Abstract:
:The cellular penetration (CP) activity of functional molecules has attracted significant attention as one of the most promising new approaches for drug delivery. In particular, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been studied extensively in cellular engineering. Because there have been few large-scale systematic studies to identify peptide sequences with optimal CP activity or that are suitable for further applications in cell engineering, such as cell-specific penetration and cell-selective culture, we screened and compared the cellular uptake (CU) activity of 54 systematically designed α-helical peptides in HeLa cells. Furthermore, the CU activity of 24 designed peptides was examined in four cell lines using a cell fingerprinting technique and statistical approaches. The CU activities in various cells depended on amino acid residues of peptide sequences as well as charge, α-helical content and hydrophobicity of the peptides. Notably, the mutation of a single residue significantly altered the CU ability of a peptide, highlighting the variability of cell uptake mechanisms. Moreover, these results demonstrated the feasibility of cell-selective culture by conducting cell-selective permeation and death in cultures containing two cell types. These studies may lead to further peptide library design and screening for new classes of CPPs with useful functions.
