Rescue of histone hypoacetylation and social deficits by ketogenic diet in a Shank3 mouse model of autism

Luye Qin et al.

Summary: Genetic sequencing in humans has identified epigenetic and synaptic abnormalities as the top risk factors for autism. The study shows that histone acetylation is reduced and HDAC2 expression is increased in the prefrontal cortex of autistic patients. Treatment with a ketogenic diet in Shank3-deficient mice restores histone acetylation and improves social behavior deficits, suggesting a promising therapeutic strategy for autism.

Mutations affecting the N-terminal domains of SHANK3 point to different pathomechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders

Daniel Woike et al.

Summary: Shank proteins are important for the structure of excitatory synapses. Mutations in SHANK genes are linked to autism and intellectual disability. This study identifies a new missense mutation in SHANK3 that is associated with an ADHD-like phenotype. Functional analysis shows that these mutations disrupt the interactions between Shank3 and other key molecules, leading to severe neurodevelopmental pathology.

Homer1a regulates Shank3 expression and underlies behavioral vulnerability to stress in a model of Phelan-McDermid syndrome

Raozhou Lin et al.

Summary: The study reveals an interaction between stress and genetics in individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome caused by mutations of SHANK3, impacting the transcriptional response in pyramidal neurons and genes involved in synaptic function. Further experiments demonstrate that Homer1a plays a role in regulating Shank3 expression and mitigating stress-induced behavioral deficits in mice with Shank3 mutations.

Restoring glutamate receptosome dynamics at synapses rescues autism-like deficits in Shank3-deficient mice

Enora Moutin et al.

Summary: Mutations in the Shank3 gene lead to autism spectrum disorders through disrupting the integrity of the glutamate receptosome, affecting synaptic plasticity and behaviors. Fine-tuning protein-protein interactions within the glutamate receptosome controlled by changes in neuronal activity play a crucial role in regulating plasticity. Restoring the integrity of the glutamate receptosome and its sensitivity to neuronal activity could rescue synaptic transmission, plasticity, and behaviors associated with Shank3 mutations.

Genetic Findings as the Potential Basis of Personalized Pharmacotherapy in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome

Brianna Dyar et al.

Summary: Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is characterized by autism-related behaviors, often linked to haploinsufficiency of the SHANK3 gene. Treatment for PMS involves repurposed drugs targeting SHANK3, with clinical trials exploring the use of IGF-1, intranasal insulin, and lithium. The complexity of pharmacogenomics and the involvement of the CYP2D6 enzyme in metabolizing medications make therapy challenging for individuals with PMS.
