Internalization of novel non-viral vector TAT-streptavidin into human cells

Abstract: Background: The cell-penetrating peptide derived from the Human immunodeficiency virus-1 transactivator protein Tat possesses the capacity to promote the effective uptake of various cargo molecules across the plasma membrane in vitro and in vivo. The objective of this study was to characterize the uptake and delivery mechanisms of a novel streptavidin fusion construct, TAT 47-

“…The effects of cytochalasin D and of amiloride indicate that macropinocytosis is predominantly involved in the cell entry of MCa b -Strep-Cy5. This observation is consistent with many other reports that indicate a role of macropinocytosis in cell entry of other CPPs (14,29). However, the lack of effect of methyl-␤-cyclodextrin appears to indicate that endocytosis of MCa b -Strep-Cy5 is not dependent on lipid rafts or at least on cholesterol availability.…”

“…Our data support the conclusions of earlier studies involving a range of CPP-conjugated nanoparticles, such as TAT quantum dots and gold particles, 7d,9 and CPP-conjugated macromolecules such as TAT– streptavidin. 18 In all cases, internalization relied on energy-dependent endocytosis mechanisms.…”

“…(d) MβCD and nystatin treatment: cells were pretreated with 10 mM M β CD or 25 μg mL −1 nystatin in PBS buffer for 35 min at 37 °C to deplete membrane cholesterol44 before incubation with CCNPs. (e) Macropinocytosis inhibition: Cells were pre-incubated for 35 min with 5 μM cyto-D45 and 2 μM LATB,46 respectively, followed by incubation with CCNPs. The drugs were maintained during the incubation with CCNPs.…”
