Rational construction of TF-CPP-SSL.
Notes: (A) Cellular uptake of TFX-CPPY-SSL-loaded courmarin-6 on BMVECs, X and Y represent the molecular weight of PEG linked to TF and CPP, respectively. (B) Effect of TF density on cellular uptake ratio of TF3.4K-SSL-loaded courmarin-6 on BMVECs and C6, respectively. (C) Effect of CPP density on cellular uptake of TF3.4K-CPP2K-SSL-loaded courmarin-6 on presaturated glioma C6 cells. **P<0.01, data were expressed by mean ± SD (n=3). TF3.4K-SSL, transferrin linked to PEG3.4K-modified liposome; TF3.4K-CPP2K-SSL, transferrin linked to PEG3.4K and cell penetrating peptide linked to PEG2K-modified liposome.
Abbreviations: TF, transferrin; CPP, cell penetrating peptide (G2R9); SSL, sterically stabilized liposome; BMVECs, brain microvascular endothelial cells; PEG, polyethylene glycol; FI, fluorescence intensity.
