Abstract

We constructed multimers of the TAT-(47-57) peptide. This polycationic peptide is known to be a protein and particle transduction domain and at the same time to comprise a nuclear localization function. Here we show that oligomers of the TAT-(47-57) peptide compact plasmid DNA to nanometric particles and stabilize DNA toward nuclease degradation. At optimized vector compositions, these peptides mediated gene delivery to cells in culture 6-8-fold more efficiently than poly-L-arginine or the mutant TAT(2)-M1. When DNA was precompacted with TAT peptides and polyethyleneimine (PEI), Superfect, or LipofectAMINE was added, transfection efficiency was enhanced up to 390-fold compared with the standard vectors. As early as after 4 h of transfection, reporter gene expression mediated by TAT-containing complexes was higher than the 24-h transfection level achieved with a standard PEI transfection. When cells were cell cycle-arrested by serum starvation or aphidicolin, TAT-mediated transfection was 3-fold more efficient than a standard PEI transfection in proliferating cells. In primary nasal epithelial cells and upon intratracheal instillation in vivo, TAT-containing complexes were superior to standard PEI vectors. These data together with confocal imaging of TAT-DNA complexes in cells support the hypothesis that the TAT nuclear localization sequence function is involved in enhancing gene transfer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
