Peptide R8 / octaarginine
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence yes
Peptide Concentration R8 amount varied by positive:negative charge ratio; functional transfection used charge ratio 50:1
Rna Concentration 55 nM anti-miR-21 in functional transfection; 100 nM Cy3-labeled RNA in uptake/association assays
Mixing Ratio +/− charge ratio 50:1 for anti-miR-21/R8 functional experiments; complexation also characterized across ratios
Formulation Format noncovalent peptide/RNA complex
Formulation Components anti-miRNA mixed with acetyl-R8-amide in RNase-free PBS/OPTI-MEM; complexes formed by electrostatic condensation
Size Nm 200.00
Zeta Mv 8.00
Model Scope in_vivo
Model Type in vitro anti-miRNA delivery and migration assay
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells U251 human glioblastoma cells
Animal Model
Administration Route in vitro transfection
Output Type anti-miR-21 functional effect, target-gene de-repression, migration inhibition, uptake/endosomal escape
Output Value PDCD4 and SERPINB5 mRNA increased after anti-miR-21/R8; U251 cell migration inhibited by ~25% versus negative-control anti-miRNA/R8; >50% of cells associated with anti-miRNA/R8; anti-miRNA/R8 endosome escape efficiency reported as ~68%.
Output Units
Output Notes Single-stranded anti-miR-21 was the main functional cargo. Cy3-labeled anti-miRNA and Cy3-labeled/control siRNA were used for uptake/escape and physicochemical comparison; siRNA controls were not curated as separate functional peptide–RNA systems.
Toxicity Notes No significant cytotoxicity reported for anti-miR-21/R8 complexes at the tested concentration; changes were attributed to miRNA inhibition rather than cell death.
