19439449 Zhang Y, Xing D, Liu L: PUMA promotes Bax translocation by both directly interacting with Bax and by competitive binding to Bcl-X L during UV-induced apoptosis. Mol Biol Cell. 2009 Jul;20(13):3077-87. Epub 2009 May 13.

In addition, pifithrin-alpha (a p53 inhibitor) and cycloheximide (a protein synthesis inhibitor) could inhibit PUMA-mediated Bax translocation and cell apoptosis.

Consistently, inhibition of translation by cycloheximide could also effectively abolish the accumulation of p53 and PUMA and suppress MG132-induced Bax activation and apoptosis.

Inclusion of cycloheximide inhibits the release of cytochrome C, the activation of caspase 9 and apoptosis.

Then using CHX (cycloheximide) to prevent new protein expression in response to p53, we also find that Bax translocation and cell death by UV irradiation are delayed.
Finally, we observe that Pifithrin-alpha and CHX effectively inhibit PUMA expression by UV irradiation.

Treatment with IP6 also leads to increased protein levels of PUMA, BIK/NBK and NOXA between 4 and 8 h of treatment and decreased levels of MCL-1 and BCL-2 after 24 h.
Although blocking transcription using actinomycin D does not modulate PC3 cell sensitivity to IP6, inhibition of protein translation using cycloheximide has a significant protective effect.
