Outline of Final Research Achievements

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically important disease of swine worldwide. Vaccines have been unable to control the disease. It has been suggested that CD163 and/or Siglec 1 are the receptors for entry of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) into cells. Thus, we hypothesized that pigs with defective CD163 and/or Siglec 1 would be resistant to PRRSV. Here, we have tried to generate PRRS-resistant pigs using CRISPR/Cas9 system by introducing mutations in the CD163 and Siglec 1 genes to secrete a soluble form of each molecule. Total 11 piglets were born from foster pigs transferred zygotes injected with each sgRNA and Cas9 and an adenine insertion was detected in the Siglec 1 gene in one of them. Unfortunately, the piglet exhibited a mosaic genotype. In addition, somatic cell nuclear transfer was performed using porcine fibroblasts possessing the CD163 gene edited by CRISPR/Cas9 system.
