Paper Characterization and evaluation of a peptide-based siRNA delivery system in vitro
Peptide C6M3
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration Complexes prepared at peptide/siRNA molar ratios (MR) 10:1–40:1; typical uptake imaging MR20; gene silencing MR40.
Rna Concentration 100 nM siRNA for uptake and gene silencing assays
Mixing Ratio Peptide:siRNA molar ratio 10:1–40:1 (MR40 used for best knockdown)
Formulation Format Noncovalent peptide/siRNA complexes (polyplex nanoparticles)
Formulation Components C6M3 peptide + siRNA, incubated ~20 min (Opti-MEM for cell work; RNase-free water for physchem)
Size Nm 72.00
Zeta Mv 30.50
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells CHO-K1 (Chinese hamster ovary)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type in vitro uptake + gene knockdown
Output Value Uptake increased with MR; at MR40, higher % Cy3+ cells than Lipofectamine 2000. GAPDH mRNA knockdown ~69% (qRT-PCR) at MR40 (100 nM siRNA).
Output Units
Output Notes Cells treated 4 h in Opti-MEM with complexes, then 48 h in complete medium. Uptake assessed by fluorescence microscopy (Cy3-siRNA localized perinuclear) and flow cytometry after heparin wash.
Toxicity Notes Low cytotoxicity: >90% CHO-K1 viability for C6M3 ± siRNA across MR10–MR40; Lipofectamine 2000 ~57% viability.
