“Both the BK- and arachidonic acid-induced IL-8 production was inhibited by the protein synthesis inhibitors cycloheximide and actinomycin D and by the steroid dexamethasone.”
“Cycloheximide and actinomycin D inhibited the stimulation of arachidonic acid release by IL-1, PMA or DiC8.”
“The addition of cycloheximide or actinomycin D 15-45 min after IL-1 also inhibited IL-1 stimulated arachidonic acid release, indicating that continued protein synthesis was required for IL-1 action.”
“A role for transcriptional regulation is suggested by data showing that cycloheximide and actinomycin D inhibited arachidonic acid release induced by zymosan, PMA and, okadaic acid but not by A23187.”

“The comoplete inhibition of IL-1 alpha- and UEC-induced PGE2 secretion by cycloheximide and actinomycin-D in the presence of a saturating concentration of arachidonic acid indicated that IL-1 alpha and UEC act to a large extent by inducing de novo expression of PG endoperoxide synthase (PGHS).”
“Serum-stimulated release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins from [3H]arachidonic acid-labeled cells also was inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide.”
