Oxidative stress plays a causal role in diabetic embryopathy. Maternal diabetes induces heart defects and impaired transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling, which is essential for cardiogenesis. We hypothesize that mitigating oxidative stress through superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) overexpression in transgenic (Tg) mice reverses maternal hyperglycemia-impaired TGFβ signaling and its downstream effectors. Day 12.5 embryonic hearts from wild-type (WT) and SOD1 overexpressing embryos of nondiabetic (ND) and diabetic mellitus (DM) dams were used for detection of oxidative stress markers: 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and malondlaldehyde (MDA), and TGFβ1, 2, 3, phosphor (p)-TGFβ receptor II (TβRII), p-Smad2 and p-Smad3. The expression of three TGFβ responsive genes was also assessed. Day 11.5 embryonic hearts were explanted and cultured ex vivo, with or without treatments of a SOD1 mimetic (tempol) or a TGFβ recombinant protein for detection of TGFβ signaling intermediates. Levels of 4-HNE and MDA were significantly increased by maternal diabetes, and SOD1 overexpression blocked the increase of these two oxidative stress markers. Maternal diabetes suppresses the TGFβ signaling pathway by down-regulating TGFβ1 and TGFβ3 expression. Consequently, phosphorylation of TβRII, Smad2 and Smad3, downstream effectors of TGFβ, and expression of three TGFβ responsive genes were reduced by maternal diabetes, and these reductions were prevented by SOD1 overexpression. Treatment with tempol or TGFβ recombinant protein restored high glucose-suppressed TGFβ signaling intermediates and responsive gene expression. Oxidative stress mediates the inhibitory effect of hyperglycemia in the developing heart. Antioxidants, TGFβ recombinant proteins or TGFβ agonists may have potential therapeutic values in the prevention of heart defects in diabetic pregnancies.
