Paper Lung Delivery Studies Using siRNA Conjugated to TAT(48-60) and Penetratin Reveal Peptide Induced Red
Peptide Penetratin-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 Penetratin 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, lung distribution, innate immune markers
Output Value 47 ± 9% p38 MAPK mRNA reduction at 6 h; penetratin peptide alone caused 30 ± 7% reduction
Output Units
Output Notes Not counted as delivery success because penetratin peptide alone reduced p38 MAPK mRNA, confounding interpretation of peptide-siRNA-mediated RNAi. Histology showed Cy3-siRNA uptake mainly in macrophages and scattered epithelial cells; penetratin conjugation did not alter the pattern in reported results.
Toxicity Notes Penetratin-siRNA induced innate immune response, with increased TNF-α and IL-12p40 and elevated IFN-α
