R9-caPep
R9-caPep (RRRRRRRRRCCLGIPEQEY) is a cell-penetrating peptide derived from proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). R9-caPep selectively blocks the interactions between PCNA and FEN1, as well as between PCNA and LIGI, while preserving the binding of POLD3 to PCNA. R9-caPep interferes with DNA synthesis and homologous recombination-mediated double-strand DNA break repair, inducing S-phase arrest, DNA damage accumulation, and apoptosis. R9-caPep inhibits the growth of tumor volume and weight of neuroblastoma in nude mice. R9-caPep can be used in research related to neuroblastoma and triple-negative breast cancer.

Biological Activity
R9-caPep (72 h) inhibits the proliferation of various neuroblastoma cell lines, with an IC50 ranging from 10 to 32 mM, and blocks the interaction of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)[1].
R9-caPep (0-40 μM, 72 h) significantly reduces the proportion of bromodeoxyuridine-positive cells in SK-N-BE (2) c cells, causes cell DNA replication arrest, inhibits SV40T antigen-mediated DNA replication, induces S-phase cell cycle arrest, and triggers cell apoptosis[1].
R9-caPep (60 μM; 72 h) induces cell death in most tested breast cancer cell lines, with the strongest effects observed in HCC1428 cells (49% increase in cell death) and MDA-MB-231 cells (47% increase in cell death), while exerting no significant effect on BT474 cells[2].
R9-caPep (75 μM, 0-72 h) induces progressive DNA damage and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. The level of γH2AX increases continuously starting at 24 h, and more than 70% of cells exhibit PARP cleavage by 72 h[2].
