Problems solved by technology

Since the two carry the same charge, Poly(I:C) and CpG ODN cannot actively and efficiently enter the target cells, and can only rely on endocytosis to stimulate the generation of cascade reactions. This process is due to Poly(I:C) C) and CpG ODN have prolonged extracellular residence time and are easily decomposed by nucleases, which will inevitably weaken their immunostimulatory effect

Abstract

The present application discloses a cell-penetrating peptide derived from Cap protein of duck circovirus and its design method and application. The amino acid sequence of the cell-penetrating peptide is: LRRRRRRRRLRIARPRRRF; the cell-penetrating peptide of this application is derived from the Capsid structural protein of duck circovirus, which can significantly improve the transmembrane efficiency of transport targets such as nucleic acid immunopotentiators. It mediates Poly(I:C) and CpG ODN into macrophages to induce interferon IFN-β transcription levels to increase nearly 4 times that of TAT, and 8 times that of immunostimulators alone. The cell-penetrating peptide Du-Cap aa18-37 of the present application is safe and efficient, can significantly improve the transmembrane efficiency, further enrich the types of cell-penetrating peptides, and can be developed into a safe and efficient gene drug and nucleic acid immunity Ideal delivery vehicle for stimulants.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cell-penetrating peptide, in particular to a cell-penetrating peptide derived from duck circovirus Cap protein and its application. Background technique [0002] Immunopotentiators (immune adjuvants) are a class of immunoregulatory factors, compounds or macromolecular complexes that can improve the immunogenicity of antigens. Immune adjuvants assist the antigen response by stimulating the body's innate immune system. The innate immune system recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) expressed by pathogenic microorganisms through pattern recognition receptors (PRR) in the body. Toll-like receptor (TLR) is an important receptor in pattern recognition receptors. There are currently 11 types discovered, such as TLR3 that mainly recognizes Poly(I:C), TLR9 that recognizes CpG ODN, and bacterial LPS TLR4. Poly(I:C) is a double-stranded RNA analogue of artificially synthesized polyinosine nucleotides and polycytosi...
