Morphological differentiation of neuroblastoma cells (NB15) was induced by cAMP effectors in the presence and absence of serine protease inhibitors. In all conditions tested, the percent differentiation was inhibited by protease inhibitors antipain, diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), leupeptin, and soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI). The level of morphological differentiation obtained in medium containing fetal calf serum was significantly less than the percent differentiation obtained with serum-free medium alone, so serum-free medium was the principal method of induction and comparisons were made to control uninduced cultures or cultures induced with the
phosphodiesterase
inhibitor R020-1724. Secreted or cell surface
caseinolytic protease
activity was higher in differentiating cells than in control cultures and was inhibited by the serine protease inhibitors. The effects of the protease inhibitors on growth and differentiation are discussed.
