Rescue of CF airway epithelial cell function in vitro by a CFTR potentiator, VX-770

TL;DR: In vitro pharmacology of VX-770, an orally bioavailable CFTR potentiator in clinical development for the treatment of CF, supports the hypothesis that pharmacological agents that restore or increase CFTR function can rescue epithelial cell function in human CF airway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of the F508del-CFTR protein processing defect in vitro by the investigational drug VX-809

TL;DR: F508del-CFTR corrected by VX-809 exhibited biochemical and functional characteristics similar to normal CFTR, including biochemical susceptibility to proteolysis, residence time in the plasma membrane, and single-channel open probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rescue of ΔF508-CFTR trafficking and gating in human cystic fibrosis airway primary cultures by small molecules

TL;DR: Two classes of novel, potent small molecules identified from screening compound libraries that restore the function of DeltaF508-CFTR in both recombinant cells and cultures of human bronchial epithelia isolated from CF patients are described.
