Description

Cell Raman flow spectrum imaging analysis system and analysis method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cell Raman recognition and analysis, in particular to a cell Raman flow spectrum imaging analysis system and an analysis method.
Background
The cell is a basic unit for life, and mainly comprises protein, lipid, nucleic acid and other molecules, wherein the molecular components and contents of different cells and different development stages of the same cells are different, for example, metabolic differences usually exist in the process of canceration of the cells, the cell development stages are different, and the types of the cell surface expressed proteins are different, so that the differentiation and separation of different types of cells can be realized. Single cell analysis has important application value in the related fields of life sciences, medicine and the like such as current cancer diagnosis, accurate medical treatment and the like, and the premise of the application is to identify and sort special cells in a near lossless manner. In the current cell analysis field, the most widely applied is a flow cytometer based on fluorescent markers, different fluorescent molecules are marked on cell surface proteins, and the expression condition of the cell surface proteins is obtained by rapidly detecting fluorescent signals with different wavelengths, so that cell identification is realized, and meanwhile, a high-speed camera is added in the current flow cytometer for obtaining cell image information, and cell classification is assisted according to the external contour form of cells. After accurate cell classification is realized, specific cell separation is realized by combining related technologies such as micro-fluidic control and the like, and target cells are obtained for subsequent culture and research.
The current flow cytometry analysis method based on fluorescent markers is limited by the types of marker molecules, only information of limited dimensions of cells can be obtained, such as the expression condition of antigen proteins on the surfaces of the cells, the current general flow cytometry analysis based on fluorescent markers can not obtain image information of molecular distribution inside the cells, as for the increase of the acquisition of cell images based on a high-speed camera in a flow cytometry, the information obtained based on the high-speed camera is only information of the outline of the cells under the condition that the cells are transparent and marker molecules are not added, the information of fine structures inside the cells and the information of the molecules of the cells can not be provided, and the detection flux is limited by the shooting speed of the high-speed camera. Furthermore, the use of fluorescent-labeled antibodies increases the cost of detection and complexity of pretreatment of the detection, and the introduction of fluorescent labels may interfere with the subsequent analysis process. Finally, whether the method is an imaging method or a surface antigen immune labeling-based method, the inherent molecular mechanism of the cell phenotype difference source can not be reflected while the cell phenotype information is obtained, and it is difficult to accurately obtain key information required by accurate treatment such as whether cancer cells have chemotherapy resistance or not while diagnosis is carried out, so that the subsequent treatment effect is influenced.
The Raman spectrum is a molecular scattering spectrum, is derived from inelastic collision of molecules and photons, is a molecular information carrier, has the advantages of no label and nondestructive detection, and can realize different cell characterization based on the chemical bond vibration spectrum of biomolecules and the spatial distribution of the chemical bond vibration spectrum. Raman spectroscopy is thus a potential technique to replace fluorescence analysis as a flow cytometry to achieve label-free analysis. Raman flow, which is currently combined with flow cytometry by raman spectroscopy, generally focuses raman excitation light at a point in a microfluidic channel, and when a cell N passes the point, raman scattering of molecules inside the cell is excited, and the raman spectral information of the cell is obtained by performing spectral analysis on the scattered light. However, the method can only acquire the integral raman spectrum information of single cells, can not combine the microscopic morphology and the molecular vibration spectrum information in the cells, and can not acquire the molecular metabolism information of the internal structure of the cells due to the fact that the cells have high heterogeneity and large differences among cell individuals, and therefore the discrimination accuracy is reduced. At present, a single-frequency laser signal is focused on a microfluidic channel by a microscope or a probe to fix a point, and when a cell passes through the point, a Raman spectrum signal is excited, and a spectrometer collects a scattered light signal to realize Raman spectrum analysis. The raman flow type research based on raman spectrum analysis is carried out at home and abroad, and the document Optical guiding-based cell focusing for Raman flow cell cytometer reports a homodromous scattering spontaneous raman flow type cell analyzer developed in india, wherein excitation light is focused on one point in a chip, a spectrometer is positioned on the other side of the chip to collect raman scattering signals, and cells are guided by laser forceps to pass through the excitation light focusing position to obtain single cell raman spectrum information. Document Robust Spontaneous Raman flow cytometry for single-cell metabolic phenome profiling via pDep-DLD-RFC reports that the back scattering type Raman flow cytometry analyzer developed by the national Qingdao energy source is used for collecting and analyzing the reflected Raman signals by the spectrometer, wherein the excitation light and the spectrum analyzer are positioned on the same side of the micro-channel. The method can only acquire one piece of spectral information for a single cell, can not acquire high-resolution cell Raman spectrum image information, and needs to acquire the spectral information through a spectrometer, so that the detection speed and the detection flux are low.
