Gene Editing of CD163 Protects Pigs from PRRSV Infectivity
Kristin M Whitworth,Kevin D. Wells,Randall S. Prather 한국수정란이식학회 2018 한국수정란이식학회 학술대회 Vol.2018 No.11
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically important disease in swine in North America, Europe and Asia. PRRS is caused via infection of the pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) with the PRRS virus (PRRSV) causing respiratory illness and high fever in young growing pigs that predisposes them to secondary bacterial infections. PRRSV also causes severe reproductive failure in sows and boars. Although research is ongoing, PRRSV continues to elude a successful vaccine. In 2014, piglets were born with a gene edit in exon 7 of the Cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163) gene introduced by using the CRISPR/Cas9 site-directed nucleases system. The resulting litters of pigs were either challenged with multiple PRRSV isolates at 3 weeks of age or bred at maturity for a challenge with pregnant sows. The challenges demonstrated that the pigs were completely resistant to infectivity to both Type 1 and 2 isolates as measured by clinical signs, viremia, antibody response and lung histopathology. In a follow-up study, pregnant CD163-/- pigs were also challenged with PRRSV to determine if absence of CD163 in the dam should be sufficient to protect the CD163+/- fetuses that have functional CD163 protein. The wild-type sow and fetuses were actively infected with the PRRSV and one sow aborted. The CD163-/- sows carrying both the CD163-/- and CD163+/- fetuses were all negative for PRRSV nucleic acid and showed no sign of fetal or placental failure. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that the absence of CD163 in the sow is sufficient to protect a PRRSV-susceptible CD163+/- fetus. Gene editing of CD163 in pigs, via CRISPR/Cas9, successfully blocked PRRSV infectivity in young growing pigs and pregnant sows and their fetuses. This is a great example of the potential of utilizing gene editing to improve animal agriculture.
