This application is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT/CN2018/090871 filed on Jun. 12, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present application relates to a field of medical biological detection, in particular to a fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, preparation method therefor, and use thereof.
A fluorescently labeled technology refers to a technology for labeling a substance capable of emitting fluorescence by a covalent bond or physical adsorption on a certain group of the studied molecule, using its fluorescence characteristics to reflect the information of the studied subject. The fluorescently labeled reagent adsorbs or covalently binds to the studied subject such as polysaccharide, nucleic acid, protein and polypeptide, thus its fluorescence characteristics are changed, reflecting the information of the performance of the studied subject. With continuous developments of modern medicine and biological technology, discovery of new fluorescently labeled dyes and use of various advanced fluorescence detection technologies and instruments, such as flow cytometer (FCM), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), the fluorescently labeled technology, as a non-radioactive labeling technology, has the characteristics of simple operation, high stability, high sensitivity and good selectivity, and may be widely used in intracellular and extracellular substance detection, tissues' and live animal's marker imaging, drug analysis, pathological model research and early diagnosis of diseases, etc., playing an important role in the field of biomedical research.
A polysaccharide is a sugar chain formed by dehydration polymerization of a plurality of monosaccharide molecules and linking by glycosidic bonds. The polysaccharide is an important biopolymer that has the function of storing energy and composing structure in living things. In recent years, with the continuous development of sugar chemistry and sugar biology, polysaccharides derived from various traditional Chinese medicines such as plants, marine organisms and fungi have emerged as an important type of biologically active natural products. It has been found from a large number of studies that polysaccharides derived from Chinese medicine participate in and mediate the regulation of various life activities in cells, and have biological activities such as antitumor activity, antibacterial activity, immune regulation activity, hypoglycemic activity, antiviral activity, antioxidation activity, hypolipidemic activity, anticoagulant activity, antihypoxia activity, antiaging activity, and has little toxic side effects on the body. Therefore, the detection of polysaccharides is of great significance for the research and development of carbohydrate-based drugs. Fluorescence detection is widely used in polysaccharide detection because of its advantages such as high sensitivity, good selectivity, wide dynamic response range, and in-vivo detection. Since the polysaccharide itself lacks luminophore and fluorophore, in the fluorescence detection of the polysaccharide, it is necessary to bind the fluorescent substance to the reducing terminus of the polysaccharide. The qualitative and quantitative study of the polysaccharide is realized by detecting the fluorescent substance.
At present, there are many commercially available fluorescent dyes, which have a widely distributed spectral range covering from blue to red, and can be directly available in the market. However, the existing fluorescent dyes also have many problems, for example, the fluorescent dyes have a Stokes shift generally not exceeding nm, are easily quenched, have unstable signals, and are difficult to achieve distinction of different fluorescent signals, which limits the fluorescence detection of sugar molecules.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the defects in the prior art that the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide has a small Stoke shift and an unstable fluorescence signal, and is difficult to effectively distinguish different fluorescent signals.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, wherein the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide is formed by covalently coupling a polysaccharide to a fluorescent dye having a structure represented by the formula (I):
Optionally, in the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, the polysaccharide is activated by cyanogen bromide, hydroxyl of the polysaccharide binds to cyano, and the cyano binds to amino of the fluorescent dye.
Optionally, in the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, X is Br.
Optionally, in the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, the fluorescent dye has a structure represented by formulas B to G:
Optionally, in the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, the polysaccharide is selected from at least one of glucan, chitosan, pectic polysaccharide, grifola frondosa polysaccharide, ganoderan, lentinan and spriulina polysaccharide.
The present application also provides a method of preparing the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, comprising the steps of:
Optionally, in the step (1) of the method of preparing the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, the reaction is carried out under the condition of pH>10; and/or, the reaction time is controlled for 5-10 minutes.
Optionally, in the step (2) of the method of preparing the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide, the borax solution has a concentration of about 0.2 M, the borax solution and the polysaccharide have a ratio of (0.1-1):1 (mL:mg).
The present application further provides use of a fluorescently labeled polysaccharide for the preparation of a fluorescent probe.
The above technical solutions of the present application have the following advantages.
Since the fluorescent dye represented by formula I has a large Stokes shift, the emission wavelength and the excitation wavelength of the fluorescent dye molecule are further separated from each other, so that the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide has advantages of a good fluorescence stability, a high fluorescence quantum yield and a high signal-to-noise ratio of imaging results when used for fluorescence detection. In addition, the long Stokes position is advantageous for increasing the discrimination among different fluorescent dye molecules, and is suitable for multiple fluorescence detection, thereby facilitating the detection of a plurality of types of polysaccharide molecules labeled by different fluorescence. Moreover, the fluorescently labeled polysaccharide provided by the present application is suitable for use as a liquid phase chip probe for detecting the saccharide molecules inside and outside organisms, and increases the detection objects of the liquid phase chip and the types of fluorescently labeled probe.
