Key Process and Factors Controlling the Direct Translocation of Cell-Penetrating Peptide through Bio-Membrane
Cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) can directly penetrate the cytosol (cytolysis) and is expected to be a potent vector for a drug delivery system (DDS). Although there is general agreement that CPP cytolysis is related to dynamic membrane deformation, a distinctive process has yet to be established. He...

description | Cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) can directly penetrate the cytosol (cytolysis) and is expected to be a potent vector for a drug delivery system (DDS). Although there is general agreement that CPP cytolysis is related to dynamic membrane deformation, a distinctive process has yet to be established. Here, we report the key process and factors controlling CPP cytolysis. To elucidate the task, we have introduced trypsin digestion of adsorbed CPP onto giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) to quantify the adsorption and internalization (cytolysis) separately. Also, the time-course analysis was introduced for the geometric calculation of adsorption and internalization amount per lipid molecule consisting of GUV. As a result, we found that adsorption and internalization assumed to occur successively by CPP molecule come into contact with membrane lipid. Adsorption is quick to saturate within 10 min, while cytolysis of each CPP on the membrane follows successively. After adsorption is saturated, cytolysis proceeds further linearly by time with a different rate constant that is dependent on the osmotic pressure. We also found that temperature and lipid composition influence cytolysis by modulating lipid mobility. The electrolyte in the outer media is also affected as a chemical mediator to control CPP cytolysis by following the Hoffmeister effect for membrane hydration. These results confirmed the mechanism of cytolysis as temporal and local phase transfer of membrane lipid from Lα to Mesh<sub>1</sub>, which has punctured bilayer morphologies. |
