The induction of ovalbumin mRNA (mRNAov) and conalbumin mRNA (mRNAcon) during primary stimulation of the chick oviduct with estrogen was monitored by hybridization with complementary DNAs (cDNA). Approximately 4 mRNAovand 30 mRNAconmolecules per cell were detected in the unstimulated oviduct and these levels increased to about 250 and 300 molecules/cell, respectively, after 1 day of treatment with estradiol benzoate. The rates of accumulation of both mRNAs were about an order of magnitude lower than the rates observed during secondary stimulation, i.e., in birds withdrawn from prior estrogen treatment and then restimulated.In situhybridization with cDNAovrevealed that nearly all of the epithelial cells of the oviduct accumulate mRNAovwithin a day of estrogen treatment and that the percentage of responsive cells is about the same as in withdrawn oviducts; thus, the submaximal response during primary stimulation cannot be explained by a difference in the number of responsive cells. The number of nuclear estrogen receptors in the oviduct increases from 850 to 4500 molecules per cell within 3 hr of estrogen administrationin vivo. These values are greater than the number of nuclear receptors measured during early secondary stimulation, implying that nuclear receptors are not the rate-limiting component during primary stimulation. Therefore, we propose that receptor-induced transcription or mRNA stabilization is suboptimal during primary stimulation. Oviduct explants incubated in culture with 100 nM17β-estradiol are able to induce mRNAovand mRNAcon. This induction occurs without a significant change in DNA synthesis and is unaffected by hydroxyurea. These observations, taken together with thein vivostudies, indicate that primary stimulation of the oviduct with estrogen is qualitatively similar to secondary stimulation and that the initial accumulation of mRNAovand mRNAconoccurs prior to cell division. Neither progesterone nor glucocorticoids induce mRNAovor mRNAconduring primary stimulation, whereas they are both as effective as estrogen during early secondary stimulation. Thus, during primary stimulation with estrogen, the oviduct becomes responsive to these other steroid hormones. This responsiveness is maintained even in the absence of continued estrogen stimulation. Estrogen must be present for more than 36 hr to allow subsequent secondary stimulation with progesterone. Progesterone receptor levels increase several-fold between 36 and 48 hr after primary stimulation with estrogen; this time correlates well with the time when progesterone begins to show effects on mRNA accumulation and morphogenesis.
