The export of glutathione from cultured human diploid fibroblasts into the surrounding medium was found by isotopic labeling experiments using [35S]cystine and by enzymatic measurements. The major part of the glutathione exported from the cells was found in normal culture medium as mixed disulfide of glutathione and cysteine. Radioactivity of 35S, mostly derived from cellular glutathione, was mainly located in glutathione moiety, not in cysteine moiety, of the mixed disulfide. Export of free glutathione was found when cystine-free medium was used. It was, therefore, concluded that mixed disulfide of glutathione and cysteine was formed in the medium by exported glutathione and medium cystine via sulfhydryl-disulfide exchange reaction. Amount of total glutathione exported from the cells was measured by enzymatic method and it was found that more than 10% of normal cellular glutathione was exported within 2 h. Apparent concentration of glutathione in the medium after a day of culture reached 3 to 4 micrometer, which was comparable to that observed in normal plasma by the same enzymatic method.
