Paper Fine Tuning of Core–Shell Structure of Hyaluronic Acid/Cell-Penetrating Peptides/siRNA Nanoparticles
Peptide Penetratin — NPs-3 (HA 200 kDa, high density shell)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration
Rna Concentration
Mixing Ratio CPP/siRNA N/P = 4:1 (complete complexation); HA coated by adsorption to produce NPs-1/NPs-2/NPs-3.
Formulation Format Core–shell nanoparticle (Penetratin/siRNA core; hyaluronic acid shell for NPs)
Formulation Components Core: penetratin-condensed LOX-1 siRNA (NCs). Shell: HA 200 kDa, high density shell; HAase-responsive de-shielding in plaques/macrophage environment.
Size Nm 153.10
Zeta Mv 30.50
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HUVEC injured endothelium (TNF-α stimulated) – THP-1-derived macrophage coculture (transwell); uptake by microscopy + flow cytometry; LOX-1 mRNA knockdown by qRT-PCR at 48 h; foam cell assays (Oil Red O, DiI-oxLDL).
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type In vitro functional RNA effect: LOX-1 mRNA knockdown (qRT-PCR) + reduced foam-cell lipid accumulation
Output Value LOX-1 mRNA reduced vs control; gene-silencing and anti-foam-cell effects increased in order NCs < NPs-1 < NPs-2 < NPs-3 (best).
Output Units
Output Notes HA-coated NCs using 200 kDa HA with higher coating density; best-performing formulation. Uptake of Cy3-siRNA formulations quantified by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy; uptake inhibited by free HA pre-blocking (CD44-mediated).
