1 Cystic Fibrosis Update More than Decades of Discovery Dr. Raj Padman Professor of Pediatric TJU Board certified in Pediatrics, Pulmonology, and Sleep Medicine Dupont, Kosciusko Community, Lutheran, Rehabilitation, St. Joseph and The Orthopedic hospitals are owned in part by physicians.

2 Road Map History of Cystic Fibrosis The genetics of Cystic Fibrosis Clinical manifestation relating to pathophysiology Genotype to phenotype correlation Translational medicine as applied to Cystic Fibrosis

3 Cystic Fibrosis Most common serious autosomal recessive disease Highest incidence in people of northern European Extraction- 1/3, 300

4 Historical Aspects Carrier rate of 5% Cystic Fibrosis is not a new disease First described in 1930 Dupont, Kosciusko Community, Lutheran, Rehabilitation, St. Joseph and The Orthopedic hospitals are owned in part by physicians.

5 Reference In Early Folklore Literature Schmidt folk philosophy salty taste meant a child was bewitched 1800 Pfyffer-Dictionary of Swiss and German language If it tastes salty when someone is kissed on the brow, then this person is hexed. Dupont, Kosciusko Community, Lutheran, Rehabilitation, St. Joseph and The Orthopedic hospitals are owned in part by physicians.

6 Cystic Fibrosis Rokitansky earliest description of meconium ileus, perforation and peritonitis Fanconi published first paper on CF. Described two children with bronchiectasis and pancreatic insufficiency Anderson published first comprehensive description of 49 patients with CF of the pancreas. Related it to Coeliac Disease Dupont, Kosciusko Community, Lutheran, Rehabilitation, St. Joseph and The Orthopedic hospitals are owned in part by physicians.

7 Cystic Fibrosis Farber generalized disease of the exocrine glands with inspissation of mucous secreting gland mucoviscidosis DiSant Agnese demonstrated an abnormally high level of sodium chloride in sweat Dupont, Kosciusko Community, Lutheran, Rehabilitation, St. Joseph and The Orthopedic hospitals are owned in part by physicians.

8 Cystic Fibrosis African Americans 1/16, 800 Hispanics 1/9, 600 Asians 1/12, 000 Orientals in Hawaii 1/90, 00 Orientals in Great Britain 1/10, 000 Cases reported from Africa and Saudia Arabia Dupont, Kosciusko Community, Lutheran, Rehabilitation, St. Joseph and The Orthopedic hospitals are owned in part by physicians.

19 Cystic Fibrosis Gene Isolated Lap Chi Tsui, Toronto Sick Children; Francis Collin-Ann Arbour, Michigan Chromosome 7q31; large size contain 27 exons; 250,000 base pairs >850 mutations identified 70% mutation deletion of three base pairs on tenth exon, loss of a single amino acid phenyl alanine at position 508 referred to as delta F508. Codes for cmp mediated chloride channel-cftr.

20 Site of CF Gene

21 F508 Mutation

22

23 Four Classes of CFTR Mutation Causing CF Class 1-defective protein production. Results from nonsense, frame shift due to insertions, deletions and splice site abnormalities Class II- defective processing. Most common CF mutation (delta F508) misfolded do not progress through biosynthetic pathway to cell membrane. Retained and degraded in endoplasmic reticulum Class III- defective regulation despite correct cellular localization, mutation in nucleotide binding domain. Channel opens less frequently. Abnormal response to ATP. Class IV- defective conduction, mutation in membrane spanning domain. Channel Correctly localized, normal regulation. Amount of concurrent is reduced.

45 What s New With CFTR? Intermolecular Interactions: CFTR is Linked to Binding Partners and Regulatory Networks!

46 Intermolecular Interactions Between the C-terminus of CFTR and Regulatory Network are Vital for CFTR Function!

61 CF Air Way Pro Inflammatory Mediators State Of Chronic Inflammation TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8,IL-17,IL-33.GM-CSF,G-CSF,HMGB-l TNF-α enhances neutrophil oxidative and secretory responses promotes cachexia associated with CF IL -1β- induces fever, stimulates acute phase responses promotes muscle protein catabolism TNF α and IL- 1β prime neutrophils, increasing their response to chemo attractants, surface expression of adhesion molecules CD11/CD18, ICAM-1 on endothelial cells GM-CSF delay neutrophil apoptosis and inhibit clearance of neutrophils from lung Pro inflammatory mediators integral component of inflammatory cascade

62 Complex Dysregulated Inflammatory Response In CF Involves multitude of stimuli, cells, signaling pathways transcription factors and products Most research in CF air way inflammation increased activation of inflammatory response Inability to terminate and resolve inflammation also plays a critical role CF air ways deficient in counter regulatory molecules IL-10, nitric oxide [NO].lipoxin-A2 [LXA2]

63 Anti Inflammatory Path Ways Inability To Terminate & Resolve Inflammation IL-10 terminates acute inflammatory response, down regulates production of pro inflammatory cytokines and chemokine's, inhibits pro inflammatory transcription factors induces neutrophil apoptosis T cell clones from CF patients compared to control produce less IL 10 after stimulation Decreased NO exacerbate abnormal ASL height, impair the ability of ASM to relax contribute to bronchial obstruction inhibit bacterial killing & promote inflammation Lipoxin-A4 lipid mediator promotes resolution of neutrophilic inflammation- reduced in stable CF pts.

97 Cystic Fibrosis Encouraging Developments From The World Of Translational Medicine

98 Translational Medicine: Often described as an effort to carry scientific knowledge from bench to bedside, translational medicine builds on basic research advancesstudies of biological processes using cell cultures, for example, or animal models and uses them to develop new therapies or medical procedures.

99 Translational Medicine: Applied to Cystic Fibrosis: The development of new therapies directly related to the underlying mechanisms of disease that have been discovered in the laboratory

100 What Might Protein Repair Therapy for CF Look Like? Vocabulary 101: - CFTR corrector: Allows mutant CFTR to properly fold and locate to the cell membrane - CFTR potentiator: Improves CFTR function to allow chloride conductance
