| 概要 |
Pregestational diabetes is a risk factor for congenital anomalies, including heterotaxy syndrome, a rare birth defect characterized by the abnormal arrangement of organs relative to the left-right (L-...R) body axis. To provide insight into the underlying mechanism by which diabetes induces heterotaxy, we here analyzed the L-R axis of mouse embryos of diabetic dams. Various Pitx2 expression patterns indicative of disruption of L-R axis formation were apparent in such embryos. Expression of Nodal at the node, which triggers a Nodal-Pitx2 expression cascade in lateral plate mesoderm, showed marked regression associated with L-R axis malformation. This regression was similar to that apparent in Wnt3a^<−/−> embryos, and canonical Wnt signalling was indeed found to be downregulated in embryos of diabetic dams. RNA sequencing revealed dysregulation of glycolysis in embryos of diabetic dams, and high glucose lowered intracellular pH in the primitive streak, leading to the suppression of Wnt signalling and the regression of Nodal expression. Of note, maternal vitamin A intake increased the incidence of L-R axis defects in embryos of diabetic dams, with dysregulation of retinoic acid metabolism being apparent in these embryos and in Wnt3a^<−/−> embryos. Our results shed light on the mechanisms underlying embryopathies associated with maternal diabetes and suggest the importance of diet for prevention of heterotaxy.続きを見る
