Bioactive macromolecular peptides and oligonucleotides have significant therapeutic potential. However, due to their size, they have no ability to enter the cytoplasm of cells. Peptide/Protein transduction domains (PTDs), also called cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), can promote uptake of macromolecules via endocytosis. However, overcoming the rate-limiting step of endosomal escape into the cytoplasm remains a major challenge. Hydrophobic amino acid R groups are known to play a vital role in viral escape from endosomes. Here we utilize a real-time, quantitative live cell split-GFP fluorescence complementation phenotypic assay to systematically analyze and optimize a series of synthetic endosomal escape domains (EEDs).
By conjugating EEDs to a TAT-PTD/CPP spilt-GFP peptide complementation assay, we were able to quantitatively measure endosomal escape into the cytoplasm of live cells via restoration of GFP fluorescence by intracellular molecular complementation. We found that EEDs containing two aromatic indole rings or one indole ring and two aromatic phenyl groups at a fixed distance of six polyethylene glycol (PEG) units from the TAT-PTD-cargo significantly enhanced cytoplasmic delivery in the absence of cytotoxicity. EEDs address the critical rate-limiting step of endosomal escape in delivery of macromolecular biologic peptide, protein and siRNA therapeutics into cells.
Bioactive macromolecules, including peptides, proteins and siRNAs, possess many desirable therapeutic features that provide unique opportunities to design precision medicine therapeutics to treat human disease. However, due to their size (1,000 Da), macromolecules have no bioavailability to cross the cell membrane and enter cells, and therefore, require the use of an efficient delivery agent to access their site of action in the cytoplasm or nucleus. The serendipitous identification of a basic cationic delivery peptide from the HIV TAT protein in the late 1980’s, called a peptide/protein transduction domain (PTD) or cell penetrating peptide (CPP), paved the way to delivery of macromolecular therapeutics. The TAT PTD has now been widely used to transport a variety of macromolecules into a plethora of cell types, as well as pre-clinical models of disease and multiple clinical trials, including a statistically significant phase-II and an ongoing phase-III trial. Thus, the TAT PTD has enabled the development of entirely new classes of intracellular molecular treatments.TAT PTD and related PTDs/CPPs deliver macromolecules into cells by endocytosis,.
In 2004, we designed a rigorous live cell phenotypic transduction assay to further delineate the endosomal pathway(s) used by PTD/CPPs. Using a cell based phenotypic assay based on TAT-Cre delivery and recombination of genomic DNA to induce GFP expression, we showed that the TAT PTD mediates cellular delivery by performing two critical processes: 1) TAT PTD actively stimulates it’s own uptake by induction of macropinocytosis, a specialized form of endocytosis, and 2) TAT PTD undergoes endosomal escape. Importantly, endosomal escape is still hands-down the rate-limiting step for delivery of macromolecules into the cytoplasm.
While the TAT-Cre cellular uptake assay as well as other phenotypic transduction methods have greatly aided with dissecting the cellular transduction mechanism, there has been a lack of a suitable live cell quantitative phenotypic transduction assay with a low to zero false-positive rate to effectively dissect escape into the cytoplasm. PTD/CPP binds to negatively charged molecules on the cell surface and stimulates macropinocytotic uptake and endosomal escape of GFPβ11-PTD/CPP peptide into the cytoplasm. When concentrated with the PTD/CPP in the endosomes, the hydrophobic EED motif buries itself into the lipid bilayer membrane which leads to a localized membrane destabilization that enhances endosomal escape into the cytoplasm.
Binding of GFPβ11 peptide to non-fluorescent GFPβ1-10 protein fragment in the cytoplasm induces chemical formation of the GFP fluorescent chromophore. Design of real-time, live cell quantitative split-GFP fluorescence transduction assayFirst we synthesize a GFPβ11-TAT peptide and investigated if it would complement with GFPβ1-10. In vitro mixing of the synthetic GFPβ11-TAT peptide with purified GFPβ1-10 protein fragment at 37 °C resulted in a steady time-dependent increase in GFP fluorescence that started to plateau at 1 h and reached maximal GFP fluorescence by 2–4 h.Next, we administered GFPβ11-TAT to cells stably expressing the GFPβ1-10 fragment to examine if we can quantitatively determine the cytoplasmic uptake by PTDs/CPPs in live cells via restoration of GFP fluorescence. We generated stable cell clones constitutively expressing the non-fluorescent large GFPβ1-10 fragment, including H1299 non-small cell lung carcinoma, HaCaT immortalized keratinocytes, and MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 breast carcinomas. Treatment of GFPβ1-10 expressing human H1299 cells with increasing concentration of GFPβ11-TAT peptide (0–60 μM) resulted in a robust intracellular GFP fluorescence complementation signal (; ). The near linear dose-dependent increase in fluorescence suggested an absence of a critical threshold concentration for intracellular uptake and endosomal escape. Interestingly, FACS histogram analysis revealed that most, if not all, individual cells displayed GFP fluorescence complementation and hence, were transduced.
