PG - e2100694 LID - 10.1002/advs.202100694 [doi] LID - 2100694 AB - The transport of membrane impermeable compounds into cells is a prerequisite for the efficient cellular delivery of hydrophilic and amphiphilic compounds and drugs. Transport into the cell's cytosolic compartment should ideally be controllable and it should involve biologically compatible and degradable vehicles. Addressing these challenges, nanocontainers based on cyclodextrin amphiphiles that are stabilized by a biodegradable peptide shell are developed and their potential to deliver fluorescently labeled cargo into human cells is analyzed. Host-guest mediated self-assembly of a thiol-containing short peptide or a cystamine-cross-linked polypeptide shell on cyclodextrin vesicles produce short peptide-shelled (SPSV(ss) ) or polypeptide-shelled vesicles (PPSV(ss) ), respectively, with redox-responsive and biodegradable features. Whereas SPSV(ss) are permeable and less stable, PPSV(ss) effectively encapsulate cargo and show a strictly regulated release of membrane impermeable cargo triggered by either reducing conditions or peptidase treatment. Live cell experiments reveal that the novel PPSV(SS) are readily internalized by primary human endothelial cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) and cervical cancer cells and that the reductive microenvironment of the cells' endosomes trigger release of the hydrophilic cargo into the cytosol. Thus, PPSV(SS) represent a highly efficient, biodegradable, and tunable system for overcoming the plasma membrane as a natural barrier for membrane-impermeable cargo. CI - (c) 2021 The Authors.
