    Abstract Introduction: Nebulization plays a key role in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. The Favorite function couple to jet nebulizers (AKITA®) emerged recently. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the lung delivery by the AKITA® by comparing the urinary concentration of amikacin after nebulization with the AKITA® and the eFlow rapid®, in healthy subjects and patients with CF (PwCF).
    Method: The two samples (healthy subjects and PwCF) were randomized (cross-over 1:1) for two nebulizations (500 mg of amikacin diluted in 4 mL of normal saline solution), with the AKITA® and with the eFlow rapid®. The primary endpoint was the amount of urinary excretion of amikacin over 24 h. The constant of elimination (Ke) was calculated based on the maximal cumulative urinary amikacin excretion plotted over time.
    Results: The total amount of urinary amikacin excretion was greater when AKITA® was used in PwCF (11.7 mg (8.2-14.1) vs 6.1 mg (3.7-13.3); p = 0.02) but not different in healthy subjects (14.5 mg (11.7-18.5) vs 12.4 mg (8.0-17.1); p = 0.12). The duration of the nebulization was always shorter with eFlow rapid® than with AKITA® (PwCF: 6.5 ± 0.6 min vs 9.2 ± 1.8 min; p = 0.001 - Healthy: 4.7 ± 1.3 min vs 9.7 ± 1.6 min; p = 0.03). The constant of elimination was similar between the two modalities in CF subjects (0.153 (0.071-0.205) vs 0.149 (0.041-0.182); p = 0.26) and in healthy subjects (0.166 (0.130-0.218) vs 0.167 (0.119-0.210), p = 0.25).
    Conclusion: the Favorite inhalation is better to deliver a specific amount of drug than a mesh nebulizer (eFlow rapid®) in PwCF but not in healthy subjects.

    Abstract The nasal potential difference test has been used for almost three decades to assist in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF). It has proven to be helpful in cases of attenuated, oligo- or mono-symptomatic forms of CF usually diagnosed later in life, and of CF-related disorders such as congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens, idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and bronchiectasis. In both clinical and preclinical settings, the test has been used as a biomarker to quantify responses to targeted therapeutic strategies for CF. Adapting the test to a mouse is challenging and can entail an associated mortality. This paper describes the adequate depth of anesthesia required to maintain a nasal catheter in situ for continuous perfusion. It lists measures to avoid broncho-aspiration of solutions perfused in the nose. It also describes the animal care at the end of the test, including administration of a combination of antidotes of the anesthetic drugs, leading to rapidly reversing the anesthesia with full recovery of the animals. Representative data obtained from a CF and a wild-type mouse show that the test discriminates between CF and non-CF. Altogether, the protocol described here allows reliable measurements of the functional status of trans-epithelial chloride and sodium transporters in spontaneously breathing mice, as well as multiple tests in the same animal while reducing test-related mortality.

    Abstract Despite great advances in the understanding of the genetics and pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis (CF), there is still no cure for the disease. Using phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, we and others have provided evidence of rescued F508del-CFTR trafficking and corrected deficient chloride transport activity. Studies using PDE5 inhibitors in mice homozygous for the clinically relevant F508del mutation have been conducted with the aim of restoring F508del-CFTR protein function. We demonstrated, by measuring transepithelial nasal potential difference in F508del mice following intraperitoneal injection of sildenafil, vardenafil or taladafil at clinical doses are able to restore the decreased CFTR-dependent chloride transport across the nasal mucosa. Moreover, vardenafil, but not sildenafil, stimulates chloride transport through the normal CFTR protein. We developed a specific nebulizer setup for mice, with which we demonstrated, through a single inhalation of PDE5 inhibitors, local activation of CFTR protein in CF. Significant potential advantages of inhalation drug therapy over oral or intravenous routes include rapid onset of pharmacological action, reduced systemic secondary effects and reduced effective drug doses compared to the drug delivered orally; this underlines the relevance and impact of our work for translational science. More recently, we analyzed the bronchoalveolar lavage of CF and wild-type mice for cell infiltrates and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines; we found that the CFTR activating effect of vardenafil, selected as a representative long-lasting PDE5 inhibitor, breaks the vicious circle of lung inflammation which plays a major role in morbi-mortality in CF. Our data highlight the potential use of PDE5 inhibitors in CF. Therapeutic approaches using clinically approved PDE5 inhibitors to address F508del-CFTR defects could speed up the development of new therapies for CF.

    Abstract The potential of eccrine sweat as a bio-fluid of interest for diagnosis and personalized therapy has not yet been fully evaluated, due to the lack of in-depth sweat characterization studies. Thanks to recent developments in omics, together with the availability of accredited sweat collection methods, the analysis of human sweat may now be envisioned as a standardized, non-invasive test for individualized monitoring and personalized medicine. Here, we characterized individual sweat samples, collected from 28 healthy adult volunteers under the most standardized sampling methodology, by applying optimized shotgun proteomics. The thorough characterization of the sweat proteome allowed the identification of 983 unique proteins from which 344 were identified across all samples. Annotation-wise, the study of the sweat proteome unveiled the over-representation of newly addressed actin dynamics, oxidative stress and proteasome-related functions, in addition to well-described proteolysis and anti-microbial immunity. The sweat proteome composition correlated with the inter-individual variability of sweat secretion parameters. In addition, both gender-exclusive proteins and gender-specific protein abundances were highlighted, despite the high similarity between human female and male sweat proteomes. In conclusion, standardized sample collection coupled with optimized shotgun proteomics significantly improved the depth of sweat proteome coverage, far beyond previous similar studies. The identified proteins were involved in many diverse biological processes and molecular functions, indicating the potential of this bio-fluid as a valuable biological matrix for further studies. Addressing sweat variability, our results prove the proteomic profiling of sweat to be a promising bio-fluid analysis for individualized, non-invasive monitoring and personalized medicine.

    Abstract In clinical routine, the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is still challenging regardless of international consensus on diagnosis guidelines and tests. For decades, the classical Gibson and Cooke test measuring sweat chloride concentration has been a keystone, yet, it may provide normal or equivocal results. As of now, despite the combination of sweat testing, CFTR genotyping, and CFTR functional testing, a small fraction (1–2%) of inconclusive diagnoses are reported and justifies the search for new CF biomarkers. More importantly, in the context of precision medicine, with a view to early diagnosis, better prognosis, appropriate clinical follow-up, and new therapeutic development, discovering companion biomarkers of CF severity and phenotypic rescue are of utmost interest. To date, previous sweat proteomic studies have already documented disease-specific variations of sweat proteins (e.g., in schizophrenia and tuberculosis). In the current study, sweat samples from 28 healthy control subjects and 14 patients with CF were analyzed by nanoUHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-based shotgun proteomics, to look for CF-associated changes in sweat protein composition and abundance. A total of 1057 proteins were identified and quantified at an individual level, by a shotgun label-free approach. Notwithstanding similar proteome composition, enrichment, and functional annotations, control and CF samples featured distinct quantitative proteome profiles significantly correlated with CF, accounting for the respective inter-individual variabilities of control and CF sweat. All in all: (i) 402 sweat proteins were differentially abundant between controls and patients with CF, (ii) 68 proteins varied in abundance between F508del homozygous patients and patients with another genotype, (iii) 71 proteins were differentially abundant according to the pancreatic function, and iv) 54 proteins changed in abundance depending on the lung function. The functional annotation of pathophysiological biomarkers highlighted eccrine gland cell perturbations in: ...
