[PMID: 38071388 PMCID: PMC10710449 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49437-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has many physiological and pathological roles in the human body. Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) is widely used as a pharmacological tool for assessing H2S effects in biological experiments. Although H2S loss from NaHS solution is a matter of minutes, some animal studies use NaHS in solution as an H2S-donating compound in drinking water. This study addresses whether 30 μM NaHS in drinking water prepared in rat/mouse water bottles remains stable for at least 12-24 h, as presumed by some authors. NaHS solutions (30 μM) were prepared in drinking water and immediately transferred to rat/mice water bottles. Samples were obtained from the tip of water bottles and from inside of the bottles at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, and 24 h for sulfide measurement using the methylene blue method. Furthermore, NaHS (30 μM) was administered to male and female rats for two weeks, and serum sulfide concentrations were measured every other day in the first week and at the end of the second week. NaHS solution was unstable in the samples obtained from the tip of water bottles; it declined by 72% and 75% after 12 and 24 h, respectively. In the samples obtained from the inside of the water bottles, the decline in the NaHS was not significant until 2 h; however, it decreased by 47% and 72% after 12 and 24 h, respectively. NaHS administration did not affect serum sulfide levels in male and female rats. In conclusion, NaHS solution prepared in drinking water can not be used for H2S donation as the solution is unstable. This route of administration exposes animals to variable and lower-than-expected amounts of NaHS.

MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2023; 1870:119568.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the third gas signaling molecule that has been shown to be involved in the regulating vital activities in the body, including inhibition of aging. However, it is unknown whether H2S alleviates aging in the kidney and glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) by modulating their mitophagy. Here, results of experiments in vivo and in vitro showed that compared with control group, the renal function of mice and GMCs viability were decreased in D-gal (D-galactose) group, while the activity of SA-β-gal and p21 expression were increased, Cyclin D1 and Klotho expressions were decreased; H2S content and CSE expression were lower; ROS and MDA contents and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening were risedose; ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) were reduced; Apoptotic rate, the expression of Cleaved caspase-9 and -3, Cyt c, p62 and Drp1 were enhanced and the expression of Bcl-2, Mfn2, Beclin-1, LC3 II/I, PINK1 and parkin were decreased. In addition, phospho-AMPK/AMPK and phospho-ULK1/ULK1 were also decreased significantly. Compared with the D-gal group, the changes of above indexes were reversed in the D-gal + NaHS (Sodium hydrosulfide, an exogenous H2S donor) group. The reverse effects of NaHS were similar to that of AICAR (an AMPK agonist) and kinetin (a PINK1 agonist), respectively. Taken together, these results suggest that exogenous H2S increases mitophagy and inhibits apoptosis as well as oxidative stress through up-regulation of AMPK-ULK1-PINK1-parkin pathway, which delays kidney senescence in mice.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter known to regulate physiological and pathological processes. Abnormal H2S levels have been associated with a range of conditions, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, cardiovascular and renal diseases, bacterial and viral infections, as well as cancer. Therefore, fast and sensitive H2S detection is of significant clinical importance. Fluorescent H2S probes hold great potential among the currently developed detection methods because of their high sensitivity, selectivity, and biocompatibility. However, many proposed probes do not provide a gold standard for proper use and selection. Consequently, issues arise when applying the probes in different conditions. Therefore, we systematically evaluated four commercially available probes (WSP‐1, WSP‐5, CAY, and P3), considering their detection range, sensitivity, selectivity, and performance in different environments. Furthermore, their capacity for endogenous H2S imaging in live cells was demonstrated.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous signaling molecule involved in a plethora of physiological and pathological processes. It is primarily synthesized by cystathionine-β-synthase, cystathionine-γ-lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase as a metabolite of the transsulfuration pathway. H2S has been shown to exert beneficial roles in lung disease acting as an anti-inflammatory and antiviral and to ameliorate cell metabolism and protect from oxidative stress. H2S interacts with transcription factors, ion channels, and a multitude of proteins via post-translational modifications through S-persulfidation ("sulfhydration"). Perturbation of endogenous H2S synthesis and/or levels have been implicated in the development of accelerated lung aging and diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and fibrosis. Furthermore, evidence indicates that persulfidation is decreased with aging. Here, we review the use of H2S as a biomarker of lung pathologies and discuss the potential of using H2S-generating molecules and synthesis inhibitors to treat respiratory diseases. Furthermore, we provide a critical appraisal of methods of detection used to quantify H2S concentration in biological samples and discuss the challenges of characterizing physiological and pathological levels. Considerations and caveats of using H2S delivery molecules, the choice of generating molecules, and concentrations are also reviewed. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 35, 551-579.

