    Generation and validation of a knock-out mice with a complete deletion of Shank3. A, Schematic design for generation of a Shank3Δ4-22 complete knock-out mouse using a Cre-loxP strategy. Bruce4 C57BL/6 embryonic stem cells from a previously generated mouse with two LoxP site located upstream exon 4 and downstream exon 9 (top, red triangles) were retargeted to insert an additional LoxP site 155 pb downstream of exon 22 (green triangle). Floxed mice were crossed with CMV-Cre mice to generate ubiquitous deletion of exons 4–22 (bottom). ANK, ankyrin repeats; SH3, Src homology 3 domain; PDZ, PSD/Dlg1/zo-1 domain; Pro, proline-rich domain; SAM, sterile α-motif domain. The positions of the PCR primers (P1, P2, P3) for genotyping are indicated. B, Expression of Shank3 in PSD fractions. PSD fractions from wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous mice were subjected to immunoblotting with either the N367/62 anti-Shank3 antibody directed against an epitope in the SH3 domain or the H160 C-terminal antibody. Immunoblots show that all Shank3 protein bands are absent in KO brains. The migration of molecular weight markers is shown on the left (in kilodaltons) and an immunoblot for βIII-tubulin as a loading control is shown below. Original full scans of immunoblots are displayed in Extended Data Figure 1-1. C, RT-PCR analysis for specific Shank3 transcripts in Shank3Δ4-22 mice. Brain-derived mRNAs from wild-type and homozygous mice were subjected to RT-PCR targeting different isoforms. All transcripts were absent in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice. D, Distribution of genotype. A deficit in the number of Shank3Δ4-22 knockout mice was observed at the time of weaning. E, Survival curve of Shank3Δ4-22 wild-type, heterozygous and homozygous mice between 2 and 22 months. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knockout mice. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.1.

    Delayed developmental milestones of in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. Analysis of markers of developmental milestones revealed genotype differences in Shank3Δ4-22 wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous pups between postnatal days 1 and 21 on measures of (A) body weight, (B) auditory startle, (C) air righting, (D) wire suspension, (E) grasping reflex, and (F) negative geotaxis. Additional milestones (jar opening, tooth eruption, fur development, eye opening, rooting reflex, cliff aversion, ear twitch, surface righting, open field crossing, and ultrasonic vocalizations) are displayed in Extended Data Figure 2-1. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *: WT versus KO; o: WT versus Het, #: Het versus KO. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Impaired motor performances in in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Average stance, stride, and sway. Gait analysis showed an increase stride length in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice. B, Distance traveled during a 60-min session in an open field. Spontaneous locomotor activity in the open field was reduced in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice relative to other genotypes. C, Latency to fall over six trials (three trials per day for two consecutive days) in the accelerating rotarod task. Motor learning on the accelerating rotarod was deficient in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice compared to wild-type animals as they failed to improve over time. Heterozygous mice had an intermediate phenotype. D, Percentage of falls and distance crossed during the beam walking test. While not different on the large (L, 1 inch) and medium (M, ½ inch) beams, Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice were strongly impaired in the small (S, ¼ inch) beam walking test, as shown by a significant increase of the number of falls and a decrease of the distance crossed. E, Strength and endurance measured in the inverted screen and hanging tests. Endurance strength was significantly impaired in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice as they exhibited significantly shorter latency to fall in both the inverted screen and hanging tests. Additional results of motor tests (hindlimb placing and grip strength) are available in Extended Data Figure 3-1. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *: WT versus KO; o: WT versus Het, #: Het versus KO. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Altered sensory profile in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Somatosensation evaluated with corneal reflex, toe pinch retraction, pinna reflex, and tail flick. Normal tactile and pain responses were observed in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. B, Auditory functions measured with the Preyer reflex and startle response to increasing sound intensities. No genotype difference was observed for Preyer reflex, however startle response was decreased in both heterozygous and homozygous Shank3Δ4-22 mice compared to their wild-type littermate with genotype differences being more marked for the higher startle intensities. Pre-pulse inhibition results are displayed in Extended Data Figure 4-1A. C, Gross visual function assessed by the visual placing test. Normal visual placing was observed for all genotypes. D, Olfactory abilities evaluated by the time to find hidden food in buried food test and the cumulative time sniffing the applicator without direct interactions during olfactory habituation and dishabituation to nonsocial and social odors. Strong impairments were observed in the