Primary airway epithelial cells expanded with feeder cells and ROCK inhibitor for screening novel GSNOR inhibitors and CFTR correctors

Peter F. Bove, Kirsten M. Look, Michael A. Suniga, Xicheng Sun, and Sherif E. Gabriel

The current cell culture technology limits our ability to indefinitely expand primary human airway epithelial (HAE) cells while retaining their cell-specific phenotype and function. Controlled experiments of primary non-CF and cystic fibrosis (CF)-derived HAE cells determined that they retain primary culture morphology and functional properties for only a few passages (up to passage 2), thereby limiting the number of critical in vitro experiments performed.

Therefore, the ability to markedly increase the supply of functionally relevant primary HAE cells derived from patients with various CF mutations (i.e. ΔF508, G551D, R117H, etc.) will allow for a significant increase in additional future studies designed to evaluate essential therapeutics for mutation specific CFTR correction or potentiation.
