Description

Anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on PEG-polypeptide conjugate, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical detection, and particularly relates to an anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on a PEG-polypeptide conjugate, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in quantitative detection of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER 2).
Background
Early and accurate diagnosis of cancer has been an important topic in disease treatment, playing a vital role in the life and social development of people. Over the past few years, more and more methods have been used for cancer detection, and in particular some advanced biosensors have attracted considerable attention from researchers. However, under normal operating conditions of the biosensor, biological contamination caused by non-specific protein adsorption is a non-negligible problem, which not only affects the detection response of the biosensor to the target analyte, but also generates false positive or negative signals, causes sensitivity and accuracy degradation, and severely causes malfunction of the biosensor. The problem greatly influences the reliability and stability of the detection of the sensor in a real sample (such as human blood and serum), so that the actual detection of the biosensor in a complex medium is limited, and the application prospect is not wide. Therefore, the development of a sensing interface that is effective against biological attachment and reduces the adsorption of non-specific proteins is a major issue in the construction of an anti-fouling electrochemical immunosensor.
The anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor is a novel sensor developed by combining an anti-pollution material with an electrochemical biological sensing technology, not only maintains the advantages of high sensitivity, good specificity, simple operation, low cost and the like of the electrochemical sensor, but also endows the anti-biomolecule nonspecific adsorption performance due to the introduction of the anti-pollution material.
The non-specific adsorption of the protein on the sensing interface is mainly caused by two large acting forces of hydrophobic action and charge attraction, so that the construction of the pollution-resistant interface with good electric neutrality and hydrophilicity is easy to reduce the electrostatic attraction between the sensing interface and pollutants, and a hydration layer coating interface is formed, thereby effectively preventing the adhesion of the non-specific protein. Zwitterionic materials such as zwitterionic polymers, zwitterionic peptides, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the like have good hydrophilicity and satisfactory electric neutrality, and are ideal interface anti-pollution materials. They are used to construct anti-fouling biosensors and are successfully applied to the detection of biomarkers in complex media. However, an anti-fouling biosensor based on any one of the anti-fouling materials is not completely resistant to the interference of contaminants. Therefore, it remains a challenge and has significant implications to explore the development of biosensors with excellent anti-fouling properties.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of this, the present invention has devised a novel anti-fouling PEG-polypeptide conjugate and constructed a practical electrochemical biosensor.
In addition, the combination of polyethylene glycol and polypeptide or protein can effectively improve the stability and water solubility, and the polyethylene glycol-polypeptide composite material is proved to be an effective anti-pollution material better than pure peptide in human serum. Therefore, the design of the composite anti-pollution material is an effective way for improving the interface anti-pollution performance.
In order to achieve the aim, the invention discloses an anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on a PEG-polypeptide conjugate, which specifically adopts the following technical scheme:
An anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on PEG-polypeptide conjugate uses a glassy carbon electrode as a substrate, and sequentially electrodeposits phytic acid doped 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene and gold nanoparticles, and connects PEG through gold-ammonia bond, and then the polypeptide is coupled by a cross-linking agent; and, in addition, the method comprises the steps of,
The sequence of the polypeptide is Pep: cys Pro Pro Pro Pro Lys Ser GIu SER LYS SER GIu Ser His Leu Thr Val SerPro Trp Tyr;
And, the structural formula of PEG is:
it is important to note that biological contamination caused by non-specific protein adsorption and the like is a serious problem facing electrochemical immunosensors, which greatly affects the reliability and stability of sensor detection in real biological samples (such as human blood and serum), and limits the practical application of the biosensor in complex biological media. The anti-pollution sensor constructed in the invention effectively solves the problem that the biosensor is adsorbed by nonspecific proteins in practical application.
In particular, the design of the composite anti-pollution material is an effective way for improving the interface anti-pollution performance, and the combination of polyethylene glycol and polypeptide or protein can improve the stability and the water solubility, and can effectively solve the adhesion of biomolecules in an actual sample at the interface. According to the invention, by utilizing the strong affinity of amino modified PEG to a gold interface and coupling PEG with polypeptide to synthesize a novel self-assembled molecular structure such as a PEG-polypeptide conjugate, the integrated optimization of functions of two important biomolecules can be realized, and the anti-pollution capability of a single polypeptide is enhanced.
