SERS-based immunoassay. First, biotin-immobilized CCP binds to magnetic particles to which streptavidin is immobilized through biotin-streptavidin interaction (FIG. 2 (a)). In order to find the optimum amount of CCP that can bind to magnetic particles in this part, five different concentrations of biotin-immobilized CCP were incubated at 100 ng / mL anti-CCP and secondary antibody immobilized at 40 to 400 nM intervals The optimum concentration of CCP was determined to be 300 nM (Fig. 2 (b)) based on the obtained SERS measurement results.

Secondly, the magnetic particles were added to the sample solution containing the anti-CCP antibody. RF (rheumatoid factor) and BSA (bovine serum albumin) were used as negative controls, which were used to evaluate the selectivity of anti-CCP antibodies. After the anti-CCP autoantibody selectively binds to the surface of the magnetic particle, a sandwich-type immunoconjugate is formed by the SERS nanoprobe immobilized with the secondary antibody. In this section, hollow type gold nanoparticles were used as SERS nanoparticles, enabling a very uniform level of immunoassay. In the case of hollow gold nanoparticles, it is characterized by a hollow structure. This means that the nanoparticles are highly homogeneous and reproducible by local electromagnetic fields that remain inside a number of pinholes. Therefore, these nanoparticles are used as highly reproducible detection tools for the quantitative analysis of immune-specific biomarkers. Where MGITC was used as a Raman labeling molecule.

FIG. 3 shows a step-by-step process for producing a nanoparticle immobilized with a secondary antibody. These nanoparticles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, DLS and UV / VIS spectroscopy. Finally, the sandwich-type anti-CCP immunoconjugate is separated from the solution by a strong attraction between the magnetic particles and the magnet, thereby separating the filtrate from the immune complex. In this procedure, two washing steps were performed using a specific buffer solution. The magnet was removed for SERS measurement and the immune complex was redispersed on the buffer solution.

Example  3: SERS  Selectivity of an immune-based system

To evaluate the selectivity of the SERS-based immunoassay system, the SERS spectra shown in FIG. 4 (a) were measured in a mixture of anti-CCP, RF and BSA based on the same concentration of rabbit. As expected, the strongly enhanced Raman signal was measured only in anti-CCP autoantibodies and mixtures thereof, whereas in the presence of only RF or BSA without anti-CCP autoantibodies in solution, the Raman signal was not measured. As shown in Figure 4 (b) 1617cm - relative to the Raman signal that appears at one shows that the CCP is a combination of only -CCP wherein the magnetic particles are fixed autoantibodies, such SERS-based analysis is also used for selective assessment .

FIG. 5 is a transmission electron microscope measurement result showing a sandwich immunoconjugate when anti-CCP in the range of 10 to 400 ng / mL is introduced. In the presence of anti-CCP autoantibodies, SERS nanoparticles adhere to the surface of the magnetic particles through interaction between anti-IgG immobilized on the hollow gold nanoparticles and anti-CCP immobilized on the surface of the magnetic particles. From these results, it can be seen that, when there is a larger amount of anti-CCP, a larger amount of nanoparticles will be bonded to the surface of the magnetic particle. This transmission electron microscopy image provides strong evidence that a higher amount of sandwich immunoconjugate will form as the concentration of anti-CCP increases.

Example  4: Raman signal intensity according to antibody concentration

Figure 6 according to the concentration of rabbit anti -CCP antibody (a) SERS spectra and (b) 1617cm - shows the relative intensity of Raman signal in the first. The SERS spectrum was measured within the same concentration range as that of the TEM instrument. Here, 1617cm as rabbit anti -CCP increasing the concentration of antibody were increased intensity of the SERS signal of the first. As can be seen in Figure 6 (b), when the concentration of this antibody reached 50 ng / ml, the formation of the immune complexes was almost complete. It is also noteworthy that the intensity of the SERS signal changes even at a low concentration range of 0-100 pg / mL. In other words, it means that highly accurate quantitative evaluation of rabbit anti-CCP antibody can be performed using SERS-based immunoassay. The detection limit for rabbit anti-CCP antibodies is expected to be around 13 pg / mL.

