Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder with profoundly debilitating symptoms with no FDA-approved cure or therapeutic. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and its receptor TrkB, have a well-established role as regulators of synaptic plasticity, dendritic outgrowth, dendritic spine formation and maintenance. Previously, we reported that the association of PSD-95 with TrkB is critical for intact BDNF signaling in the AS mouse model, as illustrated by attenuated PLCγ and PI3K signaling and intact MAPK pathway signaling. These data suggest that drugs tailored to enhance the TrkB-PSD-95 interaction may provide a novel approach for the treatment of AS and a variety of NDDs. To evaluate this critical interaction, we synthesized a class of high-affinity PSD-95 ligands that bind specifically to the PDZ3 domain of PSD-95, denoted as Syn3 peptidomimetic ligands. We evaluated Syn3 and its analog D-Syn3 (engineered using dextrorotary (D)-amino acids) in vivo using the Ube3a exon 2 deletion mouse model of AS. Following systemic administration of Syn3 and D-Syn3, we demonstrated improvement in the seizure domain of AS. Learning and memory using the novel object recognition assay also illustrated improved cognition following Syn3 and D-Syn3, along with restored long-term potentiation. Finally, D-Syn3 treated mice showed a partial rescue in motor learning. Neither Syn3 nor D-Syn3 improved gross exploratory locomotion deficits, nor gait impairments that have been well documented in the AS rodent models. These findings highlight the need for further investigation of this compound class as a potential therapeutic for AS and other genetic NDDs.
