a, Relative expression levels of viral RNA in WT and CIART−/− hPSC-CMs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). b,c, Representative confocal images (b) and calculated percentages (c) of SARS-N+ cells within the cTnT+ cell populations of WT and CIART−/− hPSC-CMs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). d, Relative expression levels of viral RNA in WT and CIART−/− hPSC-AWOs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). e,f, Representative confocal images (e) and calculated percentages (f) of SARS-N+ cells within the FOXJ1+ cell populations of WT and CIART−/− hPSC-AWOs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). g, Relative expression levels of viral RNA in WT and CIART−/− hPSC-ALOs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). h,i, Representative confocal images (h) and calculated percentages (i) of SARS-N+ cells in the mature SP-B+ cell populations of WT and CIART−/− hPSC-ALOs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). j,k, Representative confocal images (j) and calculated percentages (k) of SARS-N+ cells in the mature SP-C+ cell populations of WT and CIART−/− hPSC-ALOs at 24 h.p.i. with SARS-CoV-2 (m.o.i. = 0.3). ak, n = 3 independent biological replicates. l, Percentage of viral UMI counts in mock- and SARS-CoV-2-infected WT and CIART−/− hPSC-AWOs (m.o.i. = 0.1; 24 h.p.i.). m, Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) plot illustrating five cell clusters in the hPSC-AWOs. n, Correlation analysis of cell clusters in hPSC-AWOs and adult human lung. o, Percentage of viral UMI counts in each cluster of WT and CIART−/− hPSC-AWOs following SARS-CoV-2 infection (m.o.i. = 0.1; 24 h.p.i.). p, Levels of SARS-CoV-2 viral transcripts in ciliated-like cells 1 of WT and CIART−/− hPSC-AWOs following SARS-CoV-2 infection (m.o.i. = 0.1; 24 h.p.i.). Data are the mean ± s.d. P values were calculated using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test. Scale bars, 100 μm.
