BDNF and ERK expression was also down-regulated in animals injected with this dose of cycloheximide.

However, it was prevented by treatment of cultures with a protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide.

Administration of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide after training blocked the long-term effect.

Preconditioning with K (+) or TEA increased by 2.5-fold the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and by nearly 2-fold the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2.

In a neuronal-glial cell coculture, preexposure to xenon for 2 h caused a concentration-dependent reduction of lactate dehydrogenase release from cells deprived of oxygen and glucose 24 h later; xenon's preconditioning effect was abolished by cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor.
Also, the prosurvival proteins Bcl-2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were upregulated by xenon treatment.

Furthermore, calcineurin activation reciprocally regulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, bdnf, and its receptor trkb, which have also been shown to play a role in neuronal migration.

J Biol Chem. 2005 Jul 8;280(27):25571-9. Epub 2005 May 3.

FGF-1 induced the expression of HO-1 in cultured rat spinal cord astrocytes, which was dependent on FGF receptor activation and prevented by cycloheximide.
Overexpression of Nrf2 in astrocytes increased survival of co-cultured embryonic motor neurons and prevented motor neuron apoptosis mediated by nerve growth factor through p75 neurotrophin receptor.

Injury-induced expression of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in the CNS facilitates neuronal apoptosis and prevents neuronal regrowth, but the mechanisms regulating p75NTR expression are poorly characterized.
