19439213 Chen X, Choi IY, Chang TS, Noh YH, Shin CY, Wu CF, Ko KH, Kim WK: Pretreatment with interferon-gamma protects microglia from oxidative stress via up-regulation of Mn-SOD. Free Radic Biol Med. 2009 Apr 15;46(8):1204-10. Epub 2009 Feb 9.

The cytoprotective effect of IFN-gamma pretreatment was abolished by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide.
Among various antioxidant enzymes such as manganese or copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD or Cu/Zn-SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), only Mn-SOD was up-regulated in IFN-gamma-pretreated microglial cells.

Using inhibitors of mRNA (actinomycin D) and protein (cycloheximide) synthesis, the strain deficient in Yap1p, a master regulator coordinating yeast adaptive response to oxidative stress, we have found that these enzymes are up-regulated via synthesis of new molecules at transcription and translation levels.

The rate of aminotriazole-inhibited catalase activity also was increased when SOD2 is overexpressed and reflects a 1.6-fold increase in the steady-state production of H (2) O (2).

Endogenous antioxidant enzymes activities (SOD, GSH-PX and catalase) in hippocampal slices were evaluated during the course of incubation.
MK886 (5 microM; a noncompetitive inhibitor of proliferator-activated receptor [PPAR] alpha), BADGE (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether; 100 microM; an antagonist of PPARgamma) and cycloheximide (CHX; 30 microM; an inhibitor of protein synthesis) were tested for their effects on the neuroprotection afforded by arachidonic acid.

Induction of ADAM9 protein in LNCaP or C4-2 cells can be completely abrogated by the administration of an antioxidant, ebselen, or genetic transfer of a hydrogen peroxide degradative enzyme, catalase, suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a common mediator.
The induction of ADAM9 by stress can be inhibited by both actinomycin D and cycloheximide through increased gene transcription and protein synthesis.

In the absence of H (2) O (2), BE induces ERKs protein phosphorylation, and HO-1 protein expression induced by BE was blocked by the addition of cycloheximide, actinomycin D, and the ERK inhibitor PD98059.
Catalase addition prevented H (2) O (2)-induced ROS production, ERKs protein phosphorylation, and cell death, and BE dose-dependently inhibited H (2) O (2)-induced ERK protein phosphorylation in C6 cells.

In the presence of cycloheximide, all the enzymes returned to the levels of untreated controls while chloramphenicol did not have any effect on the test enzymes, thereby suggesting de novo protein synthesis of the test antioxidant enzymes in the cytosolic compartment of the cell as a result of exposure to the heavy metals.
The utility of antioxidant enzymes, viz glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), as biomarkers of heavy metal pollution in water was investigated using the Allium cepa (onion) system.

Furthermore, EGCG-mediated HO-1 induction was abrogated in the presence of actinomycin D and cycloheximide, indicating that this upregulation of HO-1 occurred at the transcriptional level.
The inhibition of intracellular ROS production by N-acetylcysteine (NAC), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, rotenone, results in a decrease in EGCG-dependent HO-1 expression.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in brain ischemic tolerance induced by ischemic preconditioning.
Our attempt to understand the mechanisms of increased SOD and CAT activities by application of protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide showed that this increase was caused by de novo synthesis of enzymes during first hours after ischemia.

The TNF-alpha response was inhibited by superoxide dismutase and catalase suggesting apoptosis is oxidative stress related.
In CMVEC from mice and newborn pigs, 15 ng/ml TNF-alpha alone, or with 10 microg/ml cycloheximide (CHX) caused apoptosis detected by nuclear translocation of p65 NF-kappaB, caspase-3 activation, DNA fragmentation, cell-cell contact destabilization, and cell detachment.

Our results show that 2.0 mM vanadium pentoxide in culture medium induced a significant increase of malonaldehyde level and Glutathione peroxidase activity, a slightly increase of Catalase A activity as well as a decrease of wet weight and mitochondrial NADH cit c reductase of S. cerevisiae UE-ME (3).
Also our results show that cycloheximide prevent cell death when cells grows 30 min in presence of 1.5 mM of vanadium pentoxide.

Cell responses against both superoxide and peroxide stresses include enhanced expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, however, the extent was different: treatment with PQ increased mainly SOD, whereas exogenous H2O2 led to enhanced catalase.
The activation of antioxidant enzyme defence was blocked by the translation inhibitor, cycloheximide, suggesting that there was de novo enzyme synthesis.

However, the results obtained with cycloheximide used for inhibiting protein synthesis and with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), which inhibits GSH synthesis, revealed that protein synthesis is not a prerequisite to the development of resistance.

The HeLa cervical cancer cells expressing a dominant negative mutant (DN) of a cytosolic 2-cysPrx manifested remarkable increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species level, which was counteracted by catalase administration, and apoptotic cell death induced by combined treatment of TNF-alpha and cycloheximide compared to the control (CT) cells.
