Paper Liposomes Incorporating Transferrin and Stearic Acid-modified Octa-arginine for siRNA Delivery
Peptide Stearic acid–modified octa-arginine (StA-R8)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration StA-R8:ePC:cholesterol molar ratio 20:35:45 in ethanol; liposomes formed by ethanol injection into HEPES buffer; siRNA complexation 20 min RT.
Rna Concentration Not explicitly stated for functional assay; uptake assays use FAM-siRNA (dose not specified in abstract; typical in vitro).
Mixing Ratio N/P ratio tested 0.5–8; functional/uptake complexes prepared at N/P=6.
Formulation Format CPP-incorporated liposomes complexed with siRNA (lipoplex via electrostatic complexation)
Formulation Components SLP/siRNA: liposomes containing StA-R8 + ePC + cholesterol; siRNA complexed at N/P=6
Size Nm 120.10
Zeta Mv 7.70
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HeLa; HepG2
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type in vitro uptake + gene silencing (protein)
Output Value Survivin protein reduced to 44.1% of untreated control (Western blot, HeLa) after SLP/siRNA treatment.
Output Units
Output Notes Flow cytometry (FAM-siRNA) shows much higher uptake vs naked siRNA in HeLa and HepG2. Western blot: 4 h serum-free incubation with lipoplex then 44 h in 10% FBS before harvest.
Toxicity Notes MTT: SLP showed reduced cytotoxicity vs free StA-R8; cell viability >85% across tested concentrations in HeLa and HepG2.
