Cell-Penetrating Peptides—Mechanisms of Cellular Uptake and Generation of Delivery Systems

TL;DR: The current knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for the cellular uptake of cell-penetrating peptides, including the S413-PV peptide, are discussed, and the potential of peptide-based formulations to mediate nucleic acid delivery is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-155 modulates microglia-mediated immune response by down-regulating SOCS-1 and promoting cytokine and nitric oxide production

TL;DR: Results show that miR‐155 has a pro‐inflammatory role in microglia and is necessary for the progression of the immune response through the modulation of SOCS‐1, suggesting that, in a chronic inflammatory context, miR •155 inhibition can have a neuroprotective effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

MiRNA-21 silencing mediated by tumor-targeted nanoparticles combined with sunitinib: A new multimodal gene therapy approach for glioblastoma.

TL;DR: Results provide evidence that CTX-coupled SNALPs are a reliable and efficient system for systemic delivery of anti-miRNA oligonucleotides and suggest that miRNA modulation by the targeted nanoparticles combined with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy may hold promise as an attractive approach towards GBM treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early miR-155 upregulation contributes to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease triple transgenic mouse model

TL;DR: Early miR-155 and c-Jun upregulation in the 3xTg AD mice, as well as in Aβ-activated microglia and astrocytes, are suggested to be contributing to the production of inflammatory mediators such as IL-6 and IFN-β.
