TLDR
Different endosomal escape devices currently in application in combination with AR-CPPs are presented and their applications for the delivery of different macromolecules in vitro and, if applicable, in vivo are presented.Abstract:
Arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides (AR-CPPs) are very promising tools for the delivery of therapeutic macromolecules such as peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. These peptides allow efficient internalization of the linked cargos intracellularly through the endocytic pathway. However, when linked to bulky cargos, entrapment in the endocytic vesicles is a major limitation to the application of these peptides in cytosolic delivery. Attachment of a compatible endosomal escape device is, therefore, necessary to allow cytosolic delivery of the peptide-attached cargo. This review presents different endosomal escape devices currently in application in combination with AR-CPPs. Applications of fusogenic lipids, membrane-disruptive peptides, membrane-disruptive polymers, lysosomotropic agents, and photochemical internalization to enhance the cytosolic delivery of AR-CPPs-attached cargos are presented. The properties of each system and its mechanism of action for the enhancement of endosomal escape are discussed, together with its applications for the delivery of different macromolecules in vitro and, if applicable, in vivo.read more

TL;DR: Together, these properties make PEI a promising vector for gene therapy and an outstanding core for the design of more sophisticated devices because its efficiency relies on extensive lysosome buffering that protects DNA from nuclease degradation, and consequent lysOSomal swelling and rupture that provide an escape mechanism for the PEI/DNA particles.

Cellular uptake of the tat protein from human immunodeficiency virus

TL;DR: Experiments using radioactive protein show that tat becomes localized to the nucleus after uptake and suggest that chloroquine protects tat from proteolytic degradation, raising the possibility that, under some conditions, tat might act as a viral growth factor to stimulate viral replication in latently infected cells or alter expression of cellular genes.

The third helix of the Antennapedia homeodomain translocates through biological membranes
TL;DR: It is reported here that a polypeptide of 16 amino acids in length corresponding to the third helix of the homeodomain deleted of its N-terminal glutamate is still capable of translocating through the membrane, suggesting an energy-independent mechanism of translocation not involving classical endocytosis.
