[Objective] ALTA4H-deleted porcine kidney cell line (PK-15) was constructed by CRISPR/Cas9 to study the effect ofLTA4H on the replication of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), with a view to providing a theoretical basis for revealing the functions ofLTA4H and the mechanism of regulating virus replication. [Methods] Two small guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting porcineLTA4H were designed and integrated into the vector pX459-puro-MCS, respectively. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into PK-15 cells, which were then cultured in the medium supplemented with puromycin, and the monoclonal cells were selected by limiting dilution method. Western blotting and sequencing were performed to detectLTA4H knockout, andLTA4H-deleted cells were obtained. Furthermore, Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and virus titer assay were employed to examine FMDV replication and protein expression afterLTA4H knockout. [Results] Compared with the wild type cells, theLTA4H-deleted PK-15 cells exhibited inhibited FMDV replication. [Conclusion] This study successfully constructed a PK-15 cell line with LTA4H gene knockout, demonstrating that LTA4H can promote the replication of FMDV, and the results provided a theoretical basis for the subsequent research on the function ofLTA4H.
