The present invention relates to the field of biological technologies, and particularly to an oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker, and a preparation method and use thereof.
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a glycosaminoglycan, which participates in many biological functions such as cartilage regeneration, inflammatory reaction, development of the nervous system, and damage repair, and also in various vital activities, such as the growth, differentiation, and aging of cells, immune response and canceration, etc. It is closely related to human health and diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the molecular structure and mechanism of action of oligosaccharides. In recent years, great progress has been made in the study of an oligosaccharide as an active ingredient or biomaterial. However, due to the seriously insufficient study on the pharmacokinetics of oligosaccharides, the further development and use of oligosaccharides as an active drug and biomaterial are limited. Up to now, fluorescent labeling of oligosaccharides has become one of the most promising methods for tracking oligosaccharides in vivo, aiming at detecting and identifying oligosaccharides, monitoring their metabolism in the body, tracking their distribution in cells and studying the biological activities of endogenous and synthetic glycolipids.
Fluorescent labeling of oligosaccharides shows the advantages of high sensitivity, visualization, and high intensity of detected signals, is used to study the metabolism and localization of labeled molecules in organisms and the interaction with cells, peptides and proteins, and is expected to become an effective way to study the principle and mechanism of action of saccharides. At present, this technology is widely used in the analysis and detection of nucleic acids and proteins, and has become a highly sensitive tool for the analysis and localization of biological macromolecules in biological research.
Currently, the commonly used derivatizing reagents for oligosaccharide-fluorescent markers include 2-aminoacridone (AMAC), and 2-aminopyridine (2-PA), etc. However, due to the limitation by quantum yield and fluorescence intensity, these derivatizing labeling reagents are only used for the separation and analysis of saccharides in chromatography, and cannot be used in research by microscopic fluorescence imaging.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to overcome the problem existing in the prior art that oligosaccharides lack a fluorescent group and cannot be traced in vivo and overcome the influence of the labeling process on the biological activity of oligosaccharides.
To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker, and a preparation method and use thereof. According to the present invention, a synthesized fluorescent agent containing an amino group is used as a fluorescent reagent, which undergoes a reductive amination reaction by the amino group with an aldehyde group or ketone group at a reducing end of an oligosaccharide, so that the fluorescence labeling of the oligosaccharide is realized without affecting the activity of the oligosaccharide. A first object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker, which includes the following steps: reacting an oligosaccharide with a fluorescent agent in a solvent in the presence of a reducing agent to obtain the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the oligosaccharide has a structure shown below:
in which R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from —OH or —SO3H, and n is an integer from 0 to 3.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the fluorescent agent is selected from the group consisting of 7-diethylamino-3-(4-aminophenyl)coumarin, phenanthroimidazole, 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalimide, 1-aminopyrene and any combination thereof.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker has a structure shown below:
in which R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from —OH or —SO3H, and n is an integer from 0 to 3.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the reducing agent is selected from the group consisting of 2-methylpyridine borane, sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride and any combination thereof.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the solvent is acetic and an organic solvent; and the organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethyl formamide and any combination thereof.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction temperature is 40-80° C., and the reaction time is 2-10 hrs.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of the fluorescent agent, the oligosaccharide and the reducing agent is 0.5-4:1:0.5-4.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes a step of separating the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker from the reaction solution. The step includes specifically: centrifugation, extraction with dichloromethane to obtain an aqueous phase, repeated water addition to and rotary evaporation of the aqueous phase, and then freeze-drying.
A second object of the present invention is to provide an oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker prepared by the method as described above.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker can be prepared into a nano-material, which has no cytotoxicity when the concentration is 0.25-1.00 mg/mL when used in cell compatibility analysis. A second object of the present invention is to provide use of the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker in the microscopic imaging and analysis of cells, where the concentration of the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker is 1-50 μM during use.
Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
(1) According to the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker of the present invention, an amino group in the fluorescent agent is subjected to a condensation reaction with a hemiacetal group at a reducing end of the oligosaccharide, to form an imine or Schiff base, and then the imine or Schiff base is reduced into a relatively stable secondary amine by using the reducing agent. In this way, the end of the oligosaccharide is fluorescently marked. The fluorescent group marked at the end has small influence on the biological activity of the oligosaccharide, and the marker has higher fluorescence intensity and is stable under physiological conditions.
(2) The oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker provided in the present invention is basically non-toxic to cells. Since the mechanism of action of chondroitin sulfate in different sulfation modes on nerve cells is not clear, the oligosaccharide is fluorescently labeled, to detect, track and visualize the oligosaccharide in oligodendrocyte precursor cells and astrocytes. Moreover, the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker can be selectively taken by oligodendrocyte precursor cells, so that the oligosaccharide-fluorescent marker is suitable for use in imaging and analysis under a microscope.

The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention; however, the present invention is not limited thereto.
In the present invention, unless otherwise indicated, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are all-OH and n is 0 in the target compounds.
