摘要： Porcine respiratory CoV (PRCoV), a natural mutant of TGEV, shows striking pathogenetic similarities to human respiratory CoV infection and provides an interesting animal model for human respiratory CoVs, including SARS-CoV-2. The lack of an in vitro model recapitulating the complicated cellularity and structure of the porcine respiratory tract is a major roadblock for the study of PRCoV infection. Respiratory coronaviruses cause serious health threats to humans and animals. Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCoV), a natural transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) mutant with partial spike deletion, causes mild respiratory disease and is an interesting animal respiratory coronavirus model for human respiratory coronaviruses. However, the absence of robust ex vivo models of porcine airway epithelium hinders an understanding of the pathogenesis of PRCoV infection. Here, we generated long-term porcine airway organoids (AOs) derived from basal epithelial cells, which recapitulate the in vivo airway complicated epithelial cellularity. Both 3D and 2D AOs are permissive for PRCoV infection. Unlike TGEV, which established successful infection in both AOs and intestinal organoids, PRCoV was strongly amplified only in AOs, not intestinal organoids. Furthermore, PRCoV infection in AOs mounted vigorous early type I and III interferon (IFN) responses and upregulated the expression of overzealous inflammatory genes, including pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and proinflammatory cytokines. Collectively, these data demonstrate that stem-derived porcine AOs can serve as a promising disease model for PRCoV infection and provide a valuable tool to study porcine respiratory infection. IMPORTANCE Porcine respiratory CoV (PRCoV), a natural mutant of TGEV, shows striking pathogenetic similarities to human respiratory CoV infection and provides an interesting animal model for human respiratory CoVs, including SARS-CoV-2. The lack of an in vitro model recapitulating the complicated cellularity and structure of the porcine respiratory tract is a major roadblock for the study of PRCoV infection. Here, we developed long-term 3D airway organoids (AOs) and further established 2D AO monolayer cultures. The resultant 3D and 2D AOs are permissive for PRCoV infection. Notably, PRCoV mediated pronounced IFN and inflammatory responses in AOs, which recapitulated the inflammatory responses associated with PRCoV in vivo infection. Therefore, porcine AOs can be utilized to characterize the pathogenesis of PRCoV and, more broadly, can serve as a universal platform for porcine respiratory infection.
