Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Müller glia (MG) reprogramming offers therapeutic potential for vision loss.
  • Existing Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) systems for MG tracing exhibit significant leakage.
  • Reducing AAV leakage is crucial for accurate cell fate studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly efficient and specific AAV-based system for Müller glia (MG) labeling.
  • To minimize leakage in AAV vectors used for tracing MG reprogramming.
  • To optimize a novel AAV system for in vivo cell fate tracing.

Main Methods:

  • Screened different AAV serotypes for MG labeling efficiency and specificity.
  • Optimized a human GFAP-Cre reporter system within the AAV9 serotype.
  • Removed the woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE) to create AAV9-hGFAP-Cre-ΔWPRE.
  • Validated the system's specificity by assessing MG reprogramming under Ptbp1-suppression.

Main Results:

  • The AAV9-hGFAP-Cre-ΔWPRE system demonstrated a ~40-fold reduction in leakage compared to the AAV9-hGFAP-Cre-WPRE system.
  • The optimized system exhibited high efficiency and specificity in labeling Müller glia.
  • No Müller glia conversion was observed under Ptbp1-suppression, confirming system specificity.

Conclusions:

  • The AAV9-hGFAP-Cre-ΔWPRE system is a highly efficient and specific tool for Müller glia labeling.
  • This optimized system provides a reliable method for tracing cell fate in vivo.
  • The development advances therapeutic strategies for ocular diseases and vision restoration.
