Manufacturing and purification of AAVs had been tailored from refs. 74,75,76. Briefly, AAVs had been produced by transfecting HEK 293 T cells with pXX6–80, pTRs-B3GAT1 or pTRs-eGFP, and pXR6 in a 2:1:1 ratio (by µg quantity). Transfected cells had been incubated at 37 °C for 96 h to permit AAVs to assemble. To reap AAVs, media was eliminated and cells had been collected utilizing a cell scraper. AAVs within the media had been harvested by way of precipitation in 0.5 M NaCl/8% PEG-8000 at 4 °C in a single day. Intracellular AAVs had been extracted by thermal lysis of the harvested cells adopted by chemical lysis utilizing 0.5% sodium deoxycholate. Cell lysates had been clarified and handed by means of 0.22 µm filters. AAVs had been purified by making use of clarified cell lysates to heparin columns (Cytiva 17040701). Eluted AAVs had been transferred to 100,000 MWCO dialysis tubing (Millipore Z726060) and dialyzed in opposition to pharmaceutical-grade PBS in a single day at 4 °C. AAV shares had been concentrated utilizing Amicon centrifugal focus models (Millipore UFC901024). The titer of every AAV inventory was decided by way of qPCR, as beforehand demonstrated77. Moreover, transduction efficiencies of every AAV inventory had been validated by transducing A549 cells adopted by detection of both sialic acids by way of fluorescein-labeled WGA (Vector Laboratories FL-1021) or HNK-1 by way of immunostaining (Sigma C6680).
AAV transductions
Differentiated murine ALI cultures had been washed with PBS to clear mucus, then concurrently transduced on the apical and basal aspect with GFP AAV6 or B3GAT1 AAV6. Apical cells had been incubated in 50 µL AAVs in mTEC primary (MOI = 100,000) for 8 h at 37 °C, whereas basal cells had been incubated in 500 µL AAVs in mTEC/SF (MOI = 100,000) for 48 h at 37 °C. After 7 days, cells had been transduced a second time following the identical protocol. Experiments had been carried out 7–8 days after the second transduction. For AAV deliveries in vivo, 9–13-week-old feminine wild-type C57BL/6J mice had been anesthetized with 80 µL of ketamine/xylazine combination. GFP AAV6 and B3GAT1 AAV6 had been diluted in pharmaceutical-grade PBS and delivered intranasally at a dose of 1011 viral genome equivalents/mouse. Mice had been positioned upright with their mouths held closed to extend effectivity of the supply78. Mice had been transduced twice to maximise transgene expression79, with 7 days between deliveries, and all influenza virus infections occurred 14 days after the second transduction. Mice had been monitored after transduction to evaluate the results of B3GAT1 AAV6 and GFP AAV6 on animal well being. To verify transduction effectivity, mice 21 days submit transduction had been perfused intracardially with 12 mL of PBS and lungs had been inflated intratracheally with 1 mL of a 1:1 mixture of OCT compound and eight% formaldehyde in PBS. Inflated lungs had been collected and stuck in a single day in 4% formaldehyde in PBS at 4 °C. The next day, lungs had been transferred to 30% sucrose in PBS and incubated at the very least 24 h at 4 °C earlier than cryosectioning. 8 µm cryosections had been taken, adhered to glass slides, dried, and outlined with a hydrophobic pen to facilitate staining. Re-hydrated sections had been stained with Hoechst 33342 and mounted below a glass coverslip utilizing Delay Diamond Antifade mountant. Photos had been captured on a Zeiss 780 Upright Confocal microscope.
Mouse infections with influenza virus
AAV-transduced mice had been anesthetized with 80 µL of ketamine/xylazine combination previous to an infection. B/Malaysia/2506/2004, A/Puerto Rico/8/1934, and A/Hawaii/70/2019 had been diluted in pharmaceutical grade PBS and administered intranasally in 40 µL whole quantity. After an infection, bodyweights had been obtained each day and mice had been euthanized upon reaching the humane threshold as detailed within the ethics assertion. P.c beginning bodyweights had been rounded to the closest entire p.c to find out if a mouse reached the humane threshold. For lung viral titering, entire mouse lungs had been homogenized in PBS and lung titer was decided by way of plaque assay.
Statistics and reproducibility
Statistical exams used to find out significance are indicated within the determine legends. For all null speculation testing with the Mann-Whitney U check, a confidence interval of 95% was used to evaluate significance. Values not detected as a result of technical limitations of an assay had been excluded from subsequent statistical analyses. Error bars signify normal error of the imply for all graphs. Except in any other case famous, a minimal of three technical replicates had been performed for every independently performed experiment. Technical replicates weren’t performed for experiments utilizing genetically distinct mice or independently generated ALI cultures. Statistical analyses and graphs had been generated utilizing Prism 9 software program. All experiments depicted by consultant photos had been carried out independently at the very least twice with related outcomes.
