Paper Transportan-derived cell-penetrating peptide delivers siRNA to inhibit replication of influenza viru
Peptide T9(dR)
Delivery Success Class yes
In Vivo Flag yes
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration 200 µL IV injection; peptide amount not explicitly stated for siNP groups (complexed with 10 or 50 nmol siNP)
Rna Concentration 10 nmol or 50 nmol siNP (IV, tail vein) given 6 h before PR8 challenge
Mixing Ratio 4:1 (T9(dR):siRNA molar; used throughout study)
Formulation Format non-covalent peptide/siRNA nanoparticles (electrostatic complex)
Formulation Components T9(dR) + siNP mixed in PBS; 5% (w/v) glucose in PBS used for IV injections
Size Nm 350.00
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vivo
Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model BALB/c mice (female, 6-week; influenza PR8 H1N1 challenge)
Administration Route intravenous (tail vein) siNP/T9(dR) complex; intranasal PR8 challenge 6 h later
Output Type survival and weight recovery after lethal PR8 challenge
Output Value 100% survival reported for 50 nmol siNP + T9(dR) group
Output Units
Output Notes After IV dosing, mice challenged intranasally with 100× MLD50 PR8. 50 nmol siNP + T9(dR) group survived with weight recovery by ~day 14; 10 nmol showed partial protection (Figure 6; text/abstract).
Toxicity Notes MTT: cell viability not substantially affected at 10 µM; estimated LD50 ~85 µM in 293T; reported low cytotoxicity vs TP.
