18997433 Nishimoto S, Goto Y, Morishige H, Shiraishi R, Doi M, Akiyama K, Yamauchi S, Sugahara T: Mode of action of the immunostimulatory effect of collagen from jellyfish. Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2008 Nov;72(11):2806-14. Epub 2008 Nov 7.

The expression levels of immunoglobulin mRNAs in HB4C5 cells, and those of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interferon (IFN)-gamma, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in hPBL were up-regulated by jellyfish collagen.
This collagen also enhanced IgM production by translation-suppressed HB4C5 cells that had been treated with sodium fluoride, but was ineffective in accelerating IgM production by HB4C5 cells treated with cycloheximide.

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

The pathway of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced suppression in tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL)-mediated apoptosis of fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) was investigated. rTRAIL triggered FLS apoptosis in a type II cell death manner, whereas IFN-gamma pretreatment significantly inhibited TRAIL-mediated apoptosis.
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.

HK-Mtb-induced SLPI mRNA expression was sensitive neither to a protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, nor to an actin polymerization blocker, cytochalasin D.
Treatment of macrophages with interferon (IFN)-gamma inhibited HK-Mtb-induced SLPI expression.

IFNgamma-mediated decrease of surface TACE in NB4 cells was reversible, and correlated with an increase in intracellular TACE, suggesting that cell surface TACE was internalized in response to IFNs.

UVB exposure significantly increased the release of interleukin (IL)-8 and modestly increased IL-1alpha production, but cytokines such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interferon (IFN)-gamma were unaffected.
Cycloheximide reduced the UVB-mediated induction of IL-8 by 30-40%, suggesting that new protein synthesis contributed to IL-8 production.

Int J Mol Med. 2005 May;15(5):833-9.

The pathway of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma-induced suppression in tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-mediated endothelial cell apoptosis was investigated. rTRAIL triggered apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a type II cell death manner.

Pb did not enhance protein degradation of IFNgamma, in that lactacystin, an effective blocker of proteosomal proteolysis, did not prevent loss of IFNgamma; additionally, Pb did not accelerate loss of IFNgamma after cycloheximide treatment.

The delayed up-regulation of CD13/APN (observed after 72 and/or 96 hrs), required de novo protein synthesis as it could be abrogated by cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis.

17308068 Bachmann M, Dragoi C, Poleganov MA, Pfeilschifter J, Muhl H: Interleukin-18 directly activates T-bet expression and function via p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-kappaB in acute myeloid leukemia-derived predendritic KG-1 cells. Mol Cancer Ther. 2007 Feb;6(2):723-31.

The T helper type 1 cytokine interleukin (IL)-18 has been shown to induce the maturation of these cells towards a dendritic phenotype and, moreover, is able to mediate IFNgamma production in this model.
Blockage of translation by cycloheximide, usage of neutralizing antibodies, and the inability of IFNgamma to mediate significant p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in KG-1 cells clearly revealed that activation of T-bet was not via autocrine IFNgamma.

Shock. 2007 Mar;27(3):226-31.

Using the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and measuring the expression of CD35 in neutrophils stimulated with IFN-gamma and LPS alone or in combination, we could demonstrate that IFN-gamma enhances TLR4 by de novo protein synthesis, whereas the addition of LPS acts synergistically by enhancing vesicular mobilization to the cell surface.

Actinomycin D did not alter the kinetics of vasohibin mRNA induction upon VEGF treatment, whereas cycloheximide completely abolished its induction.

Here, the effect of depletion of PIN1 on induction of iNOS by Escherichia coli endotoxin (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) in murine aortic endothelial cells (MAEC) was determined.
Consistent with posttranscriptional action, knockdown of PIN1 increased the stability of iNOS protein in cycloheximide-treated cells.

We further analyzed the IFN-gamma effect, showing that pretreatment with IFN-gamma strongly suppressed IL-5-induced eosinophil shape change, and cycloheximide (CHX) abrogated the suppression by IFN-gamma, suggesting that new protein synthesis is required for the inhibitory effect by this cytokine.

In the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, LPS primarily induces caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death of HUVECs, which is blocked by siRNA-mediated knockdown of myeloid differentiation factor 88 adaptor protein but not of Toll-like receptor-associated interferon-inducing factor.
Finally, in the presence of either the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase inhibitor LY294002 or the inflammatory cytokine interferon-gamma, LPS activates both caspase- and Cat B-dependent death pathways.

Cycloheximide (CHX) induced cell death in both cell lines.
