Abstract
Human male fibroblasts, cell line GM2987, were grown in 10% Nu-Serum or fetal bovine serum. Dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase I (DAP-I) activity was higher in cells grown with Nu-Serum and cells grown in 10% fetal bovine serum purchased from Grand Island Biological Company (GIBCO) and lower in cells grown in 10% fetal bovine serum obtained from Sterile Systems, Inc. (Hyclone). The addition of 0.3 microM cortisol to all three types of sera resulted in cells that had similar levels of DAP-I activity (maximum of 800-900 nmol of beta-naphthylamine released from glycyl-L-phenylanine-beta-naphthylamine per hour per milligram of cellular protein). The addition of cortisol to Hyclone fetal bovine serum increased the DAP-I levels by up to threefold with a half-maximal response occurring at 30 nM cortisol. Triiodothyronine also could increase DAP-I levels, but only between 1.5- and 2.0-fold. Testosterone propionate increased DAP-I levels by 1.4-fold. These changes in growth media and hormones had little effect on other lysosomal enzymes or the growth characteristics of the cells.
