加热洗脱硝酸纤维膜上保存的尿蛋白质

Elution of urinary proteins preserved on nitrocellulose membrane with heating

摘要:

用膜保存尿蛋白质对于生物标志物的研发意义重大，从保存尿蛋白质的硝酸纤维膜上洗脱蛋白质的有效性，决定着保存方法被接受的程度和应用的范围。加热洗脱蛋白质的方法，通过提高硝酸纤维膜溶解时的温度等方式；并运用SDS-PAGE和LC-MS/MS分析加热洗脱方法所制备的尿蛋白质样品，将其与强烈涡旋洗脱方法和直接丙酮沉淀方法所制备的尿蛋白质样品比较。结果显示，加热洗脱方法比强烈涡旋洗脱方法获得更多的蛋白质 (P<0.05)，且蛋白质无降解；加热洗脱方法和直接丙酮沉淀方法制备的蛋白质样品，质谱所鉴定到蛋白质重叠率无明显差异 (分别是92.6%、96.8%)，蛋白质丰度CV值<20%的蛋白质占总蛋白质的比例均很高 (分别是85.2%、94.4%)。加热洗脱法具有很好的技术重复性，操作更加高效、简单，有利于用膜保存尿蛋白质方法的推广应用。

Abstract:

The preservation of urinary proteins on a membrane plays a vital role in biomarker research, and the efficient elution of proteins preserved on nitrocellulose membrane (NC membrane) determines the application of this method. During the heating elution procedure, we raised the temperature to reduce the intense vortexing time, and kept gentle rotating while precipitation to prevent nitrocellulose reformation. We also used SDS-PAGE and LC-MS/MS to analyze the urinary proteins prepared by heating elution procedure, intense vortexing elution procedure and acetone precipitation method. There was no degradation of proteins prepared by heating elution procedure. Compared with proteins prepared by heating elution method and acetone precipitation method, the overlapping rates of the proteins was almost the same (92.6% versus 96.8%) and the ratios of CV values (< 20%) of the proteins were both high (85.2% and 94.4%). The heating elution procedure achieved good technical reproducibility, and was much simpler and more efficient than the previous one. It can facilitate the application of the preservation of urinary proteins on membrane.
