ABSTRACT

To achieve the effective intracellular delivery of siRNA and silence specific genes, various types of conjugates between cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs; Transportan, Penetratin, Tat) and cationic peptides were developed. Uptake, intracellular localization, cytotoxicity, and biological activity of siRNA were significantly dependent on the kind of CPP used and the length of the cationic peptides in the conjugate. Transportan-based conjugates yielded both high internalization of siRNA and strong gene silencing activity, while Penetratin- and Tat-based conjugates did not. These different properties of CPPs emphasize the importance of careful peptide selection and design when attempting the application of CPP technology.
