Description

Small-cell lipidomic analysis method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a high-sensitivity high-flux lipidomic analysis method adopting a microprobe sampling-multichannel chip nano-spraying-high-resolution mass spectrometry technology for a small number of cells.
Background
Metabonomics is the systematic study of the response of a living organism to multiple dynamic metabolites in the body when subjected to intrinsic genetic mutations, pathophysiological changes, or external environmental stimuli. The cell is a basic unit of the structure and the function of a living body, and the metabonomics research taking the cell as a target is helpful for revealing the process and the rule of the life activity. Traditional metabonomics studies to increase the number of quantifiable metabolites in cell extracts, metabonomic analysis is typically performed using a large number of cells (e.g., millions of cells). However, reducing the number of cells required for metabonomics would be beneficial for many studies, such as the rarity and difficulty in obtaining stem cells, circulating tumor cells, and primary cells obtained from tissue; on the other hand, if the metabonomics research of a small number of cells is feasible, a large number of cells do not need to be cultured, so that the manpower and material resources can be saved, the test period can be shortened, the test cost can be greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the cell biology research is more convenient. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop a metabonomic analysis method for a small number of cells.
The challenge of small numbers of cell metabonomics analysis is the high sensitivity and high throughput detection of metabolites. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology has become the mainstream technology of the current metabonomics analysis research due to the characteristics of high sensitivity, strong specificity, diversity and the like. However, LC chromatographic separation prior to mass spectrometry is often time consuming and high throughput analysis is difficult to achieve. In addition, conventional electrospray ionization sources (ESI) generally have strong matrix interference and ion suppression effects, and cannot meet the sensitivity requirements of small amounts of cellular metabolite analysis. On the other hand, the acquisition of a small amount of cells in the reported research of a small amount of cell metabonomics still needs to be obtained from dilution and counting of constant cells, which is very unfavorable for the research of rare cells which are difficult to culture on a large scale, and complicated and time-consuming sample pretreatment steps such as cell lysis, metabolite extraction and the like can not only cause the loss of samples, but also limit the improvement of analysis flux.
Aiming at the difficult problem existing in the current research of a small amount of cell metabonomics, the invention adopts the accurate sampling of 15-25 cells by using the microprobe, and the spray solvent is directly added into the pore plate for extracting the lipid, so that the complex sample pretreatment is not needed, and the sample loss is avoided; the nano-liter electrospray ionization source for direct sample injection has high analysis flux while reducing matrix effect and improving detection sensitivity; the adopted high-resolution mass spectrum spliced type segmented scanning mode can not only remarkably improve the detection sensitivity, but also maintain higher quality precision, and greatly improve the accuracy of metabolite qualitative.
