Elexacaftor/VX-445-mediated CFTR interactome remodeling reveals differential correction driven by mutation-specific translational dynamics. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:105242. [PMID: 37690692 PMCID: PMC10579539 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most prevalent lethal genetic diseases with over 2000 identified mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Pharmacological chaperones such as lumacaftor (VX-809), tezacaftor (VX-661), and elexacaftor (VX-445) treat mutation-induced defects by stabilizing CFTR and are called correctors. These correctors improve proper folding and thus facilitate processing and trafficking to increase the amount of functional CFTR on the cell surface. Yet, CFTR variants display differential responses to each corrector. Here, we report that variants P67L and L206W respond similarly to VX-809 but divergently to VX-445 with P67L exhibiting little rescue when treated with VX-445. We investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms of how CFTR biogenesis is altered by correctors in these variants. Affinity purification-mass spectrometry multiplexed with isobaric tandem mass tags was used to quantify CFTR protein-protein interaction changes between variants P67L and L206W. VX-445 facilitates unique proteostasis factor interactions especially in translation, folding, and degradation pathways in a CFTR variant-dependent manner. A number of these interacting proteins knocked down by siRNA, such as ribosomal subunit proteins, moderately rescued fully glycosylated P67L. Importantly, these knockdowns sensitize P67L to VX-445 and further enhance the trafficking correction of this variant. Partial inhibition of protein translation also mildly sensitizes P67L CFTR to VX-445 correction, supporting a role for translational dynamics in the rescue mechanism of VX-445. Our results provide a better understanding of VX-445 biological mechanism of action and reveal cellular targets that may sensitize nonresponsive CFTR variants to known and available correctors.

Abstract
Cystatin SN, encoded by CST1, belongs to the type 2 (T2) cystatin protein superfamily. In the past decade, several publications have highlighted the association between cystatin SN and inflammatory airway diseases including chronic rhinosinusitis, rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It is, therefore, crucial to understand the role of cystatin SN in the wider context of T2 inflammatory diseases. Here, we review the expression of cystatin SN in airway-related diseases with different endotypes. We also emphasize the physiological and pathological roles of cystatin SN. Physiologically, cystatin SN protects host tissues from destructive proteolysis by cysteine proteases present in the external environment or produced via internal dysregulated expression. Pathologically, the secretion of cystatin SN from airway epithelial cells initiates and amplifies T2 immunity and subsequently leads to disease. We further discuss the development of cystatin SN as a T2 immunity marker that can be monitored noninvasively and assist in airway disease management. The discovery, biology, and inhibition capability are also introduced to better understand the role of cystatin SN in airway diseases.

Translating in vitro CFTR rescue into small molecule correctors for cystic fibrosis using the Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures drug discovery platform. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol 2022; 11:240-251.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The common ΔF508-CFTR mutation results in protein misfolding and proteasomal degradation. If ΔF508-CFTR trafficks to the cell surface, its anion channel function may be partially restored. Several in vitro strategies can partially correct ΔF508-CFTR trafficking and function, including low-temperature, small molecules, overexpression of miR-138, or knockdown of SIN3A. The challenge remains to translate such interventions into therapies and to understand their mechanisms. One approach for connecting such interventions to small molecule therapies that has previously succeeded for CF and other diseases is via mRNA expression profiling and iterative searches of small molecules with similar expression signatures. Here, we query the Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures using transcriptomic signatures from previously generated CF expression data, including RNAi- and low temperature-based rescue signatures. This LINCS in silico screen prioritized 135 small molecules that mimicked our rescue interventions based on their genomewide transcriptional perturbations. Functional screens of these small molecules identified eight compounds that partially restored ΔF508-CFTR function, as assessed by cAMP-activated chloride conductance. Of these, XL147 rescued ΔF508-CFTR function in primary CF airway epithelia, while also showing cooperativity when administered with C18. Improved CF corrector therapies are needed and this integrative drug prioritization approach offers a novel method to both identify small molecules that may rescue ΔF508-CFTR function and identify gene networks underlying such rescue.
