Estimates from the observed signals indicate that a large fraction of target RNAs is both retained in sections and hybridized with probe at saturation, and coupled with measurements of nonspecific background binding of heterologous probes, these data indicate that the method has sufficient sensitivity to detect many moderately abundant mRNAs.

In situ hybridization was possible after a short immersion of the glass slides in a 2% solution of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in acetone and it was found that especially harsh prehybridization drastically reduces the morphological integrity of the sections, thus rendering a reliable assignment of the label difficult.

Using in situ hybridization and affinity purified anti‐pump‐1 antibodies, the expression of pump‐1 mRNA and protein was localized to tumor cells and was not detected in stromal or lymphocytic cells, suggesting that the inappropriate expression of pumps by malignant cells may contribute to the neoplastic phenotype.

Its properties clearly distinguish it from collagenase, gelatinase, and stromelysin (matrix metalloproteinase 3); it constitutes a further member of the family of extracellular matrix metalloendopeptidases.

The increased IGF‐I RNA in late proliferative–stage human endometrium correlates with the known elevation of estradiol secretion by the ovary and the increased concentration of uterine est radiol receptors during this stage of the menstrual cycle, which is consistent with reports of increased IGF'S RNA in the rat uterus in response to administration ofEstradiol.

Results were consistent with a primary role of progestin exposure, whether in vivo or in vitro, in converting endometrial stromal cells to cells potentially able to exhibit the high rates of IGFBP-1 production typical of the decidualized endometrium of pregnancy.

Examination of expression of the messenger RNAs encoding IGFBP-2 and IGF BP-3 in human proliferative endometrium shows that their expression is differentially regulated in secretory compared to proliferative phase endometrial (different steroidogenic environments), and that the synthesis of both IGFBP/IGF/IGBP-3 proteins is regulated by steroid hormones.
