35S-labeled synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes were used to measure levels of vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) mRNAs in rat hypothalamus by quantitative in situ hybridization histochemistry (ISHH). VP and OT mRNA-containing cells were seen in the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei. VP mRNA was found to increase five-fold in the parvocellular region of the PVN after adrenalectomy while no changes occurred in magnocellular VP or OT mRNA levels. In the Brattleboro rat, VP mRNA levels were decreased and OT mRNA levels increased in the magnocellular regions. RNA species containing the VP introns were present at one fortieth of the level of processed VP mRNA in control rats. We also performed ISHH followed by immunohistochemistry on the same sections. We found that VP and its encoding mRNA were always located together as were OT-neurophysin and its encoding mRNA. In this study, we extend previous work by showing the characteristic distributions in the PVN and SON of VP and OT mRNA-containing cells and by measuring neuropeptide mRNA changes.