A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an anti-fouling electrochemical immunosensor based on a PEG-polypeptide conjugate as described above.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

It is worth to say that the invention combines the anti-pollution polypeptide and the anti-pollution PEG for the first time, and designs a novel composite anti-pollution material of the PEG-polypeptide conjugate. The anti-pollution polypeptide is neutral in electricity and strong in hydrophilicity, the tetra-amino PEG and the gold interface have strong affinity, a layer of stable and compact film can be formed on the interface, and the effect of well covering the sensing interface to prevent other biomolecules from being adsorbed on the interface is achieved. The PEG-polypeptide conjugates exhibit better anti-fouling properties compared to the polypeptide and PEG alone.

Example 1
The construction process of the anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor is shown in fig. 1:
(1) Electrode pretreatment: before carrying out interface modification, polishing an interface by using alumina powder, and then respectively cleaning the interface by using water, absolute ethyl alcohol and water for 2min under an ultrasonic condition;
(2) Preparation of AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified electrode: immersing the pretreated glassy carbon electrode in a mixed solution containing 0.02M EDOT and 0.02M PA, uniformly dispersing the glassy carbon electrode by ultrasonic treatment, and performing electrodeposition by adopting constant potential of 1.1V at room temperature to synthesize a PEDOT (PA) modified electrode, wherein the potential is 1.1V, and the time is 20s; then, immersing the PEDOT (PA) modified electrode in a 0.5M HAuCl 4 solution containing 0.5M KNO 3, and depositing gold nano particles (AuNPs) for 30s at-0.5V to prepare the AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified electrode;
(3) Preparation of the sensor: the AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified electrode is soaked in PEG solution with the concentration of 2.5 mg.mL -1, the PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) is prepared by connecting through a gold amine bond for 2 hours, the PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) is activated for 1 hour through a cross-linking agent Sulfo-SMCC, and finally the polypeptide solution with the concentration of 0.3 mg.mL -1 is incubated on the activated PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) electrode, and the PEG-polypeptide conjugate is obtained through thiol-amino reaction for 3 hours, namely the electrochemical immunosensor.
Example 2-N
To obtain more excellent sensing performance, we have optimized several important experimental conditions.
First is the optimization of PEG concentration: PEG solutions of different concentrations were prepared, with the current signal increasing with increasing PEG concentration (1.0 mg. ML -1 increasing to 4.0 mg. ML -1). When the concentration is 2.5 mg.mL -1, the current signal is no longer changed with the increase of the concentration, as shown in FIG. 2;
In addition, the concentration of the peptide was optimized for optimal reaction signal. With increasing peptide concentration (0.1 mg.ml -1 to 0.5 mg.ml -1), electrode anti-pollution performance is gradually enhanced, then polypeptide concentration is continuously increased, and anti-pollution performance is weakened, so that 0.3 mg.ml -1 is selected as the optimal modified concentration of polypeptide, at the moment, current signals are in a dynamic balance state and are not changed with the increase of concentration, as shown in fig. 3;
And, the incubation time of the target object is optimized, and the biosensor is incubated with HER2 of 1 mg.mL -1 for different times. Theoretically, as the incubation time increases from 15min to 90min, the current signal will change accordingly. As can be seen from fig. 4, the current signal tends to be dynamically balanced when the incubation time is 60 min. At this time, the biosensor can maximally bind to HER2, thereby improving the detection performance of the biosensor.
In addition, in order to further verify the excellent performance of the anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor prepared by the invention, the inventor also performs the following experiment:
experimental example 1
Characterization of PEDOT (PA), auNPs/PEDOT (PA) and PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified electrodes
In order to more intuitively demonstrate the interface modification process, the morphology of different modified electrodes was characterized by using a scanning electron microscope (fig. 5). As shown in fig. 5A, the formed PEDOT (PA) film exhibits an irregular three-dimensional network structure. After deposition of AuNPs, the spherical AuNPs were uniformly and densely covered on the PEDOT (PA) film as shown in fig. 5B. Next, PEG was immobilized by a self-assembly process of Au-NH 2 bonds. As shown in FIG. 5C, the AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) surface was uniformly covered with PEG, and the surface roughness was lower than that of the AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified electrode.
Experimental example 2
Characterization of polypeptides and PEG-polypeptide conjugates:
As shown in FIG. 6, the electrical properties of the designed polypeptides were studied by calculation with a polypeptide property simulator (panel A) and zeta potential measurement (panel B). The net charge of the designed peptide at ph=7 was almost 0, and the isoelectric point (pI) was calculated to be 7.09 (panel a). Meanwhile, the zeta potential of the designed peptide was very close to 0.0mV (Panel B), consistent with the theoretical calculation result. This indicates that the polypeptide is close to a neutral state.
