Evaluation of Cell Penetrating Peptide Delivery System on HPV16E7 Expression in Three Types of Cell Line
Background: The poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to DNA plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. Therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid DNA encoding HPV16 E7 gene...
متن کاملConvergent synthesis and cellular uptake of multivalent cell penetrating peptides derived from Tat, Antp, pVEC, TP10 and SAP.
Cell penetrating peptides (CPP) are peptides of 10 to 30 residues derived from natural translocating proteins. Multivalency is known to enhance cellular uptake for the Tat peptide and closely related polycationic sequences. To test whether multivalency effects on cellular uptake might also occur with other CPP types, we prepared multivalent versions of the strongly cationic Tat, the amphipathic...
متن کاملThe membrane repair response masks membrane disturbances caused by cell-penetrating peptide uptake.
Although cell-penetrating peptides are able to deliver cargo into cells, their uptake mechanism is still not fully understood and needs to be elucidated to improve their delivery efficiency. Herein, we present evidence of a new mechanism involved in uptake, the membrane repair response. Recent studies have suggested that there might be a direct penetration of peptides in parallel with different...
متن کاملA newly identified bacterial cell-penetrating peptide that reduces the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Cell-permeable proteins, also called cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), have the ability to cross cellular membranes, either alone or in association with bioactive cargo. We identified the Yersinia protein YopM as a novel bacterial cell-permeable protein. Here, we describe the ability of isolated recombinant YopM to enter host cells without a requirement for additional factors. This autonomous t...
متن کاملCell-Penetrating Peptides— Uptake, Toxicity, and Applications
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) mediate the uptake of interconnected cargoes of different types into cells and organisms. Studies in living cells revealed that high-molecular-weight cargoes linked to CPPs are delivered via endocytic routes whereas CPPs by themselves or fused to low-molecular-weight cargoes can in addition enter by a mechanism that does not require vesicle formation. This latte...
