Quantification of wild-type Shank3 and Shank3 mutant-induced filopodia and spines and modulatory effects of glutamate receptor antagonists
Shank |
Number of spines per 100 μm |
(Spines/filopodia) × 100 |
---|---|---|
Shank3 | 33.3 ± 1.5 | 75 |
ΔCort | 16.9 ± 0.8* | 58* |
ΔAnk-SH3 | 25.9 ± 1.2* | 70 |
ΔNterm | 8.1 ± 0.4** | 25** |
Homer region | 0** | 0** |
Cterm | 0** | 0** |
DNQX | 6.1 ± 0.3** | 35** |

Values are means ± SEM obtained from 1300−10,500 protrusions (except the 0 values). Shank3, Wild-type Shank3; ΔCort, Shank3 mutant deleted of cortactin-binding site; ΔAnk-SH3, mutant deleted of the ankyrin plus SH3 domain; ΔNterm, Shank3 mutant deleted of the N terminus; Homer region, Homer-binding region of Shank3; Cterm, C-terminus of Shank3 containing the cortactin- and Abp1-binding sites plus SAM domain (detailed in Fig. 3A). DNQX, MK801, and CPCCOEt are antagonists of AMPA, NMDA, and mGluR1 receptors, respectively. *p≤0.05; **p≤0.01.
