Peptide iRGD
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
Rna Concentration Typically 200 nM siRNA + 200 nM miRNA (+ ICG 1–3 µg/mL); some assays 300–400 nM
Mixing Ratio siRNA:miRNA=1:1 (w/w); MSN:RNAs=30:1 (w/w); lipids:MSN=2:1 (w/w); fixed ICG:RNA = 1 µg/mL : 200 nM (per RNA)
Formulation Format iRGD-modified lipid-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticle (iMSN) with ICG photosensitizer
Formulation Components NH2-MSN core (100–200 nm, 4 nm pores) adsorbing siRNA+miRNA; ICG loaded; lipid coat SPC/DSPE-mPEG/DSPE-PEG-DBCO (2:2:1 w/w/w); iRGD (azido) click-conjugated (DSPE-PEG-DBCO:iRGD 1:1 molar)
Size Nm 100.00
Zeta Mv -19.00
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro (2D cell culture + 3D tumor spheroids)
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells MDA-MB-231 (incl. Gal8-YFP), MDA-MB-231.Luc, B16F10.Luc; 3D MDA-MB-231 spheroids
Animal Model
Administration Route Incubation with nanoparticles; 808 nm laser irradiation (typically 30 s after ~4 h incubation) for endosomal escape
Output Type in vitro gene knockdown + functional effects
Output Value Plk1 and ZEB1 mRNA downregulated (qRT-PCR) with light; luciferase knockdown reported; cell killing/migration inhibition shown
Output Units
Output Notes Endosomal escape demonstrated by Lysotracker colocalization decrease and Gal8 recruitment upon light-triggered ROS from ICG; uptake/penetration shown by confocal + flow cytometry in 3D spheroids (highest FAM/ICG double-positive with iMSN).
Toxicity Notes Dose-dependent cytotoxicity with light; no standalone severe toxicity reported in vitro beyond treatment effects
