Abstract	Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by an increase in the length of the poly(Q) tract in the huntingtin (Htt) protein, which changes its solubility and induces aggregation. Aggregation occurs in two general phases, nucleation and elongation, and agents designed to block either phase are being considered as potential therapeutics. We demonstrate that inclusion formation can be retarded by introducing modified, single-stranded oligonucleotides into a model neuronal cell line. This cell-based assay is used in conjunction with a standardized biochemical assay to identify molecules that can disrupt the process of aggregate formation. Active oligonucleotides include a 6-mer containing a single phosphorothioate linkage on each terminus, a 53-mer and a 9-mer containing three phosphorothioate linkages at each end, and a 25-mer consisting of all modified RNA residues. The disruption process directed by the active oligonucleotides appears to be independent of sequence specificity and complementarity. In contrast, the activity is more dependent on the type of chemical modifications contained within the oligonucleotide. Some oligonucleotides that demonstrated inhibition activity were also found to extend the life span of PC12 cells after the toxic Htt aggregation process was induced. Our data provide the first evidence that short synthetic oligonucleotides inhibit a fundamental pathological pathway of HD and may provide the basis for a novel therapeutic approach.
