Paper Liquid Crystalline Nanodispersions Functionalized with Cell-Penetrating Peptides for Topical Deliver
Peptide TAT (HIV-1 Tat 47–57)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect no
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration 0.1 mM (final) for formulations
Rna Concentration 10 µM siRNA in formulations/solutions
Mixing Ratio CPP pre-complexed with siRNA 30 min, then incorporated into nanodispersion; (molar ratio ~10:1 CPP:siRNA)
Formulation Format Hexagonal liquid crystalline nanodispersion (monoolein/oleic acid) with PEI, functionalized with CPP
Formulation Components MO:OA:PEI:aqueous phase (8:2:1:89, w/w/w/w) + Poloxamer 407 (1.5%) in Tris-HCl pH 6.5; PEI 25 kDa; + TAT + siRNA
Size Nm 310.00
Zeta Mv 11.90
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells L929 fibroblasts (24 h uptake study by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type uptake (flow cytometry + fluorescence microscopy)
Output Value ~90% FAM-positive cells for MO:OA:PEI nanodispersions; TAT functionalization increased fluorescence intensity vs no-CPP and vs PNT.
Output Units
Output Notes Uptake measured after 24 h incubation in serum-free medium; samples diluted 1:50 in PBS before addition.
Toxicity Notes MO:OA:PEI nanodispersions showed no significant cytotoxicity vs untreated L929; PEI-only and OAM controls were more toxic.