In contrast, addition of control GFPβ11 peptide plus TAT peptide in trans (non-conjugated) failed to induce GFP fluorescence above background. Likewise, treatment of parental control H1299 cells (no GFPβ1-10 fragment) with GFPβ11-TAT peptide failed to increase fluorescence above background. Furthermore, GFPβ11-TAT peptide treated cells did not display any cytotoxicity or morphological changes. Similar dose-dependent results were obtained after addition of GFPβ11-TAT to three additional GFPβ1-10 expressing cell types, MCF7, MDA-MB-231 and HaCaT cells. Consistent with an actin-dependent macropinocytotic endocytosis uptake mechanism, RNAi knockdown of Rac-1 or treatment with the macropinocytosis inhibitor, EIPA, resulted in reduced GFP fluorescence to near background levels.

( f) Histogram of GFPβ1-10 H1299 cells treated with GFPβ11-TAT peptide and control untreated and measured by FACS over time. We next examined the kinetics of delivery. H1299 GFPβ1-10 expressing cells were treated with GFPβ11-TAT peptide for various amounts of time. We observed GFP fluorescence as early as 20 min with a steady increase of signal that plateaued after 2 hr.
Fluorescent video microscopy of GFPβ11-TAT peptide treated cells confirmed the time-dependent increase in GFP fluorescence throughout the entire cell population. Thus, taking GFP chromophore maturation kinetics into account , these experiments showed that TAT-PTD-mediated uptake is occurring rapidly after addition to cells and that the majority of uptake and escape into the cytoplasm is likely complete within the first hour. Collectively, these observations validated the utility of bimolecular split-GFP complementation as a live cell quantitative phenotypic delivery assay for measuring GFPβ11-TAT peptide delivery and endosomal escape into the cytoplasm with a zero false-positive rate.
Hydrophobic endosomal escape domainsSuccessful delivery of macromolecules into the cytoplasm of cells requires three critical steps: 1) cell association, 2) stimulation of endocytosis, and 3) facilitation of endosomal escape. Of these, it is well appreciated that the critical bottleneck is escape of macromolecules from endosomes into the cytoplasm in a non-cytotoxic fashion,. Indeed, treatment of GFPβ1-10 expressing H1299 cells with a low concentration of a disulfide conjugated GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide plus Chloroquine, an endosomal disruption agent, resulted in a 4-fold increase in GFP fluorescence. This observation confirmed that the bulk of GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide remained trapped in endosomes and also demonstrated the ability of the split-GFP assay to detect additional endosomal escape. Unfortunately, Chloroquine, as well as other endosomal escape or endolytic agents, are often too toxic for use in preclinical models or eventual clinical trials of macromolecular therapeutics. Alternatively, viruses have evolutionarily addressed the endosomal escape problem by destabilizing the endosomal lipid bilayer membrane by insertion of motifs containing hydrophobic amino acid R groups. Previously, we had used the hemagglutinin (HA2) endosomal escape domain from influenza virus to enhance TAT-Cre protein delivery into cells.

Likewise, two groups, Dr. Futaki’s in Japan and Dr. Norden’s in Sweden, have previously shown that addition of hydrophobic aromatic ring containing amino acids, Phe (F) or Trp (W), can enhance PTD/CPP delivery peptides. ( a) GFPβ1-10 H1299 cells treated with GFPβ11-TAT peptide or untreated control were also treated with plus 100 μM Chloroquine, an endosomal disruption agent, and assayed for GFP fluorescence by FACS. ( b–e) Dose-dependent comparison of GFPβ1-10 expressing H1299 cells treated with GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-PEG(n)-GWWG ( b) peptides containing varying length (n) of PEG spacer (P) analyzed for GFP fluorescence ( c), cellular morphology ( d), and number of viable cells ( e) by FACS.
