gene-therapy delivery cell-penetrating future
Overview
Peptides play crucial roles in gene therapy as cell-penetrating carriers, endosomal escape agents, and nuclear targeting signals.
Key Roles
- CPPs: Cell-penetrating peptides for nucleic acid delivery
- Endosomal escape: pH-responsive peptides release cargo
- Nuclear localization: NLS peptides target nucleus
- Viral vector modification: Peptide-display on AAV capsids
Applications
- Peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates for splice modulation
- Peptide-delivered siRNA for gene silencing
- CPP-conjugated mRNA for protein replacement
- Peptide-based non-viral gene delivery vectors
Challenges
Efficiency of endosomal escape, serum stability, and tissue specificity remain key challenges for peptide-mediated gene therapy.
