Background  Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), which is currently insufficiently controlled. From a previous small-scale screen we identified an effective DNA-based short antisense oligonucleotide (AS-ON) targeting viral NSP9, which could inhibit PRRSV replication in both Marc-145 cells and pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs). The objective of this study was to explore the strategy of incorporating locked nucleic acids (LNAs) to achieve better inhibition of PRRSV replication in vitro.    Methods  The effective DNA-based AS-ON (YN8) was modified with LNAs at both ends as gap-mer (LNA-YN8-A) or as mix-mer (LNA-YN8-B). Marc-145 cells or PAMs were infected with PRRSV and subsequently transfected.    Results  Compared with the DNA-based YN8 control, the two AS-ONs modified with LNAs were found to be significantly more effective in decreasing the cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by PRRSV and thus in maintaining cell viability. LNA modifications conferred longer lifetimes to the AS-ON in the cell culture model. Viral ORF7 levels were more significantly reduced at both RNA and protein levels as shown by quantitative PCR, western blot and indirect immunofluorescence staining. Moreover, transfection with LNA modified AS-ON reduced the PRRSV titer by 10-fold compared with the YN8 control.    Conclusion  Taken together, incorporation of LNA into AS-ON technology holds higher therapeutic promise for PRRS control.
