Materials and methodsHuman keratinocytes, isolated from neonatal foreskin, were grown in culture dishes prepared with a feeder layer of irradiated 3T3 cells as previously described [3]. Before the primary culture became confluent, cells were passaged onto irradiated 3T3 cells in 35mm dishes; confluent secondary cultures of 5-7 cell layers were used for experiments. Microscopically, there was no evidence of fibroblasts. Representative keratinocyte cultures were tested for the presence of mycoplasma, and the results were negative. Cells were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (Gibco Laboratories. Grand Island. NY) suoblemented with 20% fetal bovine’serum, hydrdcortisonk: epidermal growth factor, cholera toxin, penicillin and streptomycin. The concentration of thymidine in complete medium contributed by 20% fetal bovine serum was approximately 0.2 PM. Soluble extracts of cultured cells and foreskin were prepared as previously described [3]. Briefly. cultured cells were washed free of medium, were scraped into phosphatebuffered saline containing 5 mM dithiothreitol, and were disrupted by sonication. Foreskins were dissected to remove as much subcutaneous material and dermis as possible. The minced tissue was homogenized in phosphatebuffered saline, 5 mM dithiothreitol with a Polytron homogenizer (Brinkmann Instrument Co., Westbury, NY). The crude extract from cells or tissue was centrifuged (20,000 g 4”, 30 min) to remove particulate material and stored at-70”. The Bradford assay was used to measure the protein concentration [8].Thymidine catabolism was measured in reaction mixtures containing 0.5 to 1Opg of protein from crude extracts in phosphate-buffered saline (9.6 mM phosphate, oH 7.2) containing 5 mM dithiothreitol at 37’: the reactibn was started by addition of [jH] thymidine (20 Ci/mmol, New England Nuclear, Boston, MA) diluted with thymidine to give final concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 100 PM, 4 pCi/
