Endocrinology. 2005 Dec;146(12):5100-11. Epub 2005 Aug 25.

IL-1beta rapidly decreases levels of precursor and mature sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1, changes not altered by cycloheximide, suggesting coordinate regulation of StARD1 and -D5, but not StARD4, expression.

These kinin effects on PGE (2) synthesis were completely abrogated by actinomycin-D and cycloheximide, suggesting de novo synthesis of proteins.
Bradykinin also increased cyclooxygenase-2 protein levels about 2-fold, while the B (1) receptor agonist decreased cyclooxygenase-2 protein expression.

This induction was a transcriptional event that occurred in the absence of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and was the result of enhanced promoter activity, as examined with the use of full-length COX-2 promoter-driven reporter plasmids.

Previous studies have shown that, in renal medullary cells, hypertonic stress induces expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) via NF-kappaB activation, but little is known about COX-2 expression in response to hypertonicity in the cortical collecting duct.
The treatment also increased COX-2 mRNA accumulation in a cycloheximide-independent manner, suggesting that ongoing protein synthesis is not required for COX-2 induction.

The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein expression was assessed in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) stimulated via receptors of the innate immune system.
Treatment with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor (PI3K) wortmaninn, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor rapamycin, and the translation inhibitor cycloheximide blocked the induction of COX-2 protein in response to mannan and PGN, whereas the transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D did not show a significant effect.

TSL-mediated HO-1 protein induction was not inhibited by treatment with actinomycin D, a transcriptional inhibitor, but by cycloheximide, a translational inhibitor.
Consistent with the notion that HO-1 has anti-inflammatory properties, TSL inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and murine peritoneal macrophages.

Bradykinin-evoked SP release from cultured adult rat DRG neurons was attenuated by either the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor (U0126) or cycloheximide.
As the long-term exposure of DRG neurons to bradykinin (3 h) resulted in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation at an early stage and thereafter induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein expression, which both contribute to the SP release triggered by bradykinin B2 receptor.

The EDVECs were incubated for 18 hours with LPS (10 pg/mL to 1 microg/mL) with or without ibuprofen, cycloheximide, or L-nitroarginine methyl ester.
Changes in inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression were determined.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006 Apr 18;103(16):6326-31. Epub 2006 Apr 10.

Transcripts peaked at approximately 60 min, were unaffected by a cysLT1-R antagonist, and were superinduced by cycloheximide.
Strongly induced genes were studied in detail: Early growth response (EGR) and nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A transcription factors; E-selectin; CXC ligand 2; IL-8; a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease (reprolysin type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif 1 (ADAMTS1); Down syndrome critical region gene 1 (DSCR1); tissue factor (TF); and cyclooxygenase 2.

The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CH) was used in this model to test if new protein synthesis was necessary for its cardioprotective effects.
The effector proteins in late preconditioning, including inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2, were evaluated by immunoblotting.

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2005 Dec;97(4):376-83. Epub 2005 Sep 16.

16464966 Balzary RW, Cocks TM: Lipopolysaccharide induces epithelium- and prostaglandin E (2)-dependent relaxation of mouse isolated trachea through activation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2006 May;317(2):806-12. Epub 2006 Feb 7.

Because NF-kappaB induces cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) to increase synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs), including the potent airway anti-inflammatory and smooth muscle relaxant PGE (2), we investigated whether LPS causes short-term PGE (2)-dependent relaxation of mouse isolated trachea.
The LPS antagonist polymixin B; the nonselective COX inhibitor indomethacin; the selective COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole (SC560) and 4-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-benzenesulfonam ide (SC236), respectively; the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D; the translation inhibitor cycloheximide; the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) inhibitor 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-imadazole (SB203580); and a combination of the mixed DP/EP1/EP2 receptor antagonist 6-isopropoxy-9-xanthone-2-carboxylic acid (AH6809) and the EP4 receptor antagonist 4'-[3-butyl-5-oxo-1-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-5-dihydro-[1,2,4] triazol- 4-ylmethyl]-biphenyl-2-sulfonic acid (3-methyl-thiophene-2-carbonyl)-amide (L-161982) all abolished relaxation to LPS, giving instead slowly developing, small contractions over 60 min.

Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2010 Jan 1;2:441-8.


Both cyclooxygenase isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2) were expressed in the two aortic segments, but their expression was not altered by phenylephrine, the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, or the phospholipase A2 inhibitors arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone and methyl arachidonyl fluorophosponate.
