    Notes: Abstract  The sensitivity and practicability of in situ hybridization methods utilizing isotopic or non-radioactive labeling were compared. The aim of this study was to determine whether digoxigenin-labeled riboprobes are as sensitive as 35S-labeled probes to detect changes in type I and IV procollagen expression in an animal model of rat gastric ulcer. Both labeling and detection methods yielded similar results, with a superimposable signal distribution in the specimens. High levels of procollagen type I and IV transcripts were observed in spindle-shaped cells, presumably fibroblasts or myofibroblasts, localized in the ulcer base and rim. The increased expression of these collagen types suggests a remarkable upregulation of collagen expression during the healing of gastric ulcers. Liver tissue adhering to perforated ulcers displayed signals related to non-parenchymal cells, with hepatocytes demonstrating no detectable transcripts of type I or IV collagen genes. Due to the identical pattern of signal distribution by both hybridization techniques it is concluded that non-radioactive in situ hybridization is of value in monitoring highly expressed genes and yields results similar to those achieved with radioactive probes. In these cases, non-radioactive techniques are preferable because they are performed more rapidly and do not require handling of isotopes.

    Notes: Abstract. The restoration of gastric tissue after ulceration involves cellular and matrix components. Our aim was to investigate the kinetics of collagen expression and cellular proliferation in an animal model of gastric ulcer. To demonstrate the expression of type I and IV collagen mRNAs by proliferating cells, a method combining in-situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry was devised. In order to avoid the disadvantages of radioisotopes, digoxigenin-labeled RNA-riboprobes were utilized and combined with single-step immunohistochemistry. This method proved sensitive enough to detect type I and IV procollagen mRNA transcripts in the submucosal area beneath the ulcer crater or adjacent to the ulcer rim. In addition, a subset of cells transcribing either procollagen type I or IV RNA was concomitantly positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen by immunohistochemistry. Focal proliferation of cells simultaneously expressing extracellular matrix components may therefore occur in the gastric submucosa after ulceration, starting as soon as 3 days after the insult and continuing for several weeks. The devised method of combined in-situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry can be used with standard paraffin-embedded tissues, yields results within 2 days, and avoids radioisotopes.
