Paper Lung Delivery Studies Using siRNA Conjugated to TAT(48-60) and Penetratin Reveal Peptide Induced Red
Peptide TAT(48-60)-siRNA
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag yes
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration 10 nmol intratracheal dose
Rna Concentration
Mixing Ratio
Formulation Format covalent peptide-siRNA conjugate in PBS
Formulation Components TAT(48-60) CPP + p38 MAPK siRNA sequence C
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vivo
Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model Male BALB/c mice; lung delivery by intratracheal administration
Administration Route intratracheal administration
Output Type p38 MAP kinase mRNA expression and lung distribution
Output Value 20–30% p38 MAPK mRNA reduction; significant only at 12 h
Output Units
Output Notes Not counted as delivery success because TAT peptide alone caused comparable p38 MAPK mRNA reduction at all time points, so the in vivo effect is not clearly siRNA-specific or peptide-mediated RNAi. Cy3-labeled histology showed siRNA localization mainly in macrophages and scattered epithelial cells, with TAT conjugation increasing staining intensity/nuclear staining slightly.
Toxicity Notes No inflammatory cytokine induction reported for TAT-siRNA; no adverse reaction noted