In addition, the hydrophilicity of the designed polypeptides was tested by testing the contact angle of water in air and the contact angle of oil in water. As shown in FIG. 7, the static contact angles of the different modified electrodes are bare GCE(61.58°±1.93°)、AuNPs/PEDOT(PA)/GCE(42.92°±3.75°)、PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT(PA)/GCE(27.82°±1.63°)、Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT(PA)/GCE(15.83°±2.34°).
From the experimental data, it can be seen that: with the immobilization of the designed peptide fragment, the contact angle was further reduced from (27.82 ° ± 1.63 °) to (15.83 ° ± 2.34 °). The contact angle of the Pep/PEG modified interface is the smallest (15.83+/-2.34 degrees), so that the hydrophilicity of the PEG-polypeptide conjugate modified sensing interface is greatly enhanced.
Subsequently, the contact angle of the different modified electrodes in water was measured using chloroform as the oil phase medium, as shown in fig. 8. And as opposed to the contact angle result of water, the Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified electrode shows obvious repulsive action on chloroform, and the oil contact angle is 128.32 degrees. The contact angle test results show that the Pep/PEG modified electrode has good hydrophilicity and oleophobicity, and experimental data are all in line with the expectations of us.
The strong hydration layer formed on the surface can reduce dirt and reduce the adsorption of nonspecific proteins, thereby improving the sensing performance. Depending on the nature of the PEG and polypeptide, it is believed that the hydrophilicity will be better after the two are combined. To demonstrate this, we performed Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations using OPLSS-AA force fields and MKTOP to parameterize all atoms, such as bond parameters, angle parameters, dihedral angles, etc.
The hydrophilicity of the different molecules was studied using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation (fig. 9). 20 molecules A (Peptide) (FIG. 9A), 20 molecules B (Pep/PEG) (FIG. 9B) and 14069 water molecules were randomly inserted into the simulation box (8.000X8.000X8.000X 3) respectively. From the dynamic equilibrium diagram after the molecular dynamics simulation process, it can be seen that under the same condition, more water molecules are combined at the interface modified by the PEG-polypeptide conjugate, so that a larger hydration layer is formed on the sensing interface, and the anti-pollution performance of the interface is improved.
Furthermore, according to the radial distribution function of water (RDFs) (fig. 9D), the number of water molecules bound to the PEG-polypeptide conjugate increases at (r=0.2 nm), on the other hand also manifests itself as the formation of hydrogen bonds between molecules (fig. 9C). The above results are also in line with our expectations.
Experimental example 3
Characterization of anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on PEG-polypeptide conjugates
(1) Electrochemical characterization of the immunosensor process:
Evaluation of HER2 biosensor by DPV measurement the construction process (fig. 10) shows that the peak current signal of the PEDOT (PA) modified electrode (curve b) is significantly increased compared to the bare GCE (curve a) as seen in fig. 10. This is because PEDOT (PA) exhibits good conductivity on the one hand, and because the three-dimensional network structure of the conductive polymer provides a larger specific surface area, which can further promote electron transfer. After deposition of AuNPs, the peak current signal increases further (curve c) because AuNPs have good conductivity. The peak current at the Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA) modified interface (curve d, curve e) decreased to different extents, respectively, due to the poor conductivity of Pep/PEG. The specific recognition of HER2 at the Pep/PEG modified interface (curve e) results in a further decrease of the current signal, because the insulation and steric effects of the HER2 protein hinder electron transfer.
(2) Immune sensor sensing procedure XPS characterization:
The assembly interface was XPS characterized to further monitor the immunosensor manufacturing process, as shown in fig. 11. The PEDOT (PA) electrode is mainly composed of carbon (C), oxygen (O), sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) elements. After deposition of AuNPs, a distinct gold element (Au) peak appears. After the Pep/PEG was modified to the interface, a new nitrogen (N) peak appeared, indicating that Pep/PEG was successfully immobilized on the electrode surface.
Experimental example 4
Anti-pollution performance test one:
Bare GCE, auNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, pep/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE and Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE were immersed in complex biological medium solutions of different concentrations, and the change of current signal due to adsorption of biomolecules was recorded with A being GCE, B being AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, C being PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, D being Pep/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, and E being Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE). And the change of the current signal is represented by a signal suppression rate = (Δi/I 0)×100%,ΔI=I0-I,I0 and I represent the DPV peak current values before and after the electrode soaking, respectively).
