2 Figure 1 Transient ASO-Mediated Htt Lowering Produces Sustained Therapeutic Effect in HD Mice (A) A schematic to show ASOs with phosphorothioate (PS) and 2′-O-methoxyethyl (MOE) modifications that can target Htt RNA to form RNA/DNA duplex and activate RNase H-mediated degradation of Htt mRNA. (B) A schematic to illustrate the “Huntingtin Holiday” effect, a transient lowering of mHtt by ASOs in HD mice results in sustained therapeutic benefit beyond the period of disease protein suppression.
