Small molecules as shown by VX809 can rescue the mislocalization of F508del-CFTR. The aim of this study was to identify correctors with a clinical history and their targets of action.
CFTR correctors were screened using two F508del-CFTR expressing cell based HTS assays. Electrophysiological studies using CFBE41o(-) and HBE cells and in-vivo mouse assays confirmed CFTR rescue. The target of action was attained using pharmacological inhibitors and siRNA to specific genes.
Ibuprofen was identified as a CFTR corrector. Ibuprofen treatment of polarized CFBE41o(-) monolayers increased the short-circuit current (Isc) response to stimulation. In vivo CF mice treatment with ibuprofen restored the CFTR trafficking. SiRNA knock down of cyclooxygenase expression caused partial F508del-CFTR correction.
These studies show that ibuprofen is a CFTR corrector and that it causes correction by COX-1 inhibition. Hence ibuprofen may be suitable to be part of a future CF combination therapy.
VX809 等小分子可纠正 F508del-CFTR 的定位错误。本研究旨在寻找具有临床应用史的校正剂及其作用靶点。
采用两种 F508del-CFTR 表达细胞的高通量筛选检测方法筛选 CFTR 校正剂。采用 CFBE41o(-) 和 HBE 细胞进行电生理研究,并在体内小鼠模型中进行验证,以确认 CFTR 的恢复情况。采用药理学抑制剂和特定基因的 siRNA 来确定作用靶点。
布洛芬被鉴定为 CFTR 校正剂。布洛芬处理极化 CFBE41o(-) 单层细胞可增加刺激引起的短路电流(Isc)反应。体内 CF 小鼠用布洛芬处理可恢复 CFTR 转运。环氧合酶表达的 siRNA 敲低可部分纠正 F508del-CFTR。
这些研究表明布洛芬是 CFTR 校正剂,通过 COX-1 抑制发挥作用。因此,布洛芬可能适合作为未来 CF 联合治疗的一部分。
