Nonsense codons suppression. An acute toxicity study of three optimized TRIDs in murine model, safety and tolerability evaluation.
2022
Stop mutations cause 11% of the genetic diseases, due to the introduction of a premature termination codon (PTC) in the mRNA, followed by the production of a truncated protein. A promising therapeutic approach is the suppression therapy by Translational Readthrough Inducing Drugs (TRIDs), restoring the expression of the protein. Recently, three new TRIDs (NV848, NV914, NV930) have been proposed, and validated by several in vitro assays, for the rescue of the CFTR protein, involved in Cystic Fibrosis disease. In this work, an acute toxicological study for the three TRIDs was conducted in vivo on mice, according to the OECD No.420 guidelines. Animals were divided into groups and treated with …

COMBINING TRANSLATION READTHROUGH INDUCING DRUGS AND NONSENSE MEDIATED DECAY PATWHAY INHIBITION TO THE CFTR RESCUE IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CELL MODEL SYST…

Nonsense mutations affect 10% of patients with cystic fibrosis and produce a premature termination codon in CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) mRNA causing early termination of translation and leading to lack of CFTR function. A potential therapy for nonsense mutations provides the use of small molecules able to overcome the premature stop codon (PTC) by a readthrough mechanism that lead to synthesis a complete CFTR protein. Despite the good results obtained from this approach, TRIDs efficiency is considerably reduced by the poor amount of target transcript, that is the mRNA containing the PTC. The readthrough, indeed, does not occur on the totality of target transcr…
Translational readthrough inducing drugs: a study of toxicity in mice models and in vitro safety validation of the specific readthrough process.
2022
Objective Nonsense mutations are responsible for 15% of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients due to the introduction of a premature stop codon (PTC) in the mRNA and the production of a truncated CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) protein1. A promising therapeutic approach for stop mutations is the suppression therapy by Translational Readthrough Inducing Drugs (TRIDs) to restore the expression of the protein2,3. Recently three new TRIDS (NV848, NV914, NV930) have been proposed and validated by several assays. Our work was focused on TRIDs NV848, NV914, NV930. Important aspects of TRIDs to be evaluated are their specificity towards PTC, to demonstrate that TRIDs do not inter…
