TRANSMISI GEN krt-GP11 DAN PERFORMA KETAHANAN IKAN MAS (Cyprinus carpio) TRANSGENIK F-2 TERHADAP INFEKSI KHV

Pembentukan ikan mas transgenik merupakan salah satu program penelitian di Balai Penelitian Pemuliaan Ikan, Sukamandi dalam rangka menghasilkan varietas unggul ikan mas tahan infeksi KHV (Koi herpesvirus). Pada tahun 2015 telah dilakukan pembentukan ikan mas transgenik tahan KHV generasi F-2. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi transmisi gen krt-GP11, ketahanan ikan mas transgenik F-2 terhadap infeksi KHV, keberadaan marka Cyca-DAB1*05 tahan KHV pada populasi ikan mas transgenik F-2. Ikan mas transgenik F-2 dihasilkan dengan memijahkan ikan mas transgenik F-1 jantan dengan betina non-transgenik. Pengujian transmisi transgen dan deteksi marka ketahanan KHV pada transgenik F-2 dilakukan dengan metode PCR menggunakan primer spesifik untuk transgen krt-GP11 dan gen Cyca-DAB1*05. Evaluasi ketahanan ikan mas transgenik F-2 terhadap infeksi KHV dilakukan dengan uji tantang secara kohabitasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa transmisi gen krt-GP11 pada keturunan F-2 memiliki persentase yang relatif rendah yaitu sebesar 0%-2%. Ikan mas transgenik F-2 memiliki ketahanan relatif baik terhadap KHV dengan sintasan uji tantang sebesar 90% dan tidak berbeda nyata dengan ikan mas pembanding atau non-transgenik (P>0,05). Tingginya pesentase keberadaan marka Cyca-DAB1*05 pada populasi transgenik berperan pada ketahanan ikan mas transgenik terhadap infeksi KHV.Creating of transgenic common carp is one of the breeding programs in Research Institute for Fish Breeding for producing a superior strain of common carp resistant to KHV(Koi herpesvirus). Since 2015, the creation of common carp transgenic has been conducted to produce F2 population resistant to KHV. This study was aimed to evaluate the transmission of krt-GP11 gen,the resistantce of F2 transgenic common carp against to KHV infection, and the existence of Cyca-DAB1*05 marker resistant to KHV in F2 transgenic population. F2 transgenic population has been produced by mating F1 transgenic male with non transgenic female. Transgene transmission and the existence of marker resistant to KHV in F2 transgenic population were evaluated by PCR method using specific primer to krt-GP11 gene and Cyca-DAB1*05 gene, respectively. The resistance of F2 transgenic population againstto KHV infection was evaluated by challenge test using cohabitation method. The result showed that transmission of krt-GP11 gene in F2transgenic population was relatively low with percentage of 0-2%. The resistance of F2 transgenic common carp against to KHV was relatively high with survival rate of 90% and was not significantly different from non transgenic (p>0.05). High percentage of transgenic population having Cyca-DAB1*05 marker had a role in resistance of transgenic population against KHV infection.

IDENTIFIKASI ZIGOSITAS IKAN LELE (Clarias gariepinus) TRANSGENIK F-2 YANG MEMBAWA GEN HORMON (PhGH) DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE REALTIME-qPCR

