Paper RNA toehold switch-based reporter assay to assess bacterial uptake of antisense oligomers
Peptide RXR
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration 5 µM (CPP-PNA)
Rna Concentration 5 µM (PNA as CPP-PNA)
Mixing Ratio 1:1 (covalent CPP-PNA)
Formulation Format CPP–PNA conjugate (no linker)
Formulation Components CPP and PNA synthesized on same resin; direct conjugate (no linker); used as antisense activator in bacteria
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 carrying TS7-Mut_9::sfGFP reporter plasmid; MHB medium
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Reporter activation (sfGFP fold upregulation)
Output Value
Output Units
Output Notes CPP conjugated to PNA_toe (11-mer) used to activate TS7-Mut_9::sfGFP toehold switch reporter; fluorescence measured by plate reader / flow cytometry as proxy for cytosolic PNA delivery. KFF, RXR, and ANT showed the strongest activation among screened CPPs in Salmonella.
Toxicity Notes Mild growth retardation reported for RXR and Seq23 CPP-PNA conjugates.
