Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Primary human fibroblasts from a Familial Dysautonomia (FD) patient carrying ELP1 mutation (indicated by the red cross) were transduced by a lentivector expressing ACE2 receptor to allow SARS-CoV-2 entry. ( B ) tRNA U 34 modification levels in wt or FD human primary fibroblasts determined by mass spectrometry analysis performed on tRNA subpopulation expressed as the number of modifications per 10 4 unmodified ribonucleosides (rNs). ( C ) wt and FD cells previously transduced ACE2-expressing lentivector (VLP ACE 2 , controlled in A) were infected with increasing MOI of SARS-CoV-2 (0.05 to 0.2). SARS-CoV-2 infection levels were quantified by RT-qPCR with GAPDH mRNA used as an internal control for normalization. Each experiment was performed in triplicate.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of expression levels for ACE2 protein and A3 mRNAs in THP-1 parent and A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1 cells. ( A ) ACE2 protein expression levels on the surface of THP-1 parent and THP-1#11-4 ( A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1) cells. The ACE2 gene was introduced by a retroviral vector, and the expression levels of the surface ACE2 protein were detected by an anti-ACE2 polyclonal antibody (red). The number in each graph shows the percentage of ACE2 + cells compared to those stained by isotype control (gray). ( B ) A3 mRNA expression levels in Calu-3 (gray), THP-1-ACE2 (blue), and THP-1-ACE2#11-4 (red) cells. A3 mRNA expression levels were quantified by RT-qPCR and normalized to TBP mRNA levels. Each bar represents the average of three independent experiments with Standard deviation (SD). Statistical significance was determined using the two-sided unpaired t -test. *, p < 0.05 compared to THP-1 parent cells.

Figure Lengend Snippet: SARS-CoV-2 replication in THP-1 parent and A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1 cells. ( A ) Replication kinetics of the Wuhan, BA.1, and BA.5 variants produced from THP-1 parent and THP-1#11-4 ( A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1) cells without (blue line) or with (red line) ACE2 protein expression. The SARS-CoV-2 N gene was quantified by RT-qPCR to monitor the viral RNA copy number across the indicated time points. Each timepoint represents the average of four independent experiments with SD. ( B ) Passage experiments. The SARS-CoV-2 N gene in the cell culture supernatants produced from THP-1-ACE2 or THP-1-ACE2#11-4 ( A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1) cells at 96 h postinfection of each passage were quantified by RT-qPCR to monitor the viral RNA copy number of the Wuhan (gray), BA.1 (blue), and BA.5 (red) variants. Each bar represents the average of three independent experiments with SD.

Cell culture supernatants obtained from the passage experiments for the Wuhan variant were also used for plaque assay with serial 10-times dilution.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of mutations in SARS-CoV-2 genomes produced from THP-1 parent and A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1 cells during passage experiments. SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA was isolated and subjected to WGS. Sample 1 to 4: Wuhan variant from passage 1 of THP-1-ACE2 cells. Sample 5 to 8: Wuhan variant from passage 5 of THP-1-ACE2 cells. Sample 9 to 12: Wuhan variant from passage 1 of THP-1-ACE2#11-4 ( A3A -to- A3G -null THP-1) cells. Sample 13 and 14: Wuhan variant from passage 3 of THP-1-ACE2#11-4 cells. Green boxes on the top show each SARS-CoV-2 ORF gene with nucleotide position.
