Neural tube defects (NTDs) in infants of diabetic mothers are associated with increased protein kinase C β2 (PKCβ2) activity and programmed cell death (apoptosis) in the neuroepithelium during early embryogenesis. Apoptosis in diabetic embryopathy is triggered by caspase8, an initiator caspase which activates a cascade of molecular events involving members of the caspase and Bcl-2 families, such as caspase3 and Bid, as well as Cytochrome C. Whether PKCβ2 regulates caspase8-induced apoptosis remains to be addressed. Mouse embryos at embryonic (E) day 8.5 (E8.5) were cultured in a high concentration of glucose (22 mM) and treated with PKCβ2 inhibitor (50 nM) for 48 hours. The embryonic development and NTDs were examined. Apoptosis was assessed using TUNEL assay. Changes in activation of apoptotic factors were assessed using Western blot assay. Inhibition of PKCβ2 significantly reduced NTD rate to the similar level as in euglycemic control (8.3 mM). Activation of caspase8, as indicated with a cleaved form, was significantly lower than that in the hyperglycemic group (p<0.05), and similar to that in euglycemic control. Similar results were also observed for Cytochrome C, caspase3, and Bid (p<0.05). PKCβ2 mediates the effect of maternal hyperglycemia on embryonic NTDs in diabetic embryopathy by influencing a caspase8-regulated apoptotic pathway.
