Phenotypic Profile
Category Entity Quantity Experimental Paradigm Age at Testing
Neuroanatomy / Ultrastructure / Cytoarchitecture Synapse density1
Decreased
Description: impairment of the canonical and non-canonical synaptogenic pathways in these mutant mice by coculture assays using NRXN1β and PTPδA3Bâ?? beads

Immunostaining Adult
Social behavior Social interaction1
Increased
Description: mutant mice spent more time in proximity with the other mice than their wild-type littermates; no change in number of counts of defensive upright posture measured by elevated head-head contacts throughout the test period

Reciprocal social interaction test Adult
Social behavior Social approach1
Increased
Description: mutants and their wild-type littermates spent more time in the chamber with the stranger mouse than in the chamber with the non-social empty cage, suggesting that disruption of the canonical NLGN3â??NRXN interaction enhances sociability development

Three-chamber social approach test Adult
Molecular profile Protein binding1
Abnormal
Description: in cortical neurons from Nlgn3hse mutant male mice, NRXN1β-beads failed to induce accumulation of NLGN3 while Shank2 and gephyrin signals on the NRXN1β-beads were attenuated but not completely abolished ; PTPδA3Bâ??-mediated accumulation of NLGN3 and gephyrin, but not Shank2, was upregulated

Immunostaining Adult
Molecular profile Protein binding1
Increased
Description: anti-NLGN3 antibody coimmunoprecipitated more PTPδ in the brains of the Nlgn3hse mutants than in those of wild-type littermates, indicating the canonical NLGN3â??NRXN transsynaptic pathway is impaired

Co-immunoprecipitation Adult
Molecular profile Protein degradation: proteasome1 No change Immunostaining Adult
Molecular profile Protein expression: In situ protein expression1 No change Western blot Adult
Motor phenotype Motor coordination and balance1 No change Accelerating rotarod test Adult
Neurophysiology Synaptic transmission: inhibitory1 No change Whole-cell patch clamp Adult
Not Reported:
