Paper Cell-Penetrating Peptide-Modified Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles Loaded with Rictor siRNA for the Trea
Peptide Octaarginine (R8)
Delivery Success Class yes
In Vivo Flag yes
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration
Rna Concentration
Mixing Ratio Optimum mass ratio siRNA : GO-PEI-PEG-CPP = 1 : 0.5 (gel retardation screen; GO:PEI ratio 1:60–1:100 gives complete binding at 1:0.5).
Formulation Format GO-PEI-PEG-CPP/siRNA nanocomplex (graphene oxide + PEI + PEG + CPP)
Formulation Components Graphene oxide (GO) + polyethyleneimine (PEI, MW 800) + polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW 2000) + CPP R8, loaded with Rictor siRNA-2 (or Cy5-labeled siRNA for uptake).
Size Nm 231.60
Zeta Mv 16.10
Model Scope in_vivo
Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model SCID/nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors (fat pad injection)
Administration Route Intravenous tail vein injection of siRNA formulations (treatment started 2 weeks after inoculation; monitored 18 days)
Output Type In vivo functional RNA delivery: tumor growth suppression + Ki-67 IHC and TUNEL apoptosis in tumor sections
Output Value GO-PEI-PEG-CPP/siRNA significantly represses tumor growth vs GO-PEI-PEG/siRNA and free siRNA; decreases Ki-67 and increases TUNEL apoptosis in tumors; no major body-weight change.
Output Units
Output Notes Demonstrates functional therapeutic effect in vivo consistent with RNA delivery (Rictor targeting) in TNBC xenograft model.
Toxicity Notes Body weight unaffected across groups during 18-day monitoring.
