The presence of testicular pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA and POMC-derived peptides has recently been demonstrated in purified preparations of interstitial macrophages and in Leydig cells of the adult rat testis by Northern blot analysis and immunocytochemistry. In the present study, in situ hybridization provided further evidence that the POMC gene is expressed by both purified interstitial macrophages and Leydig cells. The cellular localization of the POMC transcripts was similar for both cell types, silver grains being predominantly located in the cytoplasm. The specificity of the labelling was demonstrated by the lack of silver grains in the preparations pretreated with RNAase or hybridized with an insulin cDNA probe, a gene known not to be expressed in these cell types. An additional control was provided by hybridization with a sense POMC RNA probe, which gave a less intense signal when compared with the antisense RNA probe under the same experimental conditions. The results confirm POMC gene expression in both macrophages and Leydig cells in the adult rat testis.

RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) is used to visualize spatio-temporal gene expression patterns with broad applications in biology and biomedicine. Here we provide a protocol for mRNA ISH in developing pupal wings and abdomens for model and non-model Drosophila species. We describe best practices in pupal staging, tissue preparation, probe design and synthesis, imaging of gene expression patterns, and image-editing techniques. This protocol has been successfully used to investigate the roles of genes underlying the evolution of novel color patterns in non-model Drosophila species.
