Rescue of functional p.Phe508del-CFTR Cl− currents in Kaftrio ® - or Orkambi ® -treated CFBE 41o- cells. Representative whole-cell Cl − current traces were elicited by voltage steps from a holding potential of −40 mV to a series of test potentials ranging from 0 to +60 mV in 20 mV increments every 10 s in CFBE 41o- cells expressing wt-CFTR (column A ) or p.Phe508del-CFTR (column B ) or in cells expressing deletion mutant CFTR but treated for 24 h with LUM/IVA (column C ) or ELX/TEZ/IVA (column D ) for 24 h. The duration of the depolarizing pulses was 1 s. For clarity, Cl − currents recorded at 0 mV are shown throughout the figure. Top panels : basal currents recorded at 0 mV in the absence of FSK/IBMX stimulation (black), recorded upon ∼2 min stimulation by FSK/IBMX (10/100 μM) (blue) and in the presence of FSK/IBMX and 20 μM of CFTR <t>inh172</t> (red). The middle panels show the corresponding peak current densities determined at 0 mV (pA/pF, mean ± SEM) obtained in the absence of FSK/IBMX (basal, black symbols), upon stimulation by FSK/IBMX (blue symbols), and in the presence of FSK/IBMX and 20 μM CFTR inh172 (red symbols). The current density for a particular cell was determined as the average of current density values obtained for three to four consecutive depolarizing pulses repeated every 5 s. Bottom panels: current density–voltage relationships (pA/pF, mean ± SEM) measured at the indicated test potentials in the absence of FSK/IBMX (basal, black symbols), upon stimulation by FSK/IBMX (blue symbols), and in the presence of FSK/IBMX and 20 μM CFTR inh172 (red symbols).

( F ) Analysis of the FSK (10 µM)/IBMX (100 µM)-stimulated peak current densities (pA/pF) recorded in cells in the absence of CFTRm pretreatment ( p.Phe508del-CFTR , empty circles), pre-treated with LUM/IVA (up triangles) or ELX/TEZ/IVA (down triangles).

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 7–16 cells/condition) unless otherwise indicated, and each symbol represents an individual record. An unpaired or paired t-test was performed for comparisons.

Rescue of functional p.Phe508del-CFTR Cl− currents in Kaftrio ® - or Orkambi ® -treated CFBE 41o- cells. Representative whole-cell Cl − current traces were elicited by voltage steps from a holding potential of −40 mV to a series of test potentials ranging from 0 to +60 mV in 20 mV increments every 10 s in CFBE 41o- cells expressing wt-CFTR (column A ) or p.Phe508del-CFTR (column B ) or in cells expressing deletion mutant CFTR but treated for 24 h with LUM/IVA (column C ) or ELX/TEZ/IVA (column D ) for 24 h. The duration of the depolarizing pulses was 1 s. For clarity, Cl − currents recorded at 0 mV are shown throughout the figure. Top panels : basal currents recorded at 0 mV in the absence of FSK/IBMX stimulation (black), recorded upon ∼2 min stimulation by FSK/IBMX (10/100 μM) (blue) and in the presence of FSK/IBMX and 20 μM of CFTR inh172 (red). The middle panels show the corresponding peak current densities determined at 0 mV (pA/pF, mean ± SEM) obtained in the absence of FSK/IBMX (basal, black symbols), upon stimulation by FSK/IBMX (blue symbols), and in the presence of FSK/IBMX and 20 μM CFTR inh172 (red symbols). The current density for a particular cell was determined as the average of current density values obtained for three to four consecutive depolarizing pulses repeated every 5 s. Bottom panels: current density–voltage relationships (pA/pF, mean ± SEM) measured at the indicated test potentials in the absence of FSK/IBMX (basal, black symbols), upon stimulation by FSK/IBMX (blue symbols), and in the presence of FSK/IBMX and 20 μM CFTR inh172 (red symbols). ( E ) Analysis of the basal peak current densities (pA/pF) determined at +40 mV and recorded in cells in the absence of CFTRm pretreatment (F580del, empty circles), pre-treated with LUM/IVA (up triangles) or ELX/TEZ/IVA (down triangles). ( F ) Analysis of the FSK (10 µM)/IBMX (100 µM)-stimulated peak current densities (pA/pF) recorded in cells in the absence of CFTRm pretreatment ( p.Phe508del-CFTR , empty circles), pre-treated with LUM/IVA (up triangles) or ELX/TEZ/IVA (down triangles). ( G ) Analysis of the FSK/IBMX-stimulated and CFTR inh172 (20 µM)-inhibited peak current densities (pA/pF) recorded in cells in the absence of CFTRm pretreatment (F580del, empty circles), pre-treated with LUM/IVA (up triangles) or ELX/TEZ/IVA (down triangles). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 7–16 cells/condition) unless otherwise indicated, and each symbol represents an individual record. An unpaired or paired t-test was performed for comparisons. Differences were considered significant at p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), p < 0.001 (***), and p < 0.0001 (****).
