beta-Galactosidase was normalized by a serine-thiol protease inhibitor, leupeptin with concentration of 10 micrograms/ml in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with beta-galactosidase-alpha-neuraminidase deficiency (beta-Gal-/Neu-). The induction of this enzyme was not observed in normal cells. Because the enzymic activity of cathepsin B1 increased significantly both in beta-Gal-/Neu- and normal cells by leupeptin loading, the restoration of beta-galactosidase in beta-Gal-/Neu- cells can not be explained by the theory that leupeptin inhibited intracellular degradation of beta-galactosidase molecules. The effects of leupeptin and sucrose on lysosomal hydrolase induction were compared.
