BackgroundTolbutamide is a sulfonylurea oral hypoglycemic agent widely used for the treatment of non insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus. Tolbutamide produces dysmorphogenesis in rodent embryos and becomes concentrated in the embryonic heart after maternal oral dosing. Tolbutamide increases glucose metabolism in extra‐pancreatic adult tissues, but this has not previously been examined in embryonic heart.MethodsCD‐1 mouse embryos were exposed on GD 9.5 to tolbutamide (0, 100, 250, or 500 μg/ml) for 6, 12, or 24 hr in whole‐embryo culture. Isolated hearts were evaluated for3H‐2DG uptake and conversion of14C‐glucose to14C‐lactate. Glut‐1, HKI, and GRP78 protein levels were determined by Western analysis, and Glut‐1 mRNA was measured by RT‐PCR.ResultsCardiac3H‐2DG uptake increased after exposure to 500 μg/ml tolbutamide for 6 hr, and 100, 250, or 500 μg/ml tolbutamide for 24 hr, compared to controls. Glycolysis increased after exposure to 500 μg/ml tolbutamide for 6 or 24 hr compared to controls. Glut‐1 protein levels increased in hearts exposed to 500 μg/ml tolbutamide for 12 or 24 hr, and Glut‐1 mRNA increased in hearts exposed to 500 μg/ml tolbutamide for 24 hr compared to controls. HKI protein levels increased in hearts exposed to 500 μg/ml tolbutamide for 6 hr, but not 12 or 24 hr. There was no effect on GRP78 protein levels in hearts exposed to tolbutamide for 6, 12, or 24 hr.ConclusionsTolbutamide stimulates glucose uptake and metabolism in the embryonic heart, as occurs in adult extra‐pancreatic tissues. Glut‐1 and HKI, but not GRP78, are likely involved in tolbutamide‐induced cardiac dysmorphogenesis. Teratology 65:19–25, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
