Abstract: In order to explore the effect of Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) on the proliferation of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology was used to construct a porcine kidney cell line (PK-15) with Tollip gene deletion, and the knockout effect was confirmed by PCR sequencing and Western blot, Then, CCK-8 kit was used to determine the change of cell viability after Tollip deletion, and there was no obvious difference between knockout cells and wild cells. Western blot, indirect immunofluorescence, real-time fluorescence and viral titer were used to determine the replication of viruses in knockout cell lines during FMDV infection. The results showed that knockout cells significantly promoted virus replication compared with wild cells during FMDV infection. In summary, Tollip deletion cell lines were successfully constructed on PK-15 cells, and the results showed that Tollip deletion contributed to FMDV replication. These results provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent study of Tollip function and antiviral mechanism.
