项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited loss-of-function childhood disease in protein homeostasis (proteostasis). CF is caused principally by the Phe 508 deletion in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (?F508 CFTR), a multi-membrane spanning, cAMP-regulated chloride channel. Misfolding and efficient degradation of ?F508 in the endoplasmic reticulum, the first step in the exocytic pathway, reduces the stability of the protein resulting in the loss of cell surface conductance, premature lung failure and shortened lifespan. CF is a member of a large group of misfolding diseases including childhood emphysema, lysosomal storage deficiencies, type II diabetes and neurodegenerative pathologies associated with aging that are defective in proteostasis. We now show that by modulating the epigenome with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACi), we can reprogram the lung cell environment to achieve a productive balance between the rate of ?F508 synthesis, folding, degradation and trafficking leading to conductance (function) at the cell surface. This corrective event occurs upon treatment of primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells obtained from ?F homozygous patients (HBE-CF-(?F/?F) with the clinically approved HDACi SAHA to a level of functional cell surface channel activity that is considered corrective for disease. Specific knockdown by small interfering (si)-RNA of HDAC7 results in recovery of conductance in lung cells, suggesting that only a subset of HDAC activities modulates CFTR folding, stability, trafficking and function. We suggest that HVACs control a transcriptional program that is linked to proteostasis to achieve folding, stability, trafficking and function of ?F508 that can be protective for CF. In this proposal, we propose to develop specific small molecules to inhibit HDAC7 function (Aim 1) and to explore the role of HDAC7 in CF biology (Aim 2). Use of HDACi to chemically modulate linked transcriptional and protein homeostasis environments is anticipated to have high impact on correction of human misfolding disease. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited loss-of-function childhood disease caused by mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (?F508 CFTR), a critical chloride channel in the lung. Misfolding and degradation of the mutant channel results in the loss of cell surface conductance, premature lung failure and shortened lifespan. We show that by modulating the cellular epigenome (events that control gene expression in the nucleus through modification of DNA organization), we can reprogram the lung cell environment to correct disease, demonstrating that pharmacological modulation of the protein composition of the cell through a novel group of drugs can have a high impact on correction of human misfolding disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：囊性纤维化（CF）是一种遗传性的蛋白质稳态（蛋白质稳态）功能丧失的儿童疾病。 CF 主要是由囊性纤维化跨膜电导调节因子 (?F508 CFTR) 中的 Phe 508 缺失引起，囊性纤维化跨膜电导调节因子是一种跨膜、cAMP 调节的氯离子通道。内质网中 ?F508 的错误折叠和有效降解（胞吐途径的第一步）降低了蛋白质的稳定性，导致细胞表面电导丧失、过早肺衰竭和寿命缩短。 CF 是一大类错误折叠疾病的一员，包括儿童肺气肿、溶酶体储存缺陷、II 型糖尿病和与衰老相关的蛋白质稳态缺陷的神经退行性疾病。我们现在表明，通过用组蛋白脱乙酰酶 (HDAC) 抑制剂 (HDACi) 调节表观基因组，我们可以重新编程肺细胞环境，以实现 F508 合成、折叠、降解和运输速率之间的有效平衡，从而导致电导（功能）在细胞表面。使用临床批准的 HDACi SAHA 将取自 ?F 纯合患者 (HBE-CF-(?F/?F) 的原代人支气管上皮 (HBE) 细胞处理至功能性细胞表面通道活性水平，即HDAC7 的小干扰 (si)-RNA 的特异性敲除可导致肺细胞电导恢复，这表明只有 HDAC 活性的一个子集可调节 CFTR 折叠、稳定性、运输和功能。我们建议 HVAC 控制与蛋白质稳态相关的转录程序，以实现可保护 CF 的折叠、稳定性、运输和功能。在本提案中，我们建议开发特定的小分子来抑制 HDAC7 功能。目标 1) 并探索 HDAC7 在 CF 生物学中的作用（目标 2），预计使用 HDACi 化学调节相关转录和蛋白质稳态环境将对人类校正产生重大影响。错误折叠疾病。公共健康相关性：囊性纤维化 (CF) 是一种遗传性儿童功能丧失性疾病，由囊性纤维化跨膜电导调节因子 (?F508 CFTR) 突变引起，囊性纤维化跨膜电导调节因子是肺部的关键氯离子通道。突变通道的错误折叠和降解会导致细胞表面电导丧失、过早肺衰竭和寿命缩短。我们证明，通过调节细胞表观基因组（通过修改 DNA 组织来控制细胞核内基因表达的事件），我们可以重新编程肺细胞环境以纠正疾病，证明通过一种新的组对细胞蛋白质组成的药理学调节药物对纠正人类错误折叠疾病有很大影响。
