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 yes
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence medium
In Vitro Functional Effect
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_vivo
Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model Female Sprague-Dawley rat subcutaneous implant model
Administration Route subcutaneous implantation of aligned siCOL1A1/MPG PCLEEP nanofiber scaffold supported on PCL film
Output Type fibrous capsule thickness after implantation
Output Value siCOL1A1/MPG was tested in vivo, but the reported overall effect ranked MPG approximately similar to PCLEEP and below CADY/TKO; no clear significant reduction versus PCLEEP was reported.
Output Units
Output Notes Conservative negative: in vivo testing was performed, but functional in vivo delivery success was not clearly demonstrated for the MPG peptide scaffold.
Toxicity Notes No acute or chronic inflammation or necrosis indicative of toxicity was identified for scaffolds at assessed time points.
