Peptide Concentration Carrier stock 1.0 µg/µL; used to form nanocomplexes (NCs) at various N/P ratios
Rna Concentration Typical: 50–100 nM in transfection; 30 nM for DLS/zeta; 100 nM for imaging; 50 nM siEF52 for TGS experiment
Mixing Ratio N/P ratios tested: 1–80 (typical transfection N/P=10; imaging N/P=10; some controls N/P=80)
Formulation Format Electrostatic polymer/siRNA nanocomplexes (NCs), incubated 30 min at 37°C
Formulation Components GLSP (guanidinylated linear polypeptide) + siRNA in water/DEPC water (no additional formulation components)
Size Nm 50.00
Zeta Mv 5.00
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HeLa (uptake/toxicity); HeLa-Luc (siGL4 luciferase knockdown); 293T (siEF52 TGS study; for gPALG100)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type in vitro TGS (nuclear silencing)
Output Value EF1A mRNA reduced ~77% by gPALG100/siEF52; reversed by TSA (0.05 mM) + 5-azaC (4 µM), supporting transcriptional gene silencing (TGS)
Output Units
Output Notes Serum starvation cell-cycle arrest confirmed active nuclear delivery (CLSM).
Toxicity Notes MTT cytotoxicity increased with chain length; GLSPs less toxic than PEI25k; NCs at N/P<10 maintained >80% viability (siRNA=100 nM).