buried food test for Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice as shown by a significant increase in the latency to retrieve the buried food, compared to their heterozygous and wild-type littermates. Individual performances are available in Extended Data Figure 4-1B. Similarly, a significant lack of interest for nonsocial scents (water, banana, and lemon) was observed in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice but not in heterozygotes and wild-type during olfactory habituation/dishabituation, while they still displayed normal habituation/dishabituation for social scents (unfamiliar male and female bedding). The olfactory habituation and dishabituation to nonsocial and social odors was measured as cumulative time spent sniffing a sequence of identical and novel odors delivered on cotton swabs inserted into a clean cage. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Social behavior of Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Male social interaction in response to the presentation of an unfamiliar conspecific female in estrus and scored by the cumulative sniffing time and latency from the male toward different body regions of the female. No genotype differences were evident in the dyadic male-female social interaction for the overall sniffing time from the male toward the female, however a trend toward a decrease in anogenital sniffing as well as a significant increase of the latency to initiate the first anogenital sniffing event was observed in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice. B, Preference for social stimulus in the three-chambered social interaction test measured by cumulative time interacting with either a mouse or an inanimate object. All three genotypes demonstrated a significant preference for an unfamiliar mouse over a nonsocial object. C, Social transmission of food preference measured by the time spent by the test mouse sniffing the demonstrator mouse and the time spent interacting with both cued and noncued food. All genotypes had a strong preference for the food flavor presented by the demonstrator mouse. USVs and time spent sniffing the demonstrator during the demonstrator interaction phase are displayed in Extended Data Figure 5-1. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Object avoidance behavior in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Short-term memory measured by the time of interaction with familiar and new object in the novel object recognition test. The test consisted of a training with two identical objects followed 1 h later by a testing session where one of the object was replaced by a novel object. During the testing session, both wild-type and Shank3Δ4-22 heterozygous mice had a strong preference for the novel object over the familiar object, while Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice failed to display a preference. However, this failure was due to an avoidance of both objects as shown by the strong decrease in object interaction and the increase in latency to explore any of the object for the first time in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous animals, rather than to a real lack of object preference. Representative heatmaps for the three genotypes are available in Extended Data Figure 6-1A. B, Repetitive behavior and object avoidance measured in the marble burying test by the number of marble buried during a 30-min session. Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice displayed a strongly impaired burying behavior, leaving most of the marbles undisturbed. Representative pictures and individual data are displayed in Extended Data Figure 6-1B. C, Time spend exploring objects in the repetitive novel object contact task. Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice spent significantly less time interacting with the objects than their wild-type and heterozygous littermates. D, Nest building scores. Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice are building less elaborate nests and use less nesting material than their wild-type and heterozygous littermates. Representative pictures of the nests and individual data are displayed in Extended Data Figure 6-1C. E, Time interacting with the scent applicator (touching, biting, climbing) during the olfactory habituation/dishabituation test. Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice are avoiding interaction with the scent applicator for all nonsocial scents and for a social male scent but have interaction level similar to wild-type and heterozygous animals when presented with a female scent. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Hyper-reactivity and escape behavior in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Hyper-reactivity measured by animal response in touch escape, positional passivity, and catalepsy. Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice have hyper-reactive responses as shown by a higher score in the touch escape indicating an escape response to lighter strokes, a lower score in positional passivity indicating that they struggle more when restrained, and a lower latency to get off a rdownod in the catalepsy test. B, Impulsivity in the negative geotaxis and beam walking tests. The latency to start turning in the negative geotaxis test and to start crossing in the beam walking test are significantly lower in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice compared to their wild-type and heterozygous littermates and often associated with higher failure rates (data not shown) thus demonstrating impulsive behavior. C, Escape behavior measured in different tests with increased inanimate object exposure. No escape attempts were observed for any genotype during the habituation phase of the buried food test (empty home cage with clean bedding). Object exposure induced a significant escape behavior in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice with a number of attempts increasing with the number of objects in the cage (same home cage, four objects in the repetitive novel object contact task, 20 objects in the marble burying test). Very little escape attempts were observed in wild-type mice, while an intermediate phenotype was observed in heterozygous mice. