Post-meiotic transcription is widespread in mammalian spermatogenesis, but is generally believed to be absent from Drosophila spermatogenesis. Genes required during meiosis, in early spermatids or later in spermiogenesis are typically transcribed in primary spermatocytes in Drosophila. Their mRNAs are then stored in the cytoplasm until the protein product is needed. Recently, using in situ hybridization, we identified 17 Drosophila genes, collectively named ‘comets’ and ‘cups’, whose mRNAs are most abundant in, and localize to the distal ends of, elongating spermatids. Using a single-cyst quantitative RT–PCR (reverse transcription–PCR) assay, we confirmed this unusual expression pattern and conclusively demonstrate the existence of post-meiotic transcription in Drosophila spermatids. We found that transcription of comets and cups occurs just before protamines can be detected in spermatid nuclei.

Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) leads to interstitial fibrosis of the obstructed kidney, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is thought to play an important role in this process. Although increased TGF-β1 mRNA expression in the obstructed kidney has been demonstrated, the source of the increased TGF-β1 remains to be elucidated. To determine the precise localization of TGF-β1 in the obstructed kidney, we examined TGF-β1 mRNA expression using in situ hybridization and competitive RT-PCR in rats with UUO. In situ hybridization demonstrated that TGF-β1 mRNA expression was preferentially increased in tubular epithelial cells and to a lesser degree in infiltrating macrophages in obstructed kidneys. Quantitative analysis using competitive RT-PCR in microdissected nephron segments revealed that levels of TGF-β1 mRNA in obstructed kidneys relative to control kidneys increased significantly in proximal tubules, thick ascending limbs of Henle, and distal convoluted tubules, whereas those in glomeruli and collecting ducts did not change significantly. Of the tubular segments, the proximal tubules appeared to predominantly contribute to increased TGF-β1 mRNA. Our findings suggest that renal tubules, particularly proximal tubules, are the main contributors to increased TGF-β1 mRNA expression in obstructed kidneys and to the subsequent interstitial fibrosis.

Abstract Estrogen, if it is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, may overflow into the systemic circulation in the case of increased portal-systemic shunting. This idea is in accord with a significant step-up in serum estradiol (E2) concentration in the portal vein of rats, compared with that in the artery. Gene expression of aromatase, estrogen synthetase, was demonstrated by RT-PCR in the gastric mucosa of male and female adult rats, equivalent to that in the ovary. Aromatase activity and production of E2 in the gastric mucosa were demonstrated by 3H2O assay and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and they were inhibited by aromatase inhibitor, 4-hydroxyandrostenedione. Conversion of 14C-androstenedione to 14C-E2 through 14C-testosterone in cultured gastric mucosa was also demonstrated. Parietal cells exhibited strong signals for aromatase mRNA and immunoreactive protein by in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Estrogen receptor α mRNA and immunoreactive protein were demonstrated in hepatocytes by RT-PCR, in situ hybridization histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. Total gastrectomy reduced portal venous E2 concentration, without changing systemic E2 concentration, together with down-regulation of estrogen receptor α mRNA level in the liver. These findings indicate that gastric parietal cells play a potent endocrine role in secreting estrogen that may function as a regulator of the gastro-hepatic axis.