Comparative Example : ELISA  Comparison with Analytical Methods

To evaluate the possibility of applying the SERS-based assay described above to actual clinical trials, we compared it with the commercially available anti-CCP ELISA assay kit (BlueGene Biotech). To compare these two, human anti-CCP antibody samples with 12 different concentrations were prepared. The concentrations of the anti-CCP solutions (0, 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 U / mL) contained in the kit were the standard reagents contained in the kit. . ELISAs were performed for all of these concentrations using the BlueGene kit and the SERS-based assay. Figure 7 compares the results of performing anti-CCP ELISA using these two methods. The method of SERS-based, 1617cm for a quantitative assessment - the SERS signal was observed in the first.

Overall, as can be seen in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the results obtained with the SERS assay were similar to those obtained with the ELISA assay at various concentration ranges. In the low concentration range (0-25 U / mL), more consistent results were obtained using the SERS-based assay than ELISA kits. In other words, using the SERS-based immunoassay method means that a more sensitive quantitative evaluation of human anti-CCP antibodies can be performed. Therefore, this method can be a new method for early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Test Example : Clinical Trial

As shown in FIG. 7, the SERS analysis results were more accurate than the ELISA as a result of comparing the two measurement methods, the SERS method and the ELISA, with a low concentration of anti-CCP (anti-CCP) standard of 0 to 25 U / mL. Based on this, the possibility of using early diagnosis of RA in SERS method will be verified by using actual patient blood. For this, anti-CCP levels of patient blood samples (n = 43) identified as anti-CCP negative were confirmed by SERS analysis. The blood of the patients with the negative anti - CCP selected was first checked by ELISA, and the results were compared with the SERS analysis. The values determined by both methods are shown in Table 1. Differences between SERS and ELISA were assessed by Passing-Boblok analysis. As a result, there was a significant difference between the anti-CCP negative group results performed with the two assays, as in Fig. 8a. This is a very different result from the results of the anti-CCP positive group of 25 U / mL or more, which showed little difference between the two methods. The slope and slope of the 95% confidence interval range of the analytical results were -6.35 ~ 2.52 U / mL and 0.0004 ~ 1.07 U / mL, respectively. This is because the range of the confidence interval is large and the correlation coefficient P = 0.01 is very small. Bland-Altman plot analysis was performed to evaluate the agreement between the two methods. The 95% agreement upper / lower limit between the two methods was as wide as -24.9 ~ 16.4 U / mL. In other words, the correlation was very low in the anti-CCP negative group (n = 43). Were also significantly different from those with high correlation in the anti-CCP positive group (n = 31). To analyze the accuracy of the SERS and ELISA methods, the gold standard method should be used to obtain the true value of the anti-CCP concentration of the blood sample. Among the existing assay methods, There is no way to measure the true value of a sample. Therefore, the accuracy of each method was evaluated by comparing the standard deviation of the two methods instead of the standard method and the comparative method. As shown in FIGS. 8D and 8E, it was confirmed that the standard deviation of the SERS method was much narrower than the ELISA. This confirms that the SERS assay shows a more consistent result than the ELISA in the 25 U / mL low concentration range samples.

Figure pat00001

For early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, the present inventors have developed a novel SERS-based immunoassay which can detect anti-CCP antibodies. Here, magnetic particles immobilized with CCP were used as a substrate capable of capturing anti-CCP antibodies, and hollow gold nanoparticles bound with a secondary antibody were used as markers capable of emitting the SERS signal. The detection limit for rabbit anti-CCP is expected to be about 13 pg / mL. In addition, the detection of human anti-CCP antibodies in a low concentration range demonstrated that SERS-based immunoassay can detect more sensitively than a commonly used ELISA kit. This analysis demonstrates that this technique can be a new way to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis early.
