Clinical and molecular characterization of the R751L-CFTR mutation

  • Cysticfibrosis (CF) arises from mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, resulting in progressiveand life-limiting respiratory disease. R751L is a rare CFTR mutation that is poorly characterized. Our aims were to describe theclinical and molecular phenotypes associated with R751L. Relevant clinical data were collected from three heterozygote individu-als harboring R751L (2 patients with G551D/R751L and 1 with F508del/R751L). Assessment of R751L-CFTR function was made inprimary human bronchial epithelial cultures (HBEs) andXenopusoocytes. Molecular properties of R751L-CFTR were investigatedin the presence of known CFTR modulators. Although sweat chloride was elevated in all three patients, the clinical phenotypeassociated with R751L was mild. Chloride secretion in F508del/R751L HBEs was reduced compared with non-CF HBEs and asso-ciated with a reduction in sodium absorption by the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). However, R751L-CFTR function inXenopusoocytes, together with folding and cell surface transport of R751L-CFTR, was not different from wild-type CFTR. Overall,R751L-CFTR was associated with reduced sodium chloride absorption but had functional properties similar to wild-type CFTR.This is thefirst report of R751L-CFTR that combines clinical phenotype with characterization of functional and biological proper-ties of the mutant channel. Our work will build upon existing knowledge of mutations within this region of CFTR and, importantly,inform approaches for clinical management. Elevated sweat chloride and reduced chloride secretion in HBEs may be due to al-ternative non-CFTR factors, which require further investigation.
