    Abstract To find a cure for cystic fibrosis, there has been tremendous progress in the development of treatments that target the basic defect in the protein channel, CFTR. However, 10% of cystic fibrosis patients have rare CFTR mutations that are still without an approved CFTR-targeting drug. To identify relevant therapies for these patients, culture models using nasal, bronchial, and rectal tissue from individual patients allow functional, biochemical, and cellular detection of drug-rescued CFTR. Additionally, novel systems such as induced pluripotent stem cell-derived models are utilized to characterize CFTR mutations and identify treatments. State-of-the-art translational models were instrumental for CFTR modulator development and may become important for gene-based drug discovery and other novel therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Defective CFTR biogenesis and activity in cystic fibrosis airways leads to airway dehydration and impaired mucociliary clearance, resulting in chronic airway infection and inflammation. Most cystic fibrosis patients have at least one copy of the F508del CFTR mutation, which results in a protein retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and degraded by the proteosomal pathway. CFTR modulators, e.g., correctors, promote the transfer of F508del to the apical membrane, while potentiators increase CFTR activity. Corrector and potentiator double therapies modestly improve lung function, whereas triple therapies with two correctors and one potentiator indicate improved outcomes. Enhanced F508del rescue by CFTR modulators is achieved by exposing F508del/F508del primary cultures of human bronchial epithelia to relevant inflammatory stimuli, i.e., supernatant from mucopurulent material or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from human cystic fibrosis airways. Inflammation enhances the biochemical and functional rescue of F508del by double or triple CFTR modulator therapy and overcomes abrogation of CFTR correction by chronic VX-770 treatment in vitro. Furthermore, the impact of inflammation on clinical outcomes linked to CFTR rescue has been recently suggested. This review discusses these data and possible mechanisms for airway inflammation-enhanced F508del rescue. Expanding the understanding of how airway inflammation improves CFTR rescue may benefit cystic fibrosis patients.

    Abstract Remarkable progress in CFTR research has led to the therapeutic development of modulators that rescue the basic defect in cystic fibrosis. There is continuous interest in studying CFTR molecular disease mechanisms as not all cystic fibrosis patients have a therapeutic option available. Addressing the basis of the problem by comprehensively understanding the critical molecular associations of CFTR interactions remains key. With the availability of CFTR modulators, there is interest in comprehending which interactions are critical to rescue CFTR and which are altered by modulators or CFTR mutations. Here, the current knowledge on interactions that govern CFTR folding, processing, and stability is summarized. Furthermore, we describe protein complexes and signal pathways that modulate the CFTR function. Primary epithelial cells display a spatial control of the CFTR interactions and have become a common system for preclinical and personalized medicine studies. Strikingly, the novel roles of CFTR in development and differentiation have been recently uncovered and it has been revealed that specific CFTR gene interactions also play an important role in transcriptional regulation. For a comprehensive understanding of the molecular environment of CFTR, it is important to consider CFTR mutation-dependent interactions as well as factors affecting the CFTR interactome on the cell type, tissue-specific, and transcriptional levels.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel that perturb anion transport across the epithelia of the airways and other organs. To treat cystic fibrosis, strategies that target mutant CFTR have been developed such as correctors that rescue folding and enhance transfer of CFTR to the apical membrane, and potentiators that increase CFTR channel activity. While there has been tremendous progress in development and approval of CFTR therapeutics for the most common (F508del) and several other CFTR mutations, around 10-20% of people with cystic fibrosis have rare mutations that are still without an effective treatment. In the current decade, there was an impressive evolution of patient-derived cell models for precision medicine. In cystic fibrosis, these models have played a crucial role in characterizing the molecular defects in CFTR mutants and identifying compounds that target these defects. Cells from nasal, bronchial, and rectal epithelia are most suitable to evaluate treatments that target CFTR. In vitro assays using cultures grown at an air-liquid interface or as organoids and spheroids allow the diagnosis of the CFTR defect and assessment of potential treatment strategies. An overview of currently established cell culture models and assays for personalized medicine approaches in cystic fibrosis will be provided in this review. These models allow theratyping of rare CFTR mutations with available modulator compounds to predict clinical efficacy. Besides evaluation of individual personalized responses to CFTR therapeutics, patient-derived culture models are valuable for testing responses to developmental treatments such as novel RNA- and DNA-based therapies.

    Abstract The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains a serious public health problem and will continue to be until effective drugs and/or vaccines are available. The rational development of drugs critically depends on our understanding of disease mechanisms, that is, the physiology and pathophysiology underlying the function of the organ targeted by the virus. Since the beginning of the pandemic, tireless efforts around the globe have led to numerous publications on the virus, its receptor, its entry into the cell, its cytopathic effects, and how it triggers innate and native immunity but the role of apical sodium transport mediated by the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) during the early phases of the infection in the airways has received little attention. We propose a pathophysiological model that defines the possible role of ENaC in this process.
