Long term in vitro expansion of epithelial stem cells enabled by pharmacological inhibition of PAK1-ROCK-Myosin II and TGF-β signaling [PDF]

, 2018
Summary: Despite substantial self-renewal capability in vivo, epithelial stem and progenitor cells located in various tissues expand for a few passages in vitro in feeder-free condition before they succumb to growth arrest.

Ligand-based virtual-screening identified a novel CFTR ligand which improves the defective cell surface expression of misfolded ABC transporters

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenetic disease caused by the mutation of CFTR, a cAMP-regulated Cl− channel expressing at the apical plasma membrane (PM) of epithelia.

Small-molecule eRF3a degraders rescue CFTR nonsense mutations by promoting premature termination codon readthrough

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
The vast majority of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are now eligible for CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy. The remaining individuals with CF harbor premature termination codons (PTCs) or rare CFTR variants with limited treatment ...

Antisense oligonucleotide targeting the E3 ligase RFFL potentiates CFTR modulator efficacy in CF primary bronchial epithelial cells

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is most commonly caused by the ΔF508 mutation in the CFTR gene, leading to misfolding and degradation of the CFTR protein. Although CFTR modulators such as elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) provide clinical benefit, their ...

Correction of CFTR function in nasal epithelial cells from cystic fibrosis patients predicts improvement of respiratory function by CFTR modulators

Scientific Reports, 2017
Clinical studies with modulators of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein have demonstrated that functional restoration of the mutated CFTR can lead to substantial clinical benefit.

Experience to date with CFTR modulators during pregnancy and breastfeeding in the British Columbia Cystic Fibrosis clinic

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
The introduction and rapid uptake of CFTR modulator therapy, in addition to other treatments, has significantly increased life expectancy in CF and provided more women the opportunity to consider and successfully be managed throughout pregnancy. There is

CFTR Modulators: The Changing Face of Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Precision Medicine

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal inherited disease caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which result in impairment of CFTR mRNA and protein expression, function, stability or a combination of these.

Non‐pulmonary CFTR‐related symptom improvement with ivacaftor in p.Phe508del/p.Arg117His (7T) cystic fibrosis

Respirology Case Reports, 2023
Diagnosis and management of CRMS/CFSPID and cystic fibrosis (CF) with mild phenotypes remains challenging, and this extends to expanding practice with the use of CFTR modulators.
