Experiment: Delivery of saCas9 and gRNAs to nephron epithelia by AAV2 in kidney organoids.
PI: Ryuji Morizane, MD, PhD
Description: An AAV2 viral vector carrying SaCas9 and AAV2 vector expressing mCherry and carrying two gRNAs against the DMD gene were used in human kidney organoids to assess transgene delivery to nephron epithelia. Organoids were treated with both AAVs at MOI 10^5 for one week. Delivery of Cas9 and gRNA vectors to nephron cell types were evaluted by immunohistochemistry. Note: additional data not shown demonstrated mCherry and SaCas9 were not detectable in non-transduced cells.
Delivery Assays:
- Calculated tranduction efficiceny of transgene delivery to nephron epithelia by counting Cas9+ mCherry+ fluorescent cells among CDH1+ stained loops of Henle/distal nephron cells
- Calculated tranduction efficiceny of transgene delivery to nephron epithelia by counting Cas9- mCherry+ fluorescent cells among PODXL+ stained podocytes
- Calculated tranduction efficiceny of transgene delivery to nephron epithelia by counting Cas9+ mCherry+ fluorescent cells among PODXL+ stained podocytes
