c-fmsand c-kitare structurally related tyrosine kinase receptors for colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and forsteelfactor (SF), respectively. The level of c-fmsmRNA, like c-kitmRNA, increases during the maturation of oocytes and is an abundant maternal message found in the unfertilized oocyte. Following fertilization, the level of both c-fmsand c-kitoocyte mRNAs decreases rapidly until they are no longer detected by the early 2-cell stage. By the late 2-cell stage, both mRNAs are reexpressed, albeit at low levels. This low level of mRNA expression continues throughout preimplantation development. CSF-1 and SF transcripts are not detected in early preimplantation embryos, but are detected in cumulus cells, oviduct, and uterus, suggesting a paracrine action of these growth factors during the preimplantation period. The patterns of CSF-1/c-fmsmRNA and SF/c-kitmRNA expression are consistent with the hypothesis that these two ligand/receptor systems may act in a compensatory or synergistic manner during preimplantation development.
