Microinjection of LiCl into prospective ventral blastomeres of the 32-cellXenopusembryo gives rise to duplication of dorsoanterior structures such as the notochord, neural tube, eyes, and cement gland. We report here that this teratogenic effect of Li+is prevented by coinjection of equimolarmyo-inositol, an intermediate of the polyphosphoinositide cycle. In contrast,epi-inositol, a nonbiological positional isomer of inositol not employed in this cycle, is ineffective at rescuing Li+-injected embryos. Treatment of embryos at stage 7 with the tumor promoter, phorbol myristate acetate (an analog of the polyphosphoinositide cycle-derived second messenger, diacylglycerol), also prevents dorsoanterior duplication of Li+embryos, while the nontransforming analog, phorbol myristate acetate-4-O-methyl ether, is without effect. Both of these rescuing agents are without obvious effects on development when administered alone (i.e., without Li+). Li+-selective microelectrode measurements demonstrate that intracellular Li+levels are identical when Li+is injected with or withoutmyo-inositol. Clonal analysis shows that blastomeres injected with Li+plusmyo-inositol make a normal contribution of progeny to the later embryo. Because Li+is a well-established inhibitor of the polyphosphoinositide cycle and can thereby have profound effects on cellularmyo-inositol and diacylglycerol levels, these observations concerning inositol-mediated rescue suggest a role for altered polyphosphoinositide cycle activity in lithium-induced teratogenesis.
