Generation of AAVs that specifically deplete IL-10 in microglia. (A) Generation of an AAV PHP.B serotype carrying siRNA for IL-10 (si-IL-10) or control scrambled sequence (Scr) under a microglia-specific TMEM119 promoter, which allows specific depletion of IL-10 in microglia. T2A allowed co-expression of transgenes with a GFP reporter under the same promoter. (B) Scr virus was used to infect four different cell lines, which were microglia cell line HMC3, macrophage cell line KG-1, neuronal cell line HCN-1, and fibroblast cell line 3T3. Bright fields and GFP channel were shown. (C) Si-IL-10 and control Scr viruses were used to infect HMC3 cells. Bright fields and immunocytochemistry for IL-10 were shown. (D) ELISA for IL-10. *p < 0.05. N = 5. Scale bars are 100 µm.
