Correction of the F508del-CFTR protein processing defect in vitro by the investigational drug VX-809

TL;DR: F508del-CFTR corrected by VX-809 exhibited biochemical and functional characteristics similar to normal CFTR, including biochemical susceptibility to proteolysis, residence time in the plasma membrane, and single-channel open probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frequent Mutation of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH)1 and IDH2 in Cholangiocarcinoma Identified Through Broad-Based Tumor Genotyping

TL;DR: In an analysis of frozen tissue specimens, IDH1 mutation was associated with highly elevated tissue levels of the enzymatic product 2-hydroxyglutarate, defining a specific metabolic abnormality in this largely incurable type of gastrointestinal cancer and present a potentially new target for therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rescue of ΔF508-CFTR trafficking and gating in human cystic fibrosis airway primary cultures by small molecules

TL;DR: Two classes of novel, potent small molecules identified from screening compound libraries that restore the function of DeltaF508-CFTR in both recombinant cells and cultures of human bronchial epithelia isolated from CF patients are described.