The graphs show mean values of triplicate sample analysis with S.D. Using the spilt-GFP assay, we systematically investigated how to enhance endosomal escape by covalent attachment of hydrophobic Endosomal Escape Domains (EEDs). To avoid any potential steric or hydrophobic interference between different EEDs and GFPβ11 complementation with cytoplasmic GFPβ1-10, we conjugated all GFPβ11 peptides to TAT-EED peptides via a disulfide linker that allows for intracellular reductive separation of the GFPβ11 cargo from the EED and TAT delivery domain.
All disulfide conjugated peptides were purified by HPLC and quality controlled by mass-spectrometry. Both GFPβ11-TAT and GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptides induced GFP fluorescence in a similar dose-dependent manner.
We first synthesized an EED containing two Tryptophan residues flanked by Glycine moieties for free bond rotation -GWWG on the C-terminus of GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT. Treatment of GFPβ1-10 expressing H1299 cells with GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-GWWG resulted in a strong enhanced endosomal escape and GFP fluorescence; however, it simultaneously strongly increased cytotoxicity. In line with this, prior research on PTD/CPP transduction also showed that inclusion of fluorescent dyes (which are hydrophobic) or other hydrophobic residues may result in altered PTD peptide uptake and increased cytotoxicity compared to PTDs/CPPs alone,.
Consequently, while aromatic residues enhanced endosomal escape, they did so at the expense of significantly increased toxicity, thereby limiting their use.We reasoned that part of the basis of the cytotoxicity arose due to the close proximity of the hydrophobic EED to the charged TAT delivery domain. Therefore, we increased the distance between the EED and delivery domain by inclusion of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular spacer. PEG is a hydrophilic, non-ionic, biologically inert polymer that is commonly used to improve the formulation and deliverability of various drugs. We generated GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-PEG(n)-GWWG delivery domains with an increasing number of PEG units between TAT and the hydrophobic EED motif. Surprisingly, inclusion of a six PEG unit (P6) spacer in GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-PEG6-GWWG retained the enhanced cytoplasmic delivery, but significantly reduced the cellular toxicity, even at the highest concentration tested (60 μM). However, increasing the spacer distance to 12 or 18 PEG units substantially lowered uptake or escape efficiency. Based on these results, we performed all subsequent experiments using the six PEG unit (P6) spacer.
Screening hydrophobic endosomal escape domainsBoth Trp (W) and Phe (F) residues are both known to destabilize cellular membranes by burying their hydrophobic R groups into the lipid bilayer. To optimize the EED, we systematically synthesized C-terminal hydrophobic EEDs with various combinations of Trp and Phe residues that included the optimal six PEG unit (P6) spacer. After initial analyses, we focused our efforts on seven different hydrophobic EED motifs: -GFFG, -GWG, -GFWG, -GFWFG, -GWWG, -GWGGWG, and -GWWW.G and a control –GG motif. Addition of aromatic rings from either two Phe residues, GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GFFG, or one Trp residue, GFPβ11-(S- S)-TAT-P6-GWG, to the C-terminus, had no net effect on delivery compared to the parental GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide. However, addition of aromatic rings from both a Phe and Trp, GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GFWG, showed a two-fold increase in GFP fluorescence compared to the parental GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide with no signs of cytotoxicity. Moreover, increasing hydrophobicity by inclusion of either Phe-Trp-Phe residues, GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GFWFG, or two Trp residues, GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GWWG, to the C-terminus, resulted in a five-fold increase in GFP fluorescence in the absence of cytotoxicity. However, addition of six aromatic rings by inclusion of three Trp residues, GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GWWW.G, resulted in a dramatic increase in cytotoxicity that hampered uptake.
