Problems solved by technology

[0002] The main function of elastase is to hydrolyze extracellular elastin, so that immune cells can quickly reach the inflammatory site to remove pathogens, but if the elastase activity is too high, it will cause a series of lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including emphysema , chronic bronchitis and asthma can also cause pulmonary vesicle fibrosis and gradually fail the respiratory function. In addition, too much elastin will also hydrolyze immune proteins, which will reduce the body's immune ability and cause lung cancer
[0003] The current probes used to detect elastase activity are mainly through its ultraviolet substrate NMeOSuc-AAPV-pNA, fluorescent substrate NMeOSuc-AAPV-AMC, and small molecule fluorescent probes based on coumarin. There are also FRET probes based on fluorescent proteins or polypeptide substrates, but these probes have certain limitations in application. The first is the detection limit. The activity of elastase in liquid is often very low and difficult to be detected. In addition, these probes are almost difficult to be applied to cells or even in vivo levels, so the application is limited, so the development of high sensitivity and can be applied to cells and in vivo levels The probe is very necessary

Embodiment approach

[0032] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the elastase is neutrophil elastase (a serine proteolytic enzyme secreted by neutrophils), and the amino acid sequence of the elastase-specific polypeptide is preferably as SEQ ID No: 1 (QPMAVVQSVPQK), the rhodamine derivative is preferably sulforhodamine B. Such as figure 1 As shown, the semiconductor quantum dot forms an amide bond connection with the amino group of glutamine (Q) at the 5' end of SEQ ID No: 1 through its own carboxyl group, and the 4th sulfonic acid group of sulforhodamine B is connected with SEQ ID No: 1. The amino group of lysine (K) at the 3' end of ID No: 1 forms a sulfonamide linkage. In this preferred case, the quantum dot fluorescent probe has extremely high specificity and sensitivity to elastase.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of activity detection of elastinase, in particular to a quantum dot fluorescence probe, a preparation method and application thereof, and a method and a kit for detecting activity of elastinase. The quantum dot fluorescence probe comprises a semiconductor quantum dot of a nucleus-shell structure, a Rhodamine derivative and an elastinase specific polypeptide connected between the semiconductor quantum dot and the Rhodamine derivative; and the semiconductor quantum dot takes CdSe as a nucleus and takes ZnS as a shell. The preparation method includes the steps:EDC and NHS make contact with the semiconductor quantum dot so as to activate carboxyl on the surface of the semiconductor quantum dot; a reaction of the activated carboxyl on the surface of the semiconductor quantum dot and amidogen of the proteolytic enzyme specific polypeptide connected with the Rhodamine derivative is obtained to obtain the quantum dot fluorescence probe. When being used for detecting the activity of a proteolytic enzyme, especially the elastinase, the quantum dot fluorescence probe has higher affinity with the proteolytic enzyme, and the effectiveness of detection is higher.
