Dual Peptide Conjugation Strategy for Improved Cellular Uptake and Mitochondria Targeting
Mitochondria are critical regulators of cellular function and survival. Delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents into mitochondria is a challenging task in modern pharmacology because the molecule to be delivered needs to first overcome the cell membrane barrier and then be able to actively target the intracellular organelle. Current strategy of conjugating either a cell penetrating peptid...
متن کاملZnO nanofluids for the improved cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of doxorubicin
Objective(s): Combination anticancer therapy holds promise for improving the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin (DOX) as well as decreasing their dose-limiting side effects. Overcoming the side effects of doxorubicin (DOX) is a major challenge to the effective treatment of cancer. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are emerging as potent tools for a wide variety of b...
متن کاملOligohistidine and targeting peptide functionalized TAT-NLS for enhancing cellular uptake and promoting angiogenesis in vivo
BACKGROUND Gene therapy has been developed and used in medical treatment for many years, especially for the enhancement of endothelialization and angiogenesis. But slow endosomal escape rate is still one of the major barriers to successful gene delivery. In order to evaluate whether introducing oligohistidine (Hn) sequence into gene carriers can promote endosomal escape and gene transfection or...
متن کاملDual-Targeting Pro-apoptotic Peptide for Programmed Cancer Cell Death via Specific Mitochondria Damage
Mitochondria are vital organelles to eukaryotic cells. Damage to mitochondria will cause irreversible cell death or apoptosis. In this report, we aim at programmed cancer cell death via specific mitochondrial damage. Herein, a functionalized pro-apoptotic peptide demonstrates a dual-targeting capability using folic acid (FA) (targeting agent I) and triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation (targeting a...
متن کاملDual defensin strategy for targeting Enterococcus faecalis.
A leading cause of antibiotic-resistant hospital infection (1), Enterococcus faecalis, decorates its surface with proteins that contribute to its ability to colonize and survive. Several proteins, including Esp (2), aggregation substance (3), a collagen adhesin (4), and a pilin (5), correlate with a particular disease or exacerbate the course of infection in amodel system. In PNAS, Kandaswamy e...