As shown in FIG. 12, the anti-fouling ability of the Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE modified electrode was significantly better than the other interfaces, and this result was related to the sufficient coverage of the interface with the PEG-polypeptide conjugate to give it excellent anti-fouling ability.
As shown in FIG. 13, the signal inhibition rate of Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE after being soaked in 100% human blood is 15.59%, and the anti-fouling performance of the anti-fouling agent is superior to other modified interfaces, which benefits from the synergistic anti-fouling effect of PEG and polypeptide.
Similar results were obtained for non-specific adsorption assays performed in human serum (FIGS. 14, 15) and fetal bovine serum (FIGS. 16, 17), further indicating good anti-fouling ability of the PEG-polypeptide conjugate modified electrode surfaces.
In addition, to ensure the accuracy of the anti-contamination experiments, pep/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE and Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE were immersed in high concentration HER2 (1 ug mL -1) before the experiments were performed, preventing the specific recognition from being affected by HER2 in human serum and human blood.
The long-term anti-fouling performance of the different modified electrodes is shown in FIG. 18 to reflect the practical application capabilities of the developed biosensor. The biosensor still has good anti-pollution performance after being soaked in 20% human serum for 24 hours, and is far superior to other modified interfaces. The excellent anti-pollution performance can ensure that the biosensor can keep good sensing performance in a complex environment, the detection limit is improved, and higher sensitivity is obtained.
Experimental example 5
Anti-pollution performance test II:
Naked GCE, auNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, pep/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE, PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE and Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE were incubated in PBS buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4) containing -1 FITC-BSA for 2h and then fluorescent protein adsorption at the different interfaces was recorded using a fluorescence microscope as shown in FIG. 19.
As can be seen from fig. 19, the adsorption amount of protein at the interface is reflected by the fluorescence signal intensity, the fluorescence intensity of the bare GCE surface (fig. 19A) is strongest, and next to the AuNPs/PEDOT-PA modified interface (fig. 19B), a small amount of green fluorescence is observed on PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE (fig. 19C) and Pep/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE (fig. 19D); and little green fluorescence was observed at the electrode interface modified by Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE (fig. 19E). Experimental results show that the interface co-modified by Pep/PEG has more effective protein adsorption resistance than other interfaces.
Furthermore, as is clear from the above experimental examples 4 to 5, pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE has superior and stable contamination resistance against a single protein even for a truly complex biological sample.
Experimental example 6
Quantitative detection of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER 2):
Under optimal experimental conditions, the sensing performance of the electrochemical biosensor under investigation was measured using DPV. As shown in fig. 20A, the peak DPV current gradually decreases with the change in HER2 concentration from 1 pg-mL -1 to 1 ug-mL -1 due to steric hindrance caused by specific recognition and insulation of the target molecule. There is a good linear relationship between the logarithm of HER2 concentration and the DPV current change (Δi), and the results are shown in fig. 20B below. The detection limit of the biosensor is calculated to be 0.443 pg.mL -1 (S/N=3), and the biosensor has good sensing performance.
To measure the potential value of HER2 biosensors in practical applications, we collected actual serum samples from 5 breast cancer patients and analyzed using our biosensors and commercial ELISA methods. As shown in fig. 21, the experimental results obtained by the two methods are consistent, and the variation range of the relative standard deviation (1.95% -9.09%) is satisfactory. These results indicate that the biosensor constructed based on the PEG-polypeptide conjugate has good capability of resisting non-specific protein adsorption and has great practical application potential.
Experimental example 7
Stability of anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on PEG-polypeptide conjugate
The stability of the biosensor (Pep/PEG/AuNPs/PEDOT (PA)/GCE) was measured by continuous CV scanning in the formulated PBS solution. As shown in fig. 22, even after 100 cycles of CV scan, the peak signal and potential of the CV curve did not change significantly. Meanwhile, the current signal of the sensor was detected at intervals within fifteen days, and the signal retention rate was still greater than 90% (fig. 23).
Experimental example 8
Selectivity of anti-pollution electrochemical immunosensor based on PEG-polypeptide conjugate
In actual detection, there are some interfering proteins that coexist with the target (HER 2), such as IgM, igG, AFP, CA and CEA. The specificity of HER2 biosensor was measured by DPV and the response signals of the biosensor to the target and interferents were recorded as shown in fig. 24. Even though the target concentration is one percent of the interfering concentration, the constructed biosensor still has a superior signal response to HER2, indicating that the biosensor has good selectivity.
