The effects of estradiol treatment, which stimulates cell division in rat uterine epithelial cells, on the in vivo expression of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), cyclin D1, and cyclin B1 messenger RNA (mRNA) in these cells have been examined using ribonuclease protection assays. Estradiol gave rise to significant increases in steady state levels of HB-EGF 2 and 24 h after treatment. Cyclin D1 mRNA levels were elevated 8 and 10 h after estradiol administration, corresponding to the G1 phase of the mitotic cycle, and cyclin B1 mRNA was only expressed 16-24 h after estradiol treatment, which corresponds to the G2 and M phases of the rat uterine epithelial cell cycle. Estradiol-stimulated increases in HB-EGF mRNA were not affected by treatment with cycloheximide, but were inhibited by the estrogen antagonist compound, ICI 164,384, demonstrating that the estrogen-stimulated increase in HB-EGF mRNA is a primary, estrogen receptor-mediated response of rat uterine epithelium to estradiol. Progesterone treatment, which blocks epithelial cells in G1 of the cycle, suppressed levels of HB-EGF mRNA below those observed in ovariectomized rats. These results indicate that HB-EGF mediates the regulatory effects of both estradiol and progesterone on rat uterine epithelial cell proliferation through an effect on the production of G1 phase molecules such as cyclin D1.
