In addition, the translation inhibitor cycloheximide confirmed that bFGF-induced HIF-1alpha protein expression was due to de novo protein synthesis.

Pretreatment of MC3T3-E1 cells with cycloheximide showed that the induction of fgf-2 did not require new protein synthesis.

This upregulation could be abrogated by pretreatment with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, suggesting that the upregulation of syndecan-4 by FGF2 is not a primary response.

Our data point to retinoids and BMPs as being major positive regulators of BAMBI expression; however, fibroblast growth factor 2 acts to repress BAMBI.
Furthermore, retinoic acid is likely to act directly on BAMBI as induction occurs in the presence of cycloheximide.

We have previously reported that prostaglandin F (2alpha) (PGF (2alpha)) and its selective agonist fluprostenol increase basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) mRNA and protein production in osteoblastic Py1a cells.
Pre-treatment with cycloheximide blocks nuclear labelling for FGF-2 in response to PGF (2alpha).

Stimulation of VEGF expression by TGF-beta2 was blocked by cycloheximide, suggesting that de novo protein synthesis is required.
Despite of the weak stimulation of VEGF expression by TNF-alpha or bFGF alone, co-administration of either of these two cytokines synergized the effect of TGF-beta2 on VEGF mRNA expression and protein production.
