title: [Effect of hydrocortisone on alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity in KOX-1 and mouse glioblastoma EPNT-5 cells].
abstract: A comparative cytochemical investigation for alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPhD) activity in transplanted cellular line of mouse glioblastoma (EPNT-5) and KOX-1 was performed under normal conditions and under hydrocortisone effect. In glioblastoma EPNT-5 cells a high alpha-GPhD activity was revealed. The enzymatic activity was found to correspond to the dynamics of cell multiplication. Under the effect of hydrocortisone, alpha-GPhD activity demonstrated a two-fold increase, while alpha-GPhD activity in KOX-1 cells was very low, and hydrocortisone did not induce its increase. The data obtained supported the view on the glial nature of the transplanted ćpHT-5 line and demonstrated that the glial elements preserved their specific peculiarities at a prolonged cultivation.
