The influence of 2'-O-substituents (i.e. methyl, tetrahydropyranyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl) on the chemical synthesis of oligoribonucleotides by the phosphoroamidite approach on solid support is studied and compared with 2'-deoxynucleosides. Strong dependence on the steric hindrance of 2'-substituents both for the 3'-phosphitylation and condensation steps is described.
The studies were carried out to compare the effects of food restriction and/or treadmill exercise on the development of high blood pressure and to compare immune function in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The results demonstrate that moderate food restriction from weaning or a regular treadmill exercise not only maintains significantly lower blood pressure, but also increases T-cell proliferative response against mitogens which is found to be significantly depressed in SHR fed ad libitum. A significant loss of T-cell subpopulation such as W3/25+ T helper cells and OX8+ non-helper T-cells occurring in mice fed ad libitum were restored to normal levels, including IL-2 response, in food-restricted SHR. Our results suggest that both food restriction and/or physical exercise is effective in modulating the blood pressure and increasing T-cell immune functions in SHR.
