    摘要: Disclosed herein are glutathione-sensitive oligonucleotides and methods of using the same. Any oligonucleotide of interest may be modified with a glutathione-sensitive moiety, including oligonucleotides used for in vivo delivery, such as nucleic acid inhibitor molecules. Typically, the glutathione-sensitive moiety is used to reversibly modify the 2′-carbon of a sugar moiety in one or more nucleotides in the oligonucleotide, although other carbon positions may also be modified with the glutathione-sensitive moiety. Also disclosed are glutathione-sensitive nucleotide and nucleoside monomers, including glutathione-sensitive nucleoside phosphoramidites that can be used, for example, in standard oligonucleotide synthesis methods. In addition, glutathione-sensitive nucleotide and nucleoside monomers without a phosphoramidite can be used therapeutically, for example, as anti-viral agents.

    摘要: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of ATXN1 RNA in a cell or subject, and in certain instances reducing the amount of ATXN1 in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms and hallmarks include gait and limb ataxia, cognitive impairments, difficulty with speaking and swallowing, atrophy of the cerebellum and brainstem in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neurochemical abnormalities in the cerebellum and brainstem detected via magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and death within 10-15 years of symptom onset. Such neurodegenerative diseases include Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1.
