Paper Vectorization of morpholino oligomers by the (R-Ahx-R)4 peptide allows efficient splicing correction
Peptide (R-Ahx-R)4
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration 0.1–10 µM (splice correction dose-response); 2 µM for uptake imaging/flow; up to 40 µM for PI uptake (membrane permeabilization)
Rna Concentration Equimolar to peptide (covalent CPP–PMO705 conjugate); 0.1–10 µM tested
Mixing Ratio
Formulation Format covalent peptide–PMO conjugate
Formulation Components (R-Ahx-R)4–PMO705 conjugate (steric-blocking antisense morpholino)
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HeLa pLuc705 (splice correction luciferase reporter); CHO-K1 and CHO-pgs745 used for proteoglycan-dependent uptake mechanistic assays
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type splice correction (luciferase) + uptake
Output Value Robust, dose-dependent splice correction; significant luciferase induction from ~0.1 µM up to 10 µM; RT-PCR shows increased correctly spliced mRNA
Output Units
Output Notes Active without chloroquine (endosomolytic agent); chloroquine further enhances activity; microscopy shows puncta with some diffuse signal over time consistent with escape/nuclear access
Toxicity Notes Very low cytotoxicity; no PI uptake (no detectable membrane permeabilization) up to 40 µM; activity retained (reduced) in 10% serum
