Development of a cell-penetrating peptide-based nanocomplex for long-term delivery of intact mitochondrial DNA into epithelial cells by Kyrie Wilson, Charles Holjencin, Hwaran Lee, Balasubramaniam Annamalai, Masaaki Ishii, Jeremy L. Gilbert, Andrew Jakymiw, Bärbel Rohrer

“…The generated nanoparticle complexes were found to be taken up by cells and localized to mitochondria, with exogenous mtDNA retention/maintenance, along with mitochondrial RNA and protein production, observed in mitochondria-depleted ARPE-19 cells at least 4 weeks following a single treatment. These data demonstrate the feasibility of restoring mtDNA in cells via a CPP carrier, with the therapeutic potential to correct mtDNA damage independent of the number of gene mutations found within the mtDNA.…”
