Optimized AAV Library Generation

The plasmids used for in vivo selection were adapted from the previous publication54 (link). rAAV-pUBC-sfGFP-Cap and AAV2/9-REP-AAP was generated from pUBC-mCherry-rAB (Addgene, 115239), pUCmini-iCAP-PHP.S (Addgene, 103006), pAAV2/8 (Addgene, 112864). No in-cis-Lox module or transgenic Cre lines were used given the anatomical separation of DRGs and iWAT. The ROOT capsid library was generated by inserting random heptamers using NNK degenerate primers (Integrated DNA technologies) between the 588 and 589 sites of AAV9 by Gibson assembly as previously described54 (link).

The single strand AAV (ssAAV) vectors were based on the AAV-hGFAP-GFP vector (40 (link)) by replacing the hGFAP promoter with the hIBA1 promoter. The self-complementary AAV (scAAV) vectors were based on the scAAV-CAG-GFP vector (Addgene #83279) by replacing the CAG promoter with the hIBA1 promoter. All vectors were verified through restriction enzyme digestions and DNA sequencing. AAV viruses were packaged with pAd-deltaF6 (Addgene #112867) and one of the following helper plasmids: pAAV2/1 (Addgene #112862), pAAV2/2 (Addgene #104963), pAAV2/5 (Addgene #104964), pAAV2/6 (Addgene #110660), pAAV2/6m (20 (link)), pAAV2/8 (Addgene #112864), pAAV2/9 (Addgene #112865), or pUCmini-iCAP-PHP.eB (Addgene #103005). Briefly, HEK293T cells were transfected with the packaging plasmids and a vector plasmid. Three days later, virus was collected from the cell lysates and culture media. Virus was purified through iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation, washed with PBS, and concentrated with 100K PES concentrator (Pierce, Thermo Scientific). Viral titers were determined by quantitative PCR with ITR primers (forward: 5-GGAACCCCTAGTGATGGAGTT-3; reverse: 5-CGGCCTCAGTGAGCGA-3).

AAV8 Viral Particle Production

To generate AAV8 viral particles, 293T cells in a 15cm dish (1 million cells, culture media: DMEM supplemented with 10%v/v fetal bovine serum) were transfected with pAAV2/8 (Addgene #112864), pAdDeltaF6 (Addgene #112867), and pX601 (Addgene #61591). Seventy-two hours later, media was removed and AAV particles were purified by Iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation method (Millipore Sigma) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The viral particles were further concentrated by Amicon® Ultra-15 centrifugal filter units (Millipore Sigma) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Viral titers were determined via a PCR based method utilizing the primers described above. The AAV8 viral particles (2.0×1012 genome copies/rat diluted in 400μl PBS) were injected into a lateral tail vein.

Detailed Protocol for Constructing Expression Vectors

References and construction details for all expression vectors are provided in Supplementary information, Table S2. Some expression vectors were constructed by in-fusion cloning using the Seamless Cloning Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China; Cat# D7010M). PCR-amplification reactions were performed using KOD One PCR Master Mix (Toyobo Inc., Osaka, Japan; Cat# KMM-201). Ligation reactions were performed using T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, USA; Cat# M0202L). Restriction endonucleases were purchased from New England Biolabs. Unpublished plasmids pAdDeltaF6 (Addgene plasmid #112867) and pAAV2/8 (Addgene plasmid #112864) were gifts from James M. Wilson (University of Pennsylvania). pSG5-lamda4G was kindly provided by Matthias W. Hentze.55 (link)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
