abstract = {Mutations or deletions in the SHANK3 gene have been
identified in up to $1\%$ of autism spectrum disorder cases
and are considered the primary cause of neuropsychiatric
symptoms in Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS). While synaptic
dysfunctions have been extensively documented in the absence
of Shank3, other mechanisms through which Shank3 may
regulate neuronal functions remain unclear. In this study,
we report that the ribosomal protein Rpl3 and overall
protein synthesis are downregulated in the cortex and
striatum of Shank3 knockout (KO) mice and in neurons
differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells
(hiPSCs) derived from a PMS patient. Moreover, restoring
Rpl3 expression in the striatum of Shank3 KO mice was
sufficient to rescue protein synthesis and mitigate
excessive grooming, suggesting that the behavioral
alterations observed in Shank3 KO mice might be, at least in
part, caused by Rpl3 downregulation and consequent impaired
protein synthesis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that chronic
inhibition of mGlu5 is sufficient to reduce Rpl3 expression,
which in turn impairs global protein synthesis.
Consequently, chronic treatment with VU0409551, a potent and
selective mGlu5 positive allosteric modulator, rescues Rpl3
expression and the resulting reduction in protein synthesis,
leading to long-lasting improvements in behavioral deficits
in Shank3 KO mice Altogether, we propose a new role for
Shank3 in modulating Rpl3 protein expression, ribosomal
function, and protein synthesis by downregulating mGlu5
receptor activity.},
