The objective of the present study was to identify and characterize in a limited manner the major de novo oviductal secretory proteins (OSP) synthesized and released by the porcine oviduct. Oviductal tissue was collected on various days of the estrous cycle (EC) and early pregnancy (EP) and cultured in a modified minimal essential medium supplemented with 100 muCi L-[3H]-leucine. Oviductal secretory activity, as measured by the rate of incorporation of 3H-leucine (dpm/mg wet tissue weight) into nondialyzable macromolecules, was greatest (P less than .01) between days 0 and 2 and reached its lowest levels on days 10 to 15. There was no difference between left and right side or pregnancy status. This increased rate of incorporation at proestrus and estrus is temporally associated with elevated levels of estrogen. Incorporation rate for ampulla was greater than for the isthmus. Analysis of oviductal culture medium by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography revealed three protein bands of relative molecular weight (Mr) 335,000, 115,000, and 85,000, which were associated with proestrus, estrus, and metestrus and were not detectable on other days. All three proteins also incorporated 3H-glucosamine. The 115,000 Mr band was the major 3H-glucosamine-labeled protein. Two protein bands (Mr 60,000 and 20,000) were expressed with increasing progesterone during diestrus. Other de novo synthesized protein bands appear to be present throughout the EC and EP with little modulation by estrogen or progesterone. Thus, this study demonstrates that for the porcine oviduct, the increase in the incorporation rate of 3H-leucine into OSP by both whole oviduct and ampulla and de novo synthesis and secretion of three glycoproteins, Mr 335,000, 115,000, and 85,000, were associated with proestrus and estrus when events such as fertilization and early cleavage stages of embryo development occurred.
