A genomic signature approach to rescue ?F508-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator biosynthesis and function.


ABSTRACT: The most common cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation, ?F508, 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 ?F508-CFTR function in CF airway epithelia. We hypothesized that a genomic signature approach can be used to identify new bioactive small molecules affecting ?F508-CFTR rescue. The Connectivity Map was used to identify 27 small molecules with potential to restore ?F508-CFTR function in airway epithelia. The molecules were screened in vitro for efficacy in improving ?F508-CFTR trafficking, maturation, and chloride current. We identified four small molecules that partially restore ?F508-CFTR function in primary CF airway epithelia. Of these, pyridostigmine showed cooperativity with corrector compound 18 in improving ?F508-CFTR function. There are few CF therapies based on new molecular insights. Querying the Connectivity Map with relevant genomic signatures offers a method to identify new candidates for rescuing ?F508-CFTR function.
