Paper Tetrahedral DNA Nanoparticle Vector for Intracellular Delivery of Targeted Peptide Nucleic Acid Anti
Peptide N/A (DNA tetrahedron vector; no peptide carrier)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration
Rna Concentration 0–40 µM PNA4 (as part of PT01); tested with cefotaxime (CTX) 16 mg/L in growth assay
Mixing Ratio Equimolar ssDNA component strands + PNA4 during annealing (assembly buffer: Tris/MgCl2; heat 95°C then rapid cool)
Formulation Format DNA tetrahedron nanoparticle carrying antisense PNA (PT01)
Formulation Components PT01-S1 + PT01-S2 + PT01-S3 + PT01-S4 (ssDNA) + PNA4 (13-mer) self-assembled tetrahedron
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells Escherichia coli field isolate LREC461 (human origin), blaCTX-M-3 plasmid; cefotaxime-resistant
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Antibiotic potentiation (MIC to cefotaxime; growth inhibition threshold O.D.600<0.1 at 18 h)
Output Value 16
Output Units
Output Notes Dose-dependent CTX potentiation observed when PNA4 was carried by PT01; at 40 µM PT01 reduced CTX MIC from 35 mg/L (baseline) to 16 mg/L. PT01 alone showed no growth inhibition.
Toxicity Notes DNA tetrahedron PT01 alone (10–30 µM) showed no significant growth inhibitory effect.
