Paper Peptide Nanoparticle Delivery of Charge-Neutral Splice-Switching Morpholino Oligonucleotides
Peptide STR5
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration Formulated as nanoparticles; DMD model exon 23 skipping in differentiated H2K mdx myotubes (also tested in healthy H2K)
Rna Concentration PMO 1 µM (25-mer DMD ON)
Mixing Ratio peptide:PMO molar ratio 5:1 (screen); ratio series 2:1–7:1 explored for selected peptides
Formulation Format noncovalent lipopeptide/PMO nanoparticles (co-incubation; complex formation)
Formulation Components STR5 + PMO DMD (M23D; exon 23 skipping); 5'-GGCCAAACCTCGGCTTACCTGAAAT-3'
Size Nm 133.00
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells U2OS stable luciferase reporter (BTK intron XLA model); SMA type I fibroblasts GM03813; H2K mdx myotubes + healthy H2K myotubes
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type in vitro splice switching (RT-PCR exon inclusion/skipping; luc reporter splice correction)
Output Value Exon 23 skipping observed by nested RT-PCR; several novel lipopeptides outperformed PF14 in H2K myotubes (notably histidine-rich STR5).
Output Units
Output Notes Serum presence (20% FBS) showed similar exon skipping to serum-free transfection for selected formulations; peptide:PMO ratio affected activity depending on peptide cationicity.
Toxicity Notes Myotube viability (MTS): no toxicity at working concentration (~5 µM peptide). St-RXR4 showed toxicity at 40 µM (without PMO).
