The most common cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation, ΔF508, causes protein misfolding, leading to proteosomal degradation. We recently showed that expression of miR-138 enhances CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) biogenesis and partially rescues ΔF508-CFTR function in CF airway epithelia. We hypothesized that a genomic signature approach can be used to identify new bioactive small molecules affecting ΔF508-CFTR rescue. The Connectivity Map was used to identify 27 small molecules with potent ...[more]
