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/CADY PCLEEP nanofiber scaffold supported on PCL film
Output Type fibrous capsule reduction after implantation
Output Value siCOL1A1/CADY significantly reduced fibrous capsule thickness compared with plain PCLEEP at weeks 2 and 4; week 4 reduction was reported as ~50.5% versus PCLEEP.
Output Units
Output Notes Positive in vivo delivery success: local sustained scaffold-mediated peptide/siRNA delivery produced a functional tissue-level phenotype, reduced fibrous capsule formation.
Toxicity Notes No acute or chronic inflammation or necrosis indicative of toxicity was identified for scaffolds at assessed time points.
