Logarithmically growing human embryonic diploid cells started to die in cystine-free medium within 18 h. Glutathione accounted for almost all the acid-soluble sulfhydryl compound of the cells and cellular glutathione level decreased rapidly after cystine depletion. By adding vitamin E the cells survived over 6 days in cystine-free medium, though glutathione content of the cells was reduced to less than 1% of the normal level. Synthetic antioxidants had a similar effect, and a mechanism by which cells die in cystine-free medium was suggested.
