Study Description

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the cause of a present global pandemic, infects human lung alveolar type 2 (hAT2) cells. Characterizing pathogenesis is crucial for developing vaccines and therapeutics. However, the lack of models mirroring the cellular physiology and pathology of hAT2 cells limits the study. Here, we develop a feeder-free, long-term three-dimensional (3D) culture technique for hAT2 cells derived from primary human lung tissue, and investigate infection response to SARS-CoV-2. By imaging-based analysis and single-cell transcriptome profiling, we reveal rapid viral replication and the increased expression of interferon-associated genes and pro-inflammatory genes in infected hAT2 cells, indicating robust endogenous innate immune response. Further tracing of viral mutations acquired during transmission identifies full infection of individual cells effectively from a single viral entry. Our study provides deep insights into the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, and the application of defined 3D hAT2 cultures as models for respiratory ... (Show More)

This dataset includes 14 bulk RNA sequencing data (28 fastq files) in the study entitled "Three-dimensional human alveolar stem cell culture models reveal infection response to SARS-CoV-2". RNA sequencing library was generated with Truseq stranded total RNA Gold kit.
Illumina HiSeq 2500 14
EGAD00001006242
This dataset includes a total of 5 single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data of SARS-CoV-2 infected human alveolar stem cell culture models. Two scRNAseq data were obtained from SARS-CoV-2 infection with MOI of 1.0 (1 for control and 1 for infected case) and the other three were obtained from SARS-CoV-2 infection with MOI of 0.1 in the study entitled "Three-dimensional human alveolar stem cell culture models reveal infection response to SARS-CoV-2". The 10x Chromium Single Cell 3' Reagent kits ... (Show More)
