Paper Dual-functionalized graphene oxide for enhanced siRNA delivery to breast cancer cells
Peptide R8 (octaarginine)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence yes
Peptide Concentration R8 added at 1 mM during nano-carrier functionalization (preparation step)
Rna Concentration 75 ng cd-siRNA per well (cell death assay); 100 ng FITC-siRNA (uptake/localization assays)
Mixing Ratio N/P = 10 (optimal; complete gel retardation)
Formulation Format non-covalent dual-functionalized rGO nano-carrier complexed with siRNA
Formulation Components rGON-PLPEG-R8 (reduced graphene oxide + PL-PEG amphiphilic polymer + R8 peptide) / siRNA complexes
Size Nm 247.00
Zeta Mv 42.60
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells MCF-7 breast cancer cells
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type cell death / viability (MTS) after cd-siRNA delivery
Output Value ~51 ± 3.1% cell viability vs non-treated (72 h post-transfection)
Output Units
Output Notes R8-coated rGON-PLPEG delivered siRNA with ~82 ± 5.1% internalization efficacy vs HiPerFect (FITC-siRNA assay); confocal showed decreased co-localization with lysosomes over time, consistent with endosomal escape.
Toxicity Notes Nano-carrier alone: viability remained >85% up to 200 µg/mL; HiPerFect reduced viability even without cd-siRNA.
