Paper A convergent uptake route for peptide- and polymer-based nucleotide delivery systems
Peptide PepFect 6 (PF6)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration not reported (complexed at optimal charge ratio; in vitro, 0.5–1 µg plasmid per well depending on assay)
Rna Concentration 0.5–1 µg pGL3 (per well; 24-well plate)
Mixing Ratio charge ratio (CR) optimized; used for assays (reported as CR in methods/figures)
Formulation Format noncovalent CPP:pDNA complexes
Formulation Components PF6 peptide + pGL3 luciferase plasmid DNA; uptake inhibited by SCARA inhibitors (dextran sulfate, poly I, fucoidin) vs controls
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HeLa cells
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type in vitro reporter expression (luciferase)
Output Value Luciferase expression strongly inhibited/abolished by SCARA inhibitors (Dex/Poly I/Fuc) vs control inhibitors
Output Units
Output Notes Study shows CPP:pDNA complexes are taken up via class A scavenger receptors (SCARA), based on pharmacological inhibition; luciferase measured 24 h after transfection.
