Description

Small cell lipidomics analysis method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a high-sensitivity and high-flux lipidomics analysis method aiming at a small amount of cells and adopting a microprobe sampling-multichannel chip nano-jet-high resolution mass spectrometry technology.
Background
Metabonomics is the systematic study of the response of metabolites in vivo in a multivariate dynamic state when a living body is subjected to intrinsic gene mutation, pathophysiological change or external environmental stimulus. The cells are basic units of the structure and the function of a living body, and the metabonomics research taking the cells as objects is helpful for revealing the process and the rule of life activities. Conventional metabolomics studies in order to increase the number of quantifiable metabolites in a cell extract, metabolomic analysis is usually performed using a large number of cells (e.g., millions of cells). However, reducing the number of cells required for metabolomics would be advantageous for many studies, such as stem cells, circulating tumor cells, and primary cells obtained from tissues, which are rare and difficult to obtain; on the other hand, if the metabonomics research of a small amount of cells is feasible, a large amount of cells do not need to be cultured, so that the manpower and material resources can be saved, the test period is shortened, the experiment cost is greatly reduced, and the cell biology research is more convenient. Therefore, it is of great interest to develop metabolomic analysis methods for small numbers of cells.
The challenge of small-scale cellular metabolomics analysis is the highly sensitive and high-throughput detection of metabolites. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology has become the mainstream technology of current metabonomics analysis and research due to its characteristics of high sensitivity, strong specificity, diversification, etc. However, LC chromatographic separation prior to mass spectrometric detection is often time consuming and difficult to achieve for high throughput analysis. In addition, conventional electrospray ionization sources (ESI) generally have strong matrix interference and ion suppression effects, and cannot meet the sensitivity requirements of small-amount cell metabolite analysis. On the other hand, the acquisition of a small number of cells in the currently reported small-number cellular metabonomics research still needs to be obtained by constant cell dilution counting, which is very unfavorable for the research of rare cells which are difficult to be cultured on a large scale, and the complicated and time-consuming sample pretreatment steps such as cell lysis, metabolite extraction and the like not only cause the loss of the sample, but also limit the improvement of the analysis flux.
Aiming at the problems existing in the current research of a small amount of cell metabonomics, the invention adopts the microprobe to accurately sample 15-25 cells, and directly adds the spray solvent into the pore plate to extract the lipid without complex sample pretreatment, thereby avoiding the sample loss; the directly-fed nano-liter electrospray ionization source has very high analysis flux while reducing matrix effect and improving detection sensitivity; the high-resolution mass spectrum splicing type segmented scanning mode not only can obviously improve the detection sensitivity, but also can keep higher quality precision, and greatly improves the accuracy of metabolite qualification.

The method has the advantages of accurate cell sampling, no need of sample pretreatment, high sensitivity, high flux and the like.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
(1) drawing a capillary microprobe by using a needle drawing Instrument (P-1000, letter Instrument, Novato, U.S. A.) and fixing the capillary microprobe on a movable slide rail connected with a three-dimensional micromotion operation platform, accurately moving the capillary microprobe to the upper part of a target cell by using a microscope, sucking 15-25 animal cells under the action of negative pressure, and consuming 0.4-0.6min in the sampling process;

Standing the mixed solution at 0-4 deg.C for 0.5-1min to complete lipid extraction;

Deducting the solvent blank, the signal-to-noise ratio is less than 10, and the characteristic ions with the frequency lower than 80% appear in 6-10 times of repetition to obtain a stably existing characteristic ion list, matching the characteristic ion list with accurate m/z in a Lipid Maps database, and setting the mass accuracy to be +/-3 ppm to obtain a qualitative Lipid list;
(5) to a constant cell (1X 10)6-5×106) 1-2mL of lipid extraction solvent was added to the petri dish, which in positive ion mode consisted of chloroform: methanol: isopropanol (1:2:4, v/v/v), with 5mM ammonium formate and 0.2% formic acid as modifiers; the anion mode is chloroform: methanol: isopropanol (2:3:5, v/v/v), with 5mM ammonium acetate as modifier.

The supernatant of the mixed solution after oscillation, standing and centrifugation is the cell lipid extract, which directly enters a high-resolution mass spectrum for analysis through an automatic sample injector of a multichannel chip nano-spray ion source, and the first-stage mass spectrum information is acquired by adopting a spliced segmented scanning mode. The samples were analyzed 6-10 times in duplicate, operating under the same conditions as in (3).
(6) And (3) deriving the primary mass spectrum data of the step (5) by using Xcalibur software, and performing peak matching on the data to obtain a characteristic ion total peak table containing m/z and peak intensity.

The operating conditions were as follows:
firstly, the conditions of the multi-channel chip nano-spray ion source are the same as those of the multi-channel chip nano-spray ion source (3);
(ii) high-resolution combined quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry conditions: the temperature of the ion transmission tube is 275 ℃; the resolution is 120K; the injection time is 200 ms; dynamic gain control of 5e5The isolation window is 0.4 m/z; collision energy is 10eV, 20eV, 25eV, 30eV, 40 eV;
and (3) checking characteristic ions, neutral loss and/or fatty acyl ion fragments in the secondary mass spectrogram one by one, and carrying out detailed structure annotation on the lipid, thereby obtaining a constant cell lipid database comprising MS and/or MS/MS information. Lipids with fragment information were characterized using MS, MS/MS; otherwise, characterisation was performed with MS only.
