Peptide DEN-K(GALA)-TAT
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect no
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration Peptide/siRNA molar ratios tested 25–125 (uptake); 50–200 for DLS; complexes in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.2, 30 min RT
Rna Concentration 20 nM Alexa488-siRNA (uptake assays); 100 ng siRNA for gel shift
Mixing Ratio Peptide:siRNA molar ratio
Formulation Format Electrostatic peptide/siRNA complex
Formulation Components DEN-K(GALA)-TAT + eGFP siRNA in 20 mM HEPES buffer pH 7.2 (30 min incubation)
Size Nm 101.00
Zeta Mv 44.40
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HeLa cells (uptake) / stable eGFP-HeLa (knockdown comparisons)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Uptake / internalization (confocal microscopy and flow cytometry); functional knockdown not observed
Output Value Lower uptake than lipidic analog; no eGFP knockdown reported for this analog under tested conditions
Output Units
Output Notes Non-lipidic analog showed reduced siRNA-associated fluorescence vs stearylated system; authors state analogs lacking STR or GALA could not mediate eGFP knockdown (data not shown).
Toxicity Notes Low cytotoxicity under assay conditions (∼7% viability loss at 2 µM vector with 20 nM siRNA).
