    The CIB1R peptide, derived from neprilysin, was evaluated for its effects on lung cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro.

  • 2

    CIB1R reduced cell migration and invasion in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner without significantly affecting cell viability.

  • 3

    Similar inhibitory effects were observed with related peptides, indicating that the activity may not be strictly sequence-specific.

  • 4

    All peptides demonstrated strong cell-associated fluorescence signals, but the study could not definitively distinguish their localization.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that short cationic peptides from neprilysin's cytoplasmic domain can modulate tumor progression-related behaviors.
