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 St-ST1 + PMO DMD (M23D; exon 23 skipping); 5'-GGCCAAACCTCGGCTTACCTGAAAT-3'
Size Nm 136.00
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).
