The cRGD-conjugated Aib-containing amphipathic helical peptide, MAP(Aib) derivative (PI), has been reported to be a useful carrier for siRNA delivery into cells. We have conducted a series of structure-activity relationship studies of the influence of the balance between hydrophobicity and basicity on the amphipathicity ofPI, and synthesized peptides having a larger number of Lys residues thanPI. Increasing the number of basic residues in the amphipathic helix suppressed the ability to deliver siRNA into cells. It was concluded that the balance between hydrophobicity and basicity in thePIhelix was important for siRNA delivery into cells. Furthermore, the siRNA delivering ability ofPIwas specific to cancer cells, such as A549, U-87 MG, and WiDr cells, and was low in normal cells, namely, NIH3T3 cells. Next, we examined the potential ofPIas a carrier for the delivery of microRNA-133b (miR-133b), which is known to be an anti-oncomiR.PIenhanced the delivery of miR-133b into WiDr cells, which resulted in the suppression of endogenous protein expression.
