摘要： Myostatin (MSTN) is a major gene target for skeletal muscle overgrowth in animals. We hypothesized that deletion of the entire mature peptide encoded by MSTN in pigs would knock out its bioactive form and accordingly stimulate skeletal muscle overgrowth. Thus, we engineered two pairs of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to target exons 1 and 3 of MSTN in primary fetal fibroblasts of Taoyuan black pigs. We found that sgRNAs targeting exon 3, which encodes the mature peptide, had higher biallelic null mu-tation efficiency than those targeting exon 1. Somatic cell nuclear transfer was conducted using the exon 3 mutation cells as donor cells to generate five cloned MSTN null piglets (MSTN-/-). Growth testing revealed that both the growth rate and average daily weight gain of MST-/- pigs were greater than those of wild-type (MSTN & PLUSMN;/& PLUSMN;) pigs. Slaughter data demonstrated that the lean ratio of MSTN-/- pigs was 11.3% higher (P < 0.01) while the back-fat thickness was 17.33% lower (P < 0.01) than those of MSTN & PLUSMN;/& PLUSMN; pigs. Haematoxylin-eosin staining indicated that the increased leanness of MSTN-/- pigs resulted from muscle fibre hyperplasia rather than hypertrophy.HE staining showed markedly decreased adipocyte size in MSTN-/- pigs. We also critically examined the off-target and random integration by resequencing, which showed that the founder MSTN-/- pigs contained no non-target mutations or exogenous plasmid elements. This study is the first to report the successful knock out of the mature MSTN peptide using dual sgRNA-mediated deletion, leading to the most prominent alteration of meat production traits in pigs published thus far. This new strategy is expected to have a wide impact on genetic improvements in food animals. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
