F508del-CFTR, the most common mutation in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, impairs CFTR trafficking to plasma membrane leading to its premature proteasomal degradation. Several post-translational modifications have been identified on CFTR with multiple roles in stability, localization and channel function, and the possibility to control the enzymes responsible of these modifications has been long considered a potential therapeutic strategy. Protein kinase CK2 has been previously suggested as an important player in regulating CFTR functions and it has been proposed as a pharmacological target in a combinatory therapy to treat CF patients. However, the real implication of CK2 in F508del-CFTR proteostasis, and in particular the hypothesis that its inhibition could be important in CF therapies, is still elusive. Here, by using immortalized cell lines, primary human cells, and knockout cell lines deprived of CK2 subunits, we do not disclose any direct correlation between F508del-CFTR proteostasis and CK2 expression/activity. Rather, our data indicate that the CK2α' catalytic subunit should be preserved rather than inhibited for F508del rescue by the correctors of class-1, such as VX-809, disclosing new important features in CF therapeutic approaches.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.

D019005 Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator A chloride channel that regulates secretion in many exocrine tissues. Abnormalities in the CFTR gene have been shown to cause cystic fibrosis. (Hum Genet 1994;93(4):364-8) CFTR Protein,Chloride channels, ATP-gated CFTR,Chloride channels, ATP gated CFTR,Protein, CFTR
D021122 Protein Subunits Single chains of amino acids that are the units of multimeric PROTEINS. Multimeric proteins can be composed of identical or non-identical subunits. One or more monomeric subunits may compose a protomer which itself is a subunit structure of a larger assembly. Protomers,Protein Subunit,Protomer,Subunit, Protein,Subunits, Protein