Produktivitas ikan budidaya dapat ditingkatkan melalui teknologi transgenesis. Populasi ikan lele transgenik cepat tumbuh telah dihasilkan dan karakter biologisnya telah diketahui. Namun informasi zigositas ikan lele transgenik perlu ditelaah lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi zigositas ikan lele transgenik F-2. Zigositas ikan lele transgenik diidentifikasi dengan menggunakan metode real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR) dan uji progeni. Identifikasi zigositas melalui uji progeni, dilakukan dengan mendeteksi transgen (PhGH) pada individu-individu F-3 hasil persilangan transgenik F-2 dengan non-transgenik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa zigositas pada ikan lele transgenik F-2 dapat diidentifikasi dengan menggunakan metode RT-qPCR. Semua ikan transgenik F-2 adalah heterozigot, dengan nilai 2-Ct yang hampir sama tiap individu F-2, yaitu berkisar 0,80-0,99. Identifikasi zigositas dengan metode RT-qPCR menunjukkan hasil yang sama dengan uji progeni, semua transgenik F-2 tidak menghasilkan 100% anakan F-3 positif transgen. Pada uji progeni, transmisi transgen pada penelitian ini tidak mengikuti hukum segregasi Mendel, dengan kisaran sebesar 5%-40%.Fish farming productivity can be increased by transgenesis technology. On the previous study, transgenic African catfish population fast growing has been produced and its biological characters has been known. However information of transgenic zygosity of catfish should be examined. The aim of this study was to identify the zygosity of F-2 transgenic African catfish. The zygosity of F-2 transgenic was identified by real time-qPCR (RT-qPCR) method and progeny test. Further, identification of zygosity F-2 transgenic African catfish was confirmed by progeny test, while F-2 transgenic African catfish was mated with non-transgenic. Identification of zygosity F-2 transgenic was conducted by detection PhGH gene (transgene) in F-3 transgenic African catfish population. Transgene transmission was evaluated by PCR method. The result showed that the zygosity F-2 transgenic African catfish could be identified by RT-qPCR method. All F-2 transgenic African catfish were heterozygous, where as the 2-Ct value was almost same for all individual, which ranges from 0.80 to 0.99. The result of zygosity identification using RT-qPCR method was as same as that of progeny test. In the progeny test, transgene transmission in this study was non-Mendelian segregation, with ranges of 5%-40%.

1 GENERATION OF A STABLE TRANSGENIC SWINE MODEL FOR CELL TRACKING AND CHROMOSOME DYNAMIC STUDIES

Transgenic pigs are an attractive research model in the field of translational research, regenerative medicine, and stem cell therapy due to their anatomic, genetic, and physiological similarities with humans. The development of a transgenic murine model with a fusion of green fluorescent protein (GFP) to histone 2B protein (H2B, protein of nucleosome core) resulted in an easier and more convenient method for tracking cell migration and engraftment levels after transplantation as well as a way to better understand the complexity of molecular regulation within cell cycle/division, cancer biology, and chromosome dynamics. Up to now the development of a stable transgenic large animal model expressing H2B-GFP has not been described. Our objective was to develop the first transgenic porcine H2B-GFP model via CRISPR-CAS9 mediated recombination and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Porcine fetal fibroblasts were cotransfected with CRISPR-CAS9 designed to target the 3′ untranslated region of ACTB locus and a targeting vector containing 1Kb homology arms to ACTB flanking an IRES-H2B-GFP transgene. Four days after transfection GFP cells were fluorescence activated cell sorted. Single cell colonies were generated and analysed by PCR, and heterozygous colonies were used as donor cells for SCNT. The custom designed CRISPR-CAS9 knockin system demonstrated a 2.4% knockin efficiency. From positive cells, 119 SCNT embryos were generated and transferred to a recipient gilt resulting in three positive founder boars (P1 generation). Boars show normal fertility (pregnancies obtained via AI of wild type sows). Generated P1 clones were viable and fertile with a transgene transmission rate of 55.8% (in concordance with Mendel’s law upon chi-square test with P = 0.05). Intranuclear H2B-GFP expression was confirmed via fluorescence microscopy on 8-day in vitro cultured SCNT blastocysts and a variety of tissues (heart, kidney, brain, bladder, skeletal muscle, stomach, skin, and so on) and primary cultured cells (chondrocytes, bone marrow derived, adipocyte derived, neural stem cells, and so on) from P1 cloned boars and F1 42-day fetuses and viable piglets. In addition, chromosome segregation could be easily identified during cell cycle division in in vitro cultured stem cells. Custom designed CRISPR-CAS 9 are able to drive homologous recombination in the ACTB locus in porcine fetal fibroblasts, allowing the generation of the first described viable H2B-GFP porcine model via SCNT. Generated clones and F1 generation expressed H2B-GFP ubiquitously, and transgene transmission rates were with concordance of Mendel’s law. This novel large animal model represents an improved platform for regenerative medicine and chromosome dynamic and cancer biology studies.
