Progesterone induces the resumption of meiotic maturation of fully grown oocytes ofRana pipiensbothin vivoandin vitro. The nature of the interaction of progesterone with the oocyte was investigated using a technique which allowed the application of steroid to a portion of the oocyte surface. Uptake of [3H]progesterone from the incubation media with time and with varying concentrations of steroid was approximately proportional to the surface area exposed. After 1.5 or 24 hr of continuous exposure of a portion of the oocyte surface to [3H]progesterone, greater than 90% of the radioactivity was associated with the hemisphere exposed. Restriction of the portion of oocyte surface exposed reduced the biological potency of progesterone in the induction of maturation as assessed by germinal vesicle breakdown. Decrease in hormone effectiveness was not due to direct physical effects of the technique. Removal of the surface restriction resulted in an increase in biological activity of the steroid; this change in steroid potency was correlated with an increase in steroid distribution over the cell. Oocytes continuously exposed over a restricted part of their surface to high levels of progesterone (10 μg/ml) matured to a limited extent. After 24 hr of incubation, 55% of the oocytes exposed to 10 μg/ml of progesterone over the animal pole matured as compared to 0% of those oocytes exposed over the vegetal pole. Using [3H]progesterone, no difference was detected in the amount of steroid taken up or retained by the two polar regions. These investigations suggest that the amount of progesterone required to induce maturation is related to its distribution over the oocyte and that the animal and vegetal hemispheres differ in their ability to respond to progesterone.