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *: WT vs KO; o: WT vs Het. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Repetitive behavior, stereotypies, and cognitive flexibility in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Repetitive behaviors in the open field test. Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice engaged in significantly more self-grooming and rotations relative to the other genotypes. A trend toward an increase amount of head stereotypies was also observed. B, Object preference and pattern of exploration in the repetitive novel object contact task. For each mouse, the time spent interacting with each object was measured and the objects were then ranked from the most (1) to less (4) preferred (left panel). No genotype differences were observed for the proportions of visits to each object. The pattern of object exploration was analyzed by recording specific sequential pattern of visits to three or four specific toys to identify the total number of three-object or four-object sequence investigations, the number of unique sequences, and the percentage of choices of the top, top two, or top three preferred sequences. All groups had identical percentage of their preferred three-object or four-object sequences choices over the total number of sequence choices. C, Cognitive flexibility measured by reversal learning in the Barnes maze. During initial learning (d1 to d4, each point represents the mean of traveled distance for four independent trials), improvement shown by reduction of the travel distance was faster in Shank3Δ4-22 wild-type and heterozygous mice than in homozygous animals; however, by day 4, the three groups were not different anymore and all of them had a strong preference for the escape hole quadrant during the initial probe test. During the reversal training (r1 to r4, each point represents the mean of travel distance for four independent trials), Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice initially traveled for longer distances but were still able to learn the new position and performed as well as their littermates on reversal days 2, 3, and 4. However, the reversal probe test at the end of the reversal training showed that while wild-type and heterozygous animals had a significant preference for the new target quadrant, the homozygous mice had a similar preference for the quadrants containing the initial and the reversal escape holes. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *: WT versus KO; #: Het versus KO. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Learning and memory in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Working memory in Y-maze measured by spontaneous alternation behavior. All genotypes showed comparable number of arm choices, percentage of correct choices (three-way alternation), type 1 error (three consecutive choices where the first and third choices are identical), or type 2 error (three consecutive choices where the second and third choices are identical). B, Contextual and cued fear conditioning in Shank3 mice. A higher percentage of freezing was observed in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice compared to wild-type and heterozygous animals on day 1. While the difference was already present before the sound-shocks associations, it was strongly increased posttraining. No genotype differences were detected in freezing scores in the posttraining session on day 1. Opposite results were observed for contextual conditioning (day 2) and cued conditioning (day 3): Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice showed an impairment of contextual learning compared to their wild-type and heterozygous littermates but an enhancement of freezing postcues during the cued testing. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *: WT versus KO; #: Het versus KO. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.

    Anxiety-like behavior in Shank3Δ4-22-deficient mice. A, Thigmotaxic behavior in open field. No genotype differences were found for the time spent in the center of the open field, the time spent close to the chamber walls (borders), or their ratio. B, Vertical activity in open field. The cumulated time spend in free standing rears and rears against the walls of the open field were both counted. When compared to wild-type and heterozygotes littermates, Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice displayed decreased rearing activity due to a decrease of wall rears rather than free standing rears. C, Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice spent a lower amount of time in the open area when compared to wild-type and heterozygous mice. Similarly, the number of head dipping from the open arcs to the outside of the maze was reduced in Shank3Δ4-22 homozygous mice. WT, wild-type mice; Het, heterozygous mice; KO, homozygous knock-out mice. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.001.
