Molarity Calculator

pH-Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP) is a short, pH-responsive peptide capable of inserting across a cell membrane to form a transmembrane helix at acidic pH. pH-Low Insertion Peptide targets the acidic tumor microenvironment for tumors at early and metastatic stages with high specificity, used as a specific ligand. pH-Low Insertion Peptide successfully modify polylysine polymers to have the pH-responsive capability. pH-Low Insertion Peptide-based targeting of cancer presents an opportunity to monitor metabolic changes, and to selectively deliver imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors.

Description

pH-Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP) is a short, pH-responsive peptide capable of inserting across a cell membrane to form a transmembrane helix at acidic pH. pH-Low Insertion Peptide targets the acidic tumor microenvironment for tumors at early and metastatic stages with high specificity, used as a specific ligand. pH-Low Insertion Peptide successfully modify polylysine polymers to have the pH-responsive capability. pH-Low Insertion Peptide-based targeting of cancer presents an opportunity to monitor metabolic changes, and to selectively deliver imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors[1][2][3].

In Vitro

pH-Low Insertion Peptide (5 μM, 2 h) combined with peptide nucleic acid (peptide nucleic acid, PNA) significantly increases PNA delivery at pH 6.2 in A549 cells[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Immunofluorescence[3]

Cell Line: A549 cells
Concentration: 5 μM
Incubation Time: 2 h
Result: Significantly increases PNA delivery combined with PNA at pH 6.2 in A549 cells.
In Vivo

pH-Low Insertion Peptide (50 μM, a single tail vein injection, 4, 24, and 48 h) variants shows the pH-dependent tumor targeting and different blood clearance profiles, the overall tumor spatial distributions are identical in murine 4T1 xenograft mode[2].
pH-Low Insertion Peptide (10 μM, i.v., a single dose for 24 h) can clearly differentiate between regions of primarily tumor cells and nonmalignant stromal tissues, also accumulates the hypoxia marker Pimonidazole (HY-105129A) and relates to the production of acidic glucose metabolites in MMTV-Py MT mice[2].
pH-Low Insertion Peptide (0.2 μmol/kg, i.v., a single dose for 24 h) demonstrats excellent tumor targeting combined with PNA in mice seeded melanoma tumors[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Murine 4T1 xenograft model[2]
Dosage: 50 μM
Administration: a single tail vein injection, tumors collected at 4, 24, and 48 h after administration
Result: The spatial distribution and the intensity profiles of all pHLIPs in tumors were identical in murine 4T1 xenograft mode.
Animal Model: FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVT)634Mul/J transgenic female mice developed palpable mammary tumors at 12-15 weeks of age[2]
Dosage: 10 μM
Administration: i.v., a single dose for 24 h
Result: Clearly differentiated between regions of primarily tumor cells and nonmalignant stromal tissues.
Animal Model: 6-week old C57BL/6 mice seeded melanoma tumors[3]
Dosage: 0.2 μmol/kg
Administration: intravenously injected via the retro-orbital sinus, a single dose for 24 h
Result: All the pH-Low Insertion Peptide-PNAs demonstrated excellent tumor targeting.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
