Correctors Rescue CFTR Mutations in Nucleotide-Binding Domain 1 (NBD1) by Modulating Proteostasis.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated whether small molecule correctors could rescue four nucleotide-binding domain?1 (NBD1) mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (A455E, S492F, ?I507, and R560T). We first transfected Cos-7 cells (green monkey kidney cells) with A455E, S492F, ?I507, or R560T and created HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney cells) cell lines stably expressing these CFTR mutations. The mutants showed lowered protein expression, instability at physiological temperature, and rapid degradation. After treatment with correctors CFFT-002, CFFT-003, C3, C4, and/or C18, the combination of C18+C4 showed the most correction and resulted in increased CFTR residing in the plasma membrane. We found a profound decrease in binding of CFTR to histone deacetylases (HDAC) 6 and 7 and heat shock proteins (Hsps) 27 and 40. Silencing Hsp27 or 40 rescued the mutants, but no additional amount of CFTR was rescued when both proteins were knocked down simultaneously. Thus, CFTR mutations in NBD1 can be rescued by a combination of correctors, and the treatment alters the interaction between mutated CFTR and the endoplasmic reticulum machinery.

We evaluated whether small molecule correctors could rescue four nucleotide-binding domain 1 (NBD1) mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (A455E, S492F, ΔI507, and R560T). We first transfected Cos-7 cells (green monkey kidney cells) with A455E, S492F, ΔI507, or R560T and created HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney cells) cell lines stably expressing these CFTR mutations.

Project description:Premature-termination codons (PTCs) in CFTR (cystic fibrosis [CF] transmembrane conductance regulator) result in nonfunctional CFTR protein and are the proximate cause of ∼11% of CF-causing alleles, for which no treatments exist. The CFTR corrector lumacaftor and the potentiator ivacaftor improve CFTR function with terminal PTC mutations and enhance the effect of readthrough agents. Novel correctors GLPG2222 (corrector 1 [C1]), GLPG3221 (corrector 2 [C2]), and potentiator GLPG1837 compare favorably with lumacaftor and ivacaftor in vitro. Here, we evaluated the effect of correctors C1a and C2a (derivatives of C1 and C2) and GLPG1837 alone or in combination with the readthrough compound G418 on CFTR function using heterologous Fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells, the genetically engineered human bronchial epithelial (HBE) 16HBE14o- cell lines, and primary human cells with PTC mutations. In FRT lines pretreated with G418, GLPG1837 elicited dose-dependent increases in CFTR activity that exceeded those from ivacaftor in FRT-W1282X and FRT-R1162X cells. A three-mechanism strategy consisting of G418, GLPG1837, and two correctors (C1a + C2a) yielded the greatest functional improvements in FRT and 16HBE14o- PTC variants, noting that correction and potentiation without readthrough was sufficient to stimulate CFTR activity for W1282X cells. GLPG1837 + C1a + C2a restored substantial function in G542X/F508del HBE cells and restored even more function for W1282X/F508del cells, largely because of the corrector/potentiator effect, with no additional benefit from G418. In G542X/R553X or R1162X/R1162X organoids, enhanced forskolin-induced swelling was observed with G418 + GLPG1837 + C1a + C2a, although GLPG1837 + C1a + C2a alone was sufficient to improve forskolin-induced swelling in W1282X/W1282X organoids. Combination of CFTR correctors, potentiators, and readthrough compounds augments the functional repair of CFTR nonsense mutations, indicating the potential for novel correctors and potentiators to restore function to truncated W1282X CFTR.

Project description:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channel. Mutations in CFTR cause impaired chloride ion transport in the epithelial tissues of patients leading to cardiopulmonary decline and pancreatic insufficiency in the most severely affected patients. CFTR is composed of twelve membrane-spanning domains, two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), and a regulatory domain. The most common mutation in CFTR is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 (ΔF508) in NBD1. Previous research has primarily concentrated on the structure and dynamics of the NBD1 domain; However numerous pathological mutations have also been found in the lesser-studied NBD2 domain. We have investigated the amino acid co-evolved network of interactions in NBD2, and the changes that occur in that network upon the introduction of CF and CF-related mutations (S1251N(T), S1235R, D1270N, N1303K(T)). Extensive coupling between the α- and β-subdomains were identified with residues in, or near Walker A, Walker B, H-loop and C-loop motifs. Alterations in the predicted residue network varied from moderate for the S1251T perturbation to more severe for N1303T. The S1235R and D1270N networks varied greatly compared to the wildtype, but these CF mutations only affect ion transport preference and do not severely disrupt CFTR function, suggesting dynamic flexibility in the network of interactions in NBD2. Our results also suggest that inappropriate interactions between the β-subdomain and Q-loop could be detrimental. We also identified mutations predicted to stabilize the NBD2 residue network upon introduction of the CF and CF-related mutations, and these predicted mutations are scored as benign by the MUTPRED2 algorithm. Our results suggest the level of disruption of the co-evolution predictions of the amino acid networks in NBD2 does not have a straightforward correlation with the severity of the CF phenotypes observed.
