The aim of the present study was to assess the profiles of the exoglycosidases: N-acetyl-beta-hexosoaminidase, beta glucuronidase and beta galactosidase, alpha mannosidase and a fucosidase in fibroblast culture undergoing replicative and stress-induced senescence. Half of the cell culture was grown in normal conditions, without the stressor, and the other half of the cell was treated with 0.15 mM tert-butylhydroperoxide. The activities of total N-acetyl-beta-hexosoaminidase as well as beta glucuronidase in the cell lysate were determined in duplicates using the method of Marciniak et al. The activities of beta galactosidase, alpha mannosidase and alpha fucosidase in the cell lysate were determined in duplicates using the method of Chatteriee et al. with the modification by Zwierz et al. The activities of the exoglycosidases examined, with the exception of beta glucuronidase, showed a significant increase between individual days of the experiment in both non-stressed and stressed fibroblast cell culture. On each day of the experiment, in the cell lysate of stressed fibroblasts, the activities of exoglycosidases were significantly higher compared to the non-stressed cells. There were very strong correlations between SA-beta-GAL staining and beta galactosidase activity on individual days of the experiment in both non-stressed and stressed fibroblast cell culture. Replicative and stress-induced senescence results in significant changes to the level of lysosomal exoglycosidases, and results in enhanced lysosomal degradative capacity.
