[Glucocorticoids have been implicated experimentally in the production of high incidences of clefts of the secondary palate in fetuses from steroid-sensitive mouse strains.] The lysosomal enzymes, nonspecific esterases, .beta.-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-.beta.-glucosaminidase and arylsulfatases A and B, were examined histochemically in medial-edge epithelia (MEE) of single palatal shelves in vitro. Activities of most enzymes increased gradually in MEE with a peak at 24-26 h of culture. Arylsulfatase B activities were lower than the others and arylsulfatase A activities could not be detected in the palatal cells during the entire culture period. By 48 h, MEE cells degenerated and were lost. Cortisol suppressed increased activities of these hydrolytic enzymes and prevented programmed breakdown of the palatal epithelium.
