Decreasing either guanylyltransferase or methyltransferase resulted in caspase-3 activation and elevated terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining characteristic of apoptosis.
Both Bim and Mcl-1 levels decreased in cycloheximide-induced apoptosis while Bik levels were unchanged, suggesting that apoptosis in siRNA-treated cells is not a direct consequence of loss of mRNA translation. siRNA-treated BAK (-/-) BAX (-/-) double-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts failed to activate capase-3 or increase TUNEL staining but instead exhibited autophagy, as demonstrated by proteolytic processing of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and translocation of transfected green fluorescent protein-LC3 from the nucleus to punctate cytoplasmic structures.

We demonstrated that epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation of fibroblast NR6WT expressing human EGF receptors blocks staurosporine-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of caspase-3.
Interestingly, EGF prevention of apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the face of cycloheximide blockade of protein translation occurs via a different set of pathways as the simultaneous inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, Rac, and PI3K signaling did not eliminate EGF from rescuing fibroblasts in the face of this cytokine.

Neither an inhibitor for nuclear transcription (actinomycin D) nor an inhibitor of new protein synthesis (cycloheximide) blocked this rapid activation, and specific binding of aldosterone to plasma membrane fraction was inhibited by eplerenone, suggesting a nongenomic mechanism.
Nuclear staining with DAPI showed that aldosterone (10 (-7) mol/L) increased the myocyte apoptosis (2.3 fold, p <0.001), coincident with the activation of caspase-3 (1.4 fold, p <0.05), compared with the serum-deprived control after 48 h.

Treatment with Al-malt resulted in caspase 3 activation and the externalization of phosphatidyl serine, both indicative of apoptosis.
Interestingly, pretreatment with cycloheximide (CHX), a potent protein synthesis inhibitor markedly reduced Al-malt-induced apoptosis, indicating that altered gene expression was critical for this form of cell death.

In the presence of cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, the rates of cell death and MnSOD degradation were accelerated.
Moreover, two possible cleavage sites of recombinant hMnSOD by direct interaction with recombinant caspase-3 were noted.

J Lab Clin Med. 2006 Apr;147(4):182-90.


Janus kinase (JAK)-induced phosphorylation of STAT1/3/6, which acts at translational regulation, seemed to be crucial because chemical inhibition of JAK as well as cycloheximide (CHX) abolished both the phosphorylation of STAT1/3/6 and the IFN-gamma-induced inhibitory effect.
