Intronic in situ hybridization methodology provides a means of determining the rate of gene transcription under basal and stimulated conditions. In the present study, we have used intronic in situ hybridization to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) gene to measure hypothalamic CRF gene transcription after stress as well as its modulation by glucocorticoids. Using this and conventional exonic in situ hybridization we examined the time course of changes in c-fos mRNA, and CRF heteronuclear RNA (hnRNA) and mRNA concentrations in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of male Wistar rats after restraint stress. In addition, we determined the effects of adrenalectomy and dexamethasone administration on c-fos and CRF gene expression in the PVN. Restraint stress induced a rapid induction (within 5 min) of c-fos mRNA and CRF hnRNA expression in the PVN. Both RNA concentrations peaked at 30 min then decreased and were undetectable 2 h after stress onset. In contrast, the concentration of CRF mRNA increased gradually and a significant elevation was first detected 60 min after the beginning of stress. Adrenalectomy augmented and dexamethasone pretreatment inhibited c-fos mRNA, CRF hnRNA, and mRNA induction after stress. The data suggest that stress-induced activation of neurons, CRF gene transcription, and CRF synthesis in the PVN are modulated by glucocorticoids.
