Brief Summary: Suppression of stop mutations in the CFTR gene with parenteral gentamicin can be predicted in vitro and is associated with clinical benefit and significant modification of the CFTR-mediated chloride transport in nasal and sweat gland epithelium
Detailed Description: Background This study was conducted to determine whether intravenous gentamicin can suppress stop codons in cystic fibrosis CF patients and if so whether it has any clinical benefits

Methods We first used a dual gene reporter system to determine the gentamicin-induced readthrough level of the most frequent CFTR stop mutations in the French population We next investigated readthrough efficiency in response to 10 mgkg once daily intravenous gentamicin perfusions in patients with stop mutations and in a control group of patients without stop mutations Respiratory function sweat chloride concentration nasal potential difference NPD and CFTR expression in nasal epithelial cells were measured at baseline and after 15 days of treatment

Results After in vitro gentamicin incubation the readthrough efficiency for the Y122X mutation was at least five times higher than that for G542X R1162X and W1282X In six of the nine patients with the Y122X mutation CFTR immunodetection showed protein expression at the membrane of the nasal ciliated cells and the CFTR-dependent chloride secretion in their NPD measurements increased significantly Respiratory status also improved in these patients irrespective of the gentamicin sensitivity of the germs present in the sputum Mean sweat chloride concentration decreased significantly and normalized in two patients These measurements did not change in the Y122X patients with no protein expression in patients with the other stop mutations investigated in vitro n4 and those without stop mutations n5

Conclusion Suppression of stop mutations in the CFTR gene with parenteral gentamicin can be predicted in vitro and is associated with clinical benefit and significant modification of the CFTR-mediated chloride transport in nasal and sweat gland epithelium