( a) Structures of EEDs. ( b–e) Dose-dependent comparison of GFPβ1-10 H1299-c#G3 cells treated with GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-(X) peptides containing a PEG6-spaced aromatic ring hydrophobic endosomal escape domain (EED), as indicated, to parental GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide and control GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-PEG6-GG peptide analyzed by FACS for GFP fluorescence ( b, c), cell viability ( d), and cellular morphology ( e). The table ( b) displays mean values from triplicate samples and the graphs ( c–e) show the same mean values with S.D. Increasing the spacing between the two Trp residues by insertion of two Gly residues, -GWGGWG in GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GWGGWG, decreased the enhancement significantly compared to the -GWWG motif, suggesting that a concentrated hydrophobic patch is required for the enhanced endosomal escape. We also noted that addition of a control C-terminal PEG6-GG tail, GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GG, resulted in a lower uptake compared to parental GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide, suggesting that a free PEG polymer tail alone reduced uptake. Surprisingly, while both the -GWWG and -GFWFG domains enhanced cytoplasmic escape compared to parental GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide, inclusion of four consecutive aromatic ring Phe residues, -GFFFFG, resulted in adverse cytotoxic effects on cells, causing gross morphological changes and cell death , suggesting that too long of a hydrophobic patch results in cell membrane destabilization leading to cytotoxicity.
TAT peptides are taken up into cells by stimulating macropinocytosis. Using 70 kDa neutral dextran-Texas Red as a marker of macropinocytosis, we determined that the control TAT, TAT-P6-GFWFG and TAT-P6-GWWG peptides all stimulate macropinocytosis to a similar extent , arguing that the increased GFP fluorescence by GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GFWFG and GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GWWG peptides is indeed due to enhanced endosomal escape and not merely an increased stimulation of macropinocytosis. Lastly, we confirmed that the optimized GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT-P6-GFWFG peptide significantly enhanced endosomal escape in three additional human cell lines in a non-cytotoxic fashion compared to the parental GFPβ11-(S-S)-TAT peptide , suggesting that EEDs universally enhance endosomal escape. Delivery of macromolecular cargo, including peptides, proteins and siRNAs, into cells and tissues has great potential as truly precision medicine therapeutics to treat human disease.
Here the answers seems to be no, putting Kingdom Hearts 3 on a similar PC release date track as Final Fantasy XV. Could that mean Kingdom Hearts 3 makes it to PCs in 2019? That would mean we could expect to see Kingdom Hearts 3 come out on PC in the Spring of 2020.But there's two other considerations that could substantially alter that calculation. Kingdom hearts iii pc. Since Kingdom Hearts 3 was developed using the Unreal Engine 4, instead of Square Enix's internal Luminous Studio engine, porting the game to PC might be a lot simpler than it was with Final Fantasy XV.
To improve uptake, we and others have previously incorporated various hydrophobic domains to modulate function and uptake of PTDs/CPPs,; however, associated cytotoxicity has remained a significant problem. In this study, we employed a simple real-time, quantitative live cell phenotypic PTD/CPP transduction assay using a split GFP peptide cargo complementation approach to measure transduction of cargo in the cytoplasm.
We used this assay to 1) examine if increasing the distance between the PTD/CPP and a hydrophobic EED could decrease the cytotoxicity but maintain cytoplasmic delivery, and 2) screen a selection of EEDs with increasing hydrophobicity. We found that a six PEG unit spacer (18 carbon bond lengths) resulted in an optimal separation distance between the PTD/CPP and the hydrophobic patch. This spacer helped maintain enhanced cytoplasmic delivery, but minimized cytotoxicity. Using a systematic approach, we then narrowed down the optimal EED composition to containing two indole rings or one indole ring and two phenyl groups in either a FWF or WW composition. Interestingly, Li et al. Identified a highly charged Aurein 1.2 peptide that enhances endosomal escape 5-fold.We speculate that the improved PTD/CPP-EED domains developed here enhance cellular macromolecular delivery by insertion of the hydrophobic patch into the lipid bilayer at a critical distance (18 bonds) from the delivery domain. Thus, when concentrated in endosomes, the PTD/CPP-EED results in a strong localized membrane destabilization, leading to enhanced escape into the cytoplasm.
However, further delineating of the exact mechanism(s) of action will require extensive biophysical studies. In conclusion, the TAT-EEDs described here show a significantly improved uptake profile compared to TAT alone and have potential to address the critical rate-limiting endosomal escape step in intracellular delivery of macromolecular biologic peptide, protein and siRNA therapeutics and to shape next-generation endosomal escape domains.
