The translocation of progesterone receptor from the cytosol into the nucleus was studied under "in vivo" and "in vitro" conditions in the uteri of guinea pig fetuses exposed to progesterone or a synthetic progestin, R5020. Progesterone treatment of estrogen-primed fetuses leads to a rapid (before 1h) transfer of cytosol progesterone receptor into the nucleus which is, however, short-lived (less than 3h). A rapid decrease in the retention of the estrogen receptor in the nucleus also occurs. In the "in vitro" incubations of whole fetal uteri, translocation of progesterone receptor is temperature-dependent and specific for progesterone and R5020; estradiol and cortisol have no effect. Putative progesterone receptors can also be induced in explants of fetal guinea pig uteri in organ culture which translocate from the cytosol into the nucleus under the same "in vitro" conditions as in whole uteri. Fetal uterine progesterone receptor, either stimulated "in vivo" by estrogen-priming or induced in organ culture, translocates from the cytosol into the nucleus and this process seems to be accompanied by a decrease in retention of the estrogen receptor in the nucleus which appears to be the mechanism by which progesterone antagonises estrogen action in fetal guinea pig uterus.
