TLN468 changes the pattern of tRNA used to read through premature termination codons in CFTR
Résumé
We measured the readthrough induced by these two drugs with different cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) PTCs. We then determined the amino acids inserted at the S1196X, G542X, W846X and E1417X PTCs of CFTR during readthrough induced by gentamicin or TLN468. TLN468 significantly promoted the incorporation of one specific amino acid, whereas gentamicin did not greatly modify the proportions of the various amino acids incorporated relative to basal conditions. The function of the engineered missense CFTR channels corresponding to these four PTCs was assessed with and without potentiator. For the recoded CFTR, except for E1417Q and G542W, the PTC readthrough induced by TLN468 allowed the expression of CFTR variants that were correctly processed and had significant activity that was enhanced by CFTR modulators. These results suggest that it would be relevant to assess the therapeutic benefit of TLN468 PTC suppression in combination with CFTR modulators in preclinical assays.
