This study shows that mice born to diabetic dams display abnormally organized hypothalamic feeding pathways that could result from attenuated responsiveness of hypothalamic neurons to neurotropic actions of leptin during neonatal development. These results indicate that insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia during pregnancy have long-term consequences for metabolic regulation of the offspring.

Embryos exposed to diabetes in pregnancy at gestational day 10.5 had significantly altered gene expression, including 126 genes that were more than twofold changed, when compared with gene expression profiles from control embryos. These results support the idea that embryos exposed to maternal diabetes have altered gene expression profiles that can thereby alter critical developmental pathways in the offspring.

Expression of the pancreatic homeobox transcription factor Pdx1 is permanently reduced in IUGR islets, suggesting an epigenetic mechanism is responsible for the silencing. This study demonstrates a novel mechanism whereby a short treatment course of Ex-4 in the newborn period permanently increases HAT activity by recruiting USF1 and PCAF to the Pdx1 promoter. This restores chromatin structure at the Pdx1 promoter and prevents DNA methylation, thus preserving Pdx1 transcription in IUGR islets.
