    Notes: Abstract In searching for a reliable index for cytotoxicity testing in rat hepatocyte primary culture, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations in lysates of attached hepatocytes and LDH released into the culture medium were compared under conditions of exposure to various dosages of sodium chloride, sodium salicylate, R-warfarin, acetaminophen, phenylbutazone, and furosemide (frusemide). The amount of intracellular LDH was assessed by inducing the cells to release the enzyme with 0.1% Tritron X-100. The induced LDH leakage was completed in 1 hr and the LDH activity was stable in storage at 10° for 2 weeks. We found that intracellular LDH is a direct indicator of the number of viable hepatocytes in contrast to the LDH released, because released LDH does not account for the significant number of cells detached from monolayer but which are not leaky, during the 6-hr test period. Based on IC50 values (50% inhibitory concentration), the relative cytotoxicities are R-warfarin 〉 phenylbutazone 〉 furosemide 〉 acetaminophen 〉 sodium salicylate 〉 sodium chloride.

    Notes: Hormones and growth factors are generally released from larger precursors by limited proteolysis. The causative agents remain poorly defined with respect to location and properties. One subset of proteases, the glandular kallikreins, have been implicated in a few cases, in part because of their specific association with mature forms of some hormones. However, limited distribution and low copy number in some species cast doubt on this hypothesis, and they may well play other physiological functions that remain to be elucidated.

    Notes: Guinea pig prostate contains one major soluble esteropeptidase activity. The protein has been purified and characterized and found to be a glycoprotein comprised of a single polypeptide chain. The molecular weight of the deglycosylated protein is approximately 26,000. The esteropeptidase has a similar Km for lysine and arginine synthetic substrates, although the Vmax for arginine is much greater than that for lysine. Amino-terminal sequence analysis has also revealed a marked degree of homology to mouse γ-nerve growth factor (NGF) and the kallikrein family of serine proteases. In contrast to γ-NGF, however, the guinea pig enzyme does not appear to form stable complexes with β-NGF.
