Caspase activation and 5-LO degradation were blocked by the protein-synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, and cell-permeable peptide inhibitors of casp-6 and casp-8 prevented 5-LO cleavage.

EV70-induced apoptosis was inhibited by cycloheximide and methoxysuccinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-chloromethylketone (MPCMK), but not actinomycin D and guanidine.HCl (although guanidine.HCl inhibited the apoptosis induced by EV70 infection at 0.5 PFU/cell for 18 h).
EV70 infection induced activation of caspase-3 and -7 and degradation of the constitutively activated caspase-6.

Finally, the protein synthesis inhibitors Stx1 and anisomycin triggered limited apoptosis and prolonged JNK and p38 MAPK activation, while macrophage-like cells treated with cycloheximide remained viable and showed transient activation of MAPKs.
Specific caspase inhibitors revealed that caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-8, and caspase-9 were primarily involved in apoptosis induction.

Stimulation of transformed bovine brain endothelial cells (TBBEC) with LPS leads to apoptosis while human microvessel endothelial cells (HMEC) need the presence of cycloheximide (CHX) with LPS to induce apoptosis.
LPS-induced apoptosis in TBBEC was hallmarked by the activation of caspase 3, caspase 6, and caspase 8 after the stimulation of LPS, followed by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and lactate dehydrogenase release.
