To mimic the effect of cationic polymers, we selected to use vesicle associated membrane protein-8 (VAMP8) and modified its N-terminus with different cationic cell penetrating peptides (CPPs). The modified fusion proteins are expressed in an Escherichia coli system and purified after extraction. These modified VAMP8 proteins are used as free chains for gene transfection, while using bPEI-25k to condense the pDNA.

Human Telomerase

In the present study, we delivered human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) siRNA into SMMC-7721 hepatoma cells using a matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2)-activatable cell-penetrating peptide (aCPP). The siRNA subsequently induced down-regulation of the hTERT gene and G1-arrest, implicating the utility of this delivery system in cancer therapy.

The integration of drugs into nanocarriers favorably altered their pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics compared to free drugs, and increased their therapeutic index. However, selective cellular internalization in diseased tissues rather than normal tissues still presents a formidable challenge. In this chapter I will cover solutions involving environment-responsive cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). I will discuss properties of CPPs as universal cellular uptake enhancers, and the modifications imparted to CPP-modified nanocarriers to confine CPP activation to diseased tissues.

Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers

Cationic CPPs (cell-penetrating peptides) have been used largely for intracellular delivery of low-molecular-mass drugs, biomolecules and particles. Most cationic CPPs bind to cell-associated glycosaminoglycans and are internalized by endocytosis, although the detailed mechanisms involved remain controversial. Sequestration and degradation in endocytic vesicles severely limits the efficiency of cytoplasmic and/or nuclear delivery of CPP-conjugated material. Re-routing the splicing machinery by using steric-block ON (oligonucleotide) analogues, such as PNAs (peptide nucleic acids) or PMOs (phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers), has consequently been inefficient when ONs are conjugated with standard CPPs such as Tat (transactivator of transcription), R9 (nona-arginine), K8 (octalysine) or penetratin in the absence of endosomolytic agents. New arginine-rich CPPs such as (R-Ahx-R)4 (6-aminohexanoic acid-spaced oligo-arginine) or R6 (hexa-arginine)–penetratin conjugated to PMO or PNA resulted in efficient splicing correction at non-cytotoxic doses in the absence of chloroquine. SAR (structure–activity relationship) analyses are underway to optimize these peptide delivery vectors and to understand their mechanisms of cellular internalization.
