One-step fluorescence derivatization method for reducing sugar and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and sugar biology analysis and detection, and relates to a fluorescent labeling method of reducing sugar and application thereof in fluorescence, mass spectrum and microscopic imaging research.
Background
The reducing sugar not only serves as an energy source and a structural component of an organism, but also plays an extremely important role in cell biological functions, such as participating in the growth and differentiation, development, cell recognition and signal transduction, immune response and other life processes of cells. Many studies show that the abnormal expression of sugar chains is closely related to the occurrence and development of several malignant diseases such as tumors, but the research on the action mechanism and pathogenic mechanism of reducing saccharides is still in the research stage, so the development of fluorescent labeling technology for the analysis and detection of saccharides and the research on structure-activity relationship is very important.
The fluorescence labeling technology has the advantages of high sensitivity, quick response, visualization and the like, is an important technology for researching the metabolism and positioning of target molecules in a body and the interaction between the target molecules and cells, proteins and the like, and is expected to provide an effective way for researching the action mechanism of saccharides. The technology is widely applied to the analysis and detection research of nucleic acid and protein, and becomes an indispensable tool for high-sensitivity analysis and detection of biomacromolecules.
However, because the functional sugar substances in the nature have complex structures, low expression level and no template guidance for synthesis, no complete fluorescence labeling technology for the fluorescence labeling of the sugar substances exists at present.
At present, the fluorescent labeling of saccharides is mainly performed based on chemical derivatization, and the existing fluorescent labeling technologies for saccharides have the following two types:
labeling directly at the reducing end: commonly used derivatization labeling reagents are 2-aminopyridine, 2-aminobenzoic acid, carbazole-9-ethoxycarbohydrazide, 2-aminoacridone, 1-aminopyrene-1, 3, 6-trisulfonic acid, 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole, etc., mainly based on reductive amination. However, the above-mentioned derivatized labeling reagents are commonly used for chromatographic separation analysis of saccharide molecules, and microscopic fluorescence imaging studies of saccharide substances have not been achieved.
Labeling with a fluorescent labeling reagent with high fluorescence intensity: in order to improve the quantum yield and the fluorescence intensity of a fluorescence labeling product, a fluorescence labeling reagent with high fluorescence intensity commonly used in proteomics, such as fluorescamine (fluorescamine), Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC) and other fluorescence reagents, is selected to label saccharide substances.
When the polysaccharide is marked by the fluorescamine, hydroxyl (-OH) of the polysaccharide needs to be activated by cyanogen bromide (CNBr), and then the fluorescamine is added, wherein most of the marked polysaccharide-OH groups are damaged, and the natural structure of the polysaccharide is damaged to a certain extent, so that the biological activity of the polysaccharide is greatly influenced.
When the carbohydrate is labeled by using FITC, a free amino group is connected to the tail end of a sugar chain through a reductive amination reaction and then reacts with a protein fluorescent reagent FITC.
Therefore, a derivatization method which is mild in conditions and can simultaneously detect neutral sugar chains and acidic sugar chains is found, and the method has important significance for analysis and detection of reducing sugar chains and research of functional mechanisms. Based on the method, the invention develops a novel fluorescent derivation method of reducing sugar and application of the novel fluorescent derivation method to microscopic imaging detection of sugar molecules in cells.
