Exon-Skipping Antisense Oligonucleotides for Cystic Fibrosis Therapy

Abstract: Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF), and the CFTR-W1282X nonsense mutation causes a severe form of CF. Although Trikafta and other CFTR-modulation therapies benefit most CF patients, targeted therapy for patients with the W1282X mutation is lacking. The CFTR-W1282X protein has residual activity, but is expressed at a very low level due to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). NMD-suppression therapy and read-through therapy are actively bein… Show more

“…Alternatively, exon-skipping ASOs can restore CFTR function in HBE cells harboring the W1282X mutation by inducing the skipping of the exon containing the PTC. The resulting CFTR-Δ23 mRNA isoform, which lacks the in-frame exon 23 with the W1282X mutation, is not degraded by NMD (Kim et al, 2022b;Michaels et al, 2022;Oren et al, 2022). CFTR-Δ 23 protein lack residues 1240 through 1291, but retains func- tional domains important for CFTR function that are missing in CFTR-W1282X protein (Kim et al, 2022b).…”

“…The transfection of these molecules in bronchial epithelial cells of patients with CF leads to an increase of CFTR expression and activity [79]. AON strategy was recently applied to promote exon skipping of exon 23 to eliminate the W1282X nonsense mutation and to avoid RNA degradation induced by the NMD mechanism [81][82][83].…”
