Enhanced breast cancer cell targeting: RGD integrin ligand potentiates RWQWRWQWR’s cytotoxicity and inhibits migration by Andrea Barragán-Cárdenas, Daniel Castellar-Almonacid, Yerly Vargas-Casanova, Claudia Parra-Giraldo, Adriana Umaña-Pérez, Joel López-Meza, Zuly Rivera-Monroy, Javier García-Castañeda

“…Results: The peptides with replacements of D-amino acid showed a lesser cytotoxic effect against breast cancer cell lines, regardless it was one or several residues modified which suggested a possible specific interaction between the peptide and the cancer cell membrane besides its initial electrostatically contact. On the other hand, addition of the RGD sequence to the palindromic peptide in the N-terminal end resulted in a greater cytotoxic effect against cell lines derived from the three mainly diagnosed breast cancer molecular subtypes. …”
