Multivalent cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been reported to show enhancement in cellular uptake and endosomolytic activity. However, its application was limited to trans-delivery of cargo which is lower in cellular uptake efficiency of cargo than cis-delivery. Here, we tried the cis-delivery of cargo with multivalent CPP by preparing bioreducible dimeric CPP-cargo with apoptotic activity using TatBim peptide, a fusion of Tat CPP and Bim peptide derived from Bim apoptosis-inducing protein. Dimeric TatBim was almost twice as highly internalized by cells and significantly induced apoptosis compared to monomeric TatBim. Contribution of bioreducible linkage of dimeric TatBim towards apoptotic activity was also confirmed. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
