Paper Controlling fibrous capsule formation through long-term down-regulation of collagen type I (COL1A1)
Peptide MPGDNLS cell-penetrating peptide
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration MPG stock 350 uM or CADY stock 370 uM; exact released peptide concentration not reported
Rna Concentration siRNA stock 50 uM; scaffold-mediated delivery used siRNA/CPP volume ratio 1/4; bolus delivery used 20 nM siRNA for comparison
Mixing Ratio siRNA/CPP volume ratio 1/4 for scaffold-mediated experiments; equivalent molar ratio ~1/30 for electrospinning; bolus optimization used 1/60 molar ratio
Formulation Format electrospun PCLEEP nanofiber scaffold encapsulating siRNA/CPP complexes
Formulation Components poly(caprolactone-co-ethyl ethylene phosphate) (PCLEEP) nanofibers; siCOL1A1 complexed non-covalently with CPP; scaffold-mediated sustained release
Size Nm 636.00
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs)
Animal Model
Administration Route cells seeded on siCOL1A1/MPG-encapsulated PCLEEP nanofiber scaffolds
Output Type cellular uptake; COL1A1 mRNA/protein knockdown
Output Value Scaffold-mediated Cy5-ODN uptake was higher than bolus delivery; siCOL1A1/MPG scaffold produced significant COL1A1 knockdown with ~26.7% silencing at day 14.
Output Units
Output Notes Functional in vitro gene silencing is positive, but in vitro activity does not qualify as in vivo delivery success.
Toxicity Notes CPPs induced less cytotoxicity than TKO; no acute toxicity reported for siRNA/CPP nanofibers in vitro.
