Project description:CFTR plasmid constructs were transfected in CF Bronchial IB3 cell cultures using Lipofectamine 2000™. Global gene mRNA expression profiles at 48 hr after transfection were created with the Affymetrix U133 chip set.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is an increasingly common and devastating comorbidity of CF, affecting ~35% of adults with CF. However, the underlying causes of CFRD are unclear. Here, we examined cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) islet expression and whether the CFTR participates in islet endocrine cell function using murine models of b cell CFTR deletion, and normal and CF human pancreas and islets. Specific deletion of CFTR from murine b cells did not affect b cell function. In human islets, CFTR mRNA was minimally expressed, and CFTR protein/electrical activity was not detected. Isolated CF/CFRD islets demonstrated appropriate insulin and glucagon secretion with few changes in key islet-regulatory transcripts. Furthermore, ~65% of b cell area was lost in CF donors, compounded by pancreatic remodeling and immune infiltration of the islet. These results indicate that CFRD is not caused by intrinsic islet dysfunction from CFTR mutation, but rather, by b cell loss and intra-islet inflammation in the setting of a complex pleiotropic disease

Project description:To unravel CFTR function in endothelial cells (HUVECs), we used two complementary approaches to induce CFTR blockade: (i) the allosteric CFTR inhibitor CFTRinh-(172) which is commonly used in CF research, and (ii) CFTR-specific short hairpin RNAs (shRNA).

Project description:Inflammation, acinar cell destruction, and ductal cell hyperplasia drive pancreatic remodeling in newborns with cystic fibrosis (CF) lacking a functional CFTR channel. In neonatal CF ferrets, these changes are associated with a transient phase of glucose intolerance that involves islet destruction and subsequent regeneration near hyperplastic ducts. Little is known about the phenotypic changes in CF ductal epithelium and its potential impact on islet function. Using bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and ATAC-seq on CF ferret models, we demonstrate that ductal CFTR protein constrains PDX1 expression by maintaining PTEN and GSK3b activation. In the absence of CFTR protein, centroacinar cells (or terminal ductal cells) adopted a bi-potent progenitor-like state associated with enhanced WNT/b-Catenin, TGFb and AKT signaling. Notably, using in vitro and in vivo hypomorphic models of mutant CFTR expression, we show that the level of CFTR protein, not its channel function, regulates PDX1 expression. Thus, this study has discovered a cell-autonomous CFTR-dependent mechanism by which CFTR mutations that produced little to no protein could impact pancreatic exocrine/endocrine remodeling in people with CF.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening genetic disease caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Despite reports of CFTR expression on endothelial cells, pulmonary vascular perturbations, and perfusion deficit in CF patients, the mechanism of pulmonary vascular disease in CF remains unclear. Here, we describe loss of small pulmonary blood vessels in CF patients with severe lung disease. Using a vessel-on-a-chip model, we establish a shear stress-dependent mechanism of endothelial barrier failure in CF involving calcium-permeable mechanosensitive channel TRPV4. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CFTR deficiency downregulates the function of PIEZO1, another calcium-permeable mechanosensitive channel involved in angiogenesis and wound repair, and further exacerbates loss of small pulmonary blood vessels. We show that CFTR directly interacts with PIEZO1 and enhances its function, and that CFTR deficiency reduces PIEZO1 activity. Our study identifies key cellular targets to mitigate loss of small pulmonary blood vessels in CF.

Project description:Background. Accumulating evidence indicates that CFTR modulators can be effective for CF sufferers. However, in vivo the microRNAs that regulate CFTR are increased in the CF lung milieu and this can nullify the beneficial effects of CFTR modulators. Methods. A panel of target site blockers (TSBs) designed against the CFTR 3’untranslated region (UTR) were tested for their ability to increase CFTR expression by CFTR 3’UTR luciferase assay and western blot. The effect of two lead TSBs on CFTR activity were tested alone or in combination with selected CFTR modulators in four separate p.Phe508del/p.Phe508del in vitro and ex vivo models (CFBE41o-, Cufi-1, primary bronchial epithelial cells, iPSC-derived lung organoids). Respirable poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles encapsulating the TSBs were formulated and tested. Findings. TSBs that target the miR-145-5p or miR-223-3p binding sites at positons 298-305 and 166-173 in the CFTR 3’UTR, respectively, increased CFTR expression and CFTR anion channel activity, and enhance the effects of Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor or Lumacftor/Tezacaftor in CF BECs. PLGAs encapsulating the TSBs promote CFTR expression in primary BECs and retain their biophysical characteristics following nebulization. Interpretation. Alone or in combination with CFTR modulators, CFTR-targeting TSBs encapsulated in PLGA nanoparticles and nebulized to the lung could overcome microRNA-mediated inhibition of CFTR in CF bronchial epithelium. This strategy represents a promising drug-device combination therapy for the treatment for CFTR dysfunction in the lung.

Project description:The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells has been broadly used in studying the disease mechanism and development process. We previously described a method for differentiating human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into salivary gland epithelial progenitors (SGEPs). Here, to investigate whether the hPSCs-derived SGEPs are capable of modeling the characteristics of cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease impact SG function caused by mutation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, the CFTR knockout hPSCs were differentiated into CF-SGEPs using the same protocol. Firstly, we successfully generated CFTR knockout hPSCs with reduced CFTR protein expression using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. After 16-day of differentiation, the protein expression of CFTR was also decreased in SGEPs generated from CFTR knockout hPSCs. RNA-sequencing shows that multiple genes modulating SG development, function and were down-regulated and positive regulators of inflammation were up-regulated in CF-SGEPs, which was correlated with salivary phenotype in CF patients. These results demonstrated that suppression of CFTR disrupted the differentiation of hPSCs-derived SGEPs, which modeled the SG development of patients with CF. In summary, this study not only provided the proof that the hPSCs-derived SGEPs could serve as manipulatable and easily accessible models to study the SG developmental diseases, but also provided new avenues for the study of the CF mechanism.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF), caused by mutations to CFTR, leads to severe and progressive lung disease. The most common mutant, ΔF508-CFTR, undergoes proteasomal degradation, depleting its anion channel function. “Proteostasis” pathways, i.e. those relevant to protein processing and trafficking, are altered in cells with ΔF508-CFTR and can be modulated to partially rescue protein function. However, many details regarding proteostasis modulation, and its relevance to CF and ΔF508-CFTR rescue, remain poorly understood. To shed light on this, we re-analyzed public datasets characterizing transcription in CF vs. non-CF epithelia from human and pig airways, and also profiled established temperature, genetic, and chemical interventions that rescue ΔF508-CFTR. Meta-analysis yielded a core disease signature and two core rescue signatures. To interpret these, we compiled proteostasis pathways and an original “CFTR Gene Set Library”. The disease signature revealed differential regulation of mTORC1 signaling, endocytosis, and proteasomal degradation. Overlaying functional genomics data identified candidate mediators of low-temperature rescue, while multiple rescue strategies converged on activation of unfolded protein response pathways. Remarkably, however, C18, an analog of the CFTR corrector compound Lumacaftor, induced minimal transcriptional perturbation despite its rescue activity. This work elucidates the involvement of proteostasis in both disease and rescue perturbations while highlighting that not all CFTR rescue interventions act on transcription.
