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**
MK801 3.9 ± 0.2** 30**
CPCCOEt
6.6 ± 0.3**
53*

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.
