Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), an adrenal steroid of no known biological function, is a potent inhibitor of mammalian glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). DHEA inhibited the growth of two strains of HeLa and WI-38 cells in culture. One of the HeLa strains, TCRC-2, was about 10.times. as sensitive to growth inhibition as the two other cell lines. The G6PDH activity in cell extracts of HeLa TCRC-2 was also much more sensitive to DHEA inhibition than the G6PDH activities of the other cell lines. The addition of a combination of four deoxyribonucleosides and four ribonucleosides to the culture medium overcame the DHEA-induced growth inhibition in the HeLa TCRC-2 line.
