We describe a novel histochemical procedure for simultaneous detection of mRNA expression by in situ hybridization (ISH) and DNA synthesis on cells that are pulse-labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) by immunohistochemistry (ICC). Pregnant rats were injected with BrdU at embryonic Day 20 and the olfactory bulbs of their pups were collected daily. The expression of calmodulin (CaM) mRNA was analyzed by ISH with an anti-sense digoxigenin-labeled riboprobe and BrdU incorporation by indirect ICC. Starting 5 days after BrdU injection, a few tufted and granular neurons of the olfactory bulb were observed to be double labeled for CaM mRNA and BrdU. To study the olfactory neuroepithelium, adult animals were injected with BrdU, sacrificed after 30 days, and the nasal mucosa dissected and decalcified. The co-expression of CaM mRNA and BrdU incorporation was then analyzed in the olfactory neuroepithelium: BrdU-positive primary olfactory neurons were also CaM mRNA positive. The combination of ISH and ICC on the same section resulted in improved BrdU staining with respect to both increased intensity and reduced background levels. The procedure described here can be applied to a variety of problems in developmental biology and is of potential value for correlating the timing of specific mRNA expression with the birth date of a cell type of interest.
