The neomycin resistance cassette in the targeted allele of Shank3B knock-out mice has potential off-target effects to produce an unusual Shank3 isoform
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Variants of the SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 3 (SHANK3), which encodes postsynaptic scaffolds, are associated with brain disorders. The targeted alleles in a few Shank3 knock-out (KO) lines contain a neomycin resistance (Neo) cassette, which may perturb the normal expression of neighboring genes; however, this has not been investigated in detail. We previously reported an unexpected increase in the mRNA expression of Shank3 exons 1~12 in the brains of Shank3B KO mice generated by replacing Shank3 exons 13~16 with the Neo cassette. In this study, we confirmed that the increased Shank3 mRNA in Shank3B KO brains produced an unusual ~60 kDa Shank3 isoform (Shank3-N), which did not properly localize to the synaptic compartment.
