Intestinal Current Measurement to Assess Modulation of F508del-CFTR Function

Intestinal current measurement (ICM) in rectal biopsies is merging as a valuable diagnostic and efficacy parameter for cystic fibrosis (CF). ICM may facilitate CF
identification or genotype classification, when more traditional tests such as sweat chloride or FEV1 are equivocal. ICM also has been shown to be a valuable tool for assessment of CFTR dysfunction and pharmacological modulation of CFTR in CF mouse models.

In this study, ICM was used to explore F508del-CFTR corrector activity of a novel small molecule inhibitor of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR). GSNOR regulates intracellular levels of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), recognized as an important molecule in CF via its ability to influence CFTR maturation and function. More…(481Kb)