Abstract
The physiological effects of the endogenously generated hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been extensively studied in recent years. This review summarized the role of H2S in the origin of life and H2S metabolism in organisms from bacteria to vertebrates, examined the relationship between H2S and oxygen from an evolutionary perspective and emphasized the oxygen-dependent manner of H2S signaling in various physiological and pathological processes. H2S and oxygen are inextricably linked in various cellular functions. H2S is involved in aerobic respiration and stimulates oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production within the cell. Besides, H2S has protective effects on ischemia and reperfusion injury in several organs by acting as an oxygen sensor. Also, emerging evidence suggests the role of H2S is in an oxygen-dependent manner. All these findings indicate the subtle relationship between H2S and oxygen and further explain why H2S, a toxic molecule thriving in an anoxia environment several billion years ago, still affects homeostasis today despite the very low content in the body.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are gaseous signaling molecules (gasotransmitters) that regulate both physiological and pathological processes and offer therapeutic potential for the treatment of many diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, bacterial and viral infections. However, the inherent labile nature of therapeutic gases results in difficulties in direct gases administration and their controlled delivery at clinically relevant ranges. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with highly porous, stable, and easy-to-tailor properties have shown promising therapeutic gas delivery potential. Herein, we highlight the recent advances of MOF-based platforms for therapeutic gas delivery, either by endogenous (i.e., direct transfer of gases to targets) or exogenous (i.e., stimulating triggered release of gases) means. Reports that involve in vitro and/or in vivo studies are highlighted due to their high potential for clinical translation. Current challenges for clinical requirements and possible future innovative designs to meet variable healthcare needs are discussed.

Abstract
It is of great significance for biological research to develop efficient detection methods of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). When DFAN reacts with H2S, 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether group acting as an electron acceptor generates a hydroxyl-substituted 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether group, resulting in the disappearance of photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and the new formed DFAH can be observed, while being accompanied by a significant fluorescence. In the present study, the PET sensing mechanism of probe DFAN and the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process of DFAH have been explored in detail based on the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. Our theoretical results show that the fluorescence quenching of DFAN is caused by the PET mechanism, and the result of ESIPT mechanism is not due to the large Stokes shift fluorescence emission of DFAH. We also optimized the geometric structure of the transition state of DFAH. The frontier molecular orbitals and potential barrier show that the ESIPT process does not easy occur easily for DFAH. The enol structure of DFAH is more stable than that of the keto structure. The absence of the PET process resulted in the enol structure emitting strong fluorescence, which is consistent with the single fluorescence in the experiment. Above all, our calculations are sufficient to verify the sensing mechanism of H2S using DFAN. Our theoretical results show that the fluorescence quenching of DFAN is caused by PET mechanism and the large Stokes shift fluorescence emission of DFAH is not due to the ESIPT mechanism. Due to the absence of PET process, enol structure emits strong fluorescence, which is inconsistent with the fluorescence mechanism in the experiment.![]()

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is currently considered among the endogenously produced gaseous molecules that exert various signaling effects in mammalian species. It is the third physiological gasotransmitter discovered so far after NO and CO. H2S was originally ranked among the toxic gases at elevated levels to humans. Currently, it is well-known that, in the cardiovascular system, H2S exerts several cardioprotective effects including vasodilation, antioxidant regulation, inhibition of inflammation, and activation of anti-apoptosis. With an increasing interest in monitoring H2S, the development of analysis methods should now follow. AIM OF REVIEW This review stages special emphasis on the several analytical technologies used for its determination including spectroscopic, chromatographic, and electrochemical methods. Advantages and limitations with regards to the application of each technique are highlighted with special emphasis on its employment for H2S in vivo measurement i.e., biofluids, tissues. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS AND IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF REVIEW Fluorescence methods applied for H2S measurement offer an attractive non-invasive and promising approach in addition to its selectivity, however they cannot be considered as H2S-specific probes. On the other hand, colorimetric assays are among the most common methods used for in vitro H2S detection, albeit their employment in vivo H2S measurement has not yet been possible . Separation techniques such as gas or liquid chromatography offer higher selectivity compared to direct spectrophotometric or fluorescence methods especially for suitable for endpoint H2S measurements i.e. plasma or tissue samples. Despite all the developed analytical procedures used for H2S determination, the need for highly selective, much work should be devoted to resolve all the pitfalls of the current methods.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and it is a leading cause of disability in the elderly. Its complete etiology is not known although there are several metabolic, genetic, epigenetic, and local contributing factors involved. At the moment, there is no cure for this pathology and treatment alternatives to retard or stop its progression are intensively being sought. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a small gaseous molecule and is present in sulfurous mineral waters as its active component. Data from recent clinical trials shows that balneotherapy (immersion in mineral and/or thermal waters from natural springs) in sulfurous waters can improve OA symptoms, in particular, pain and function. Yet, the underlying mechanisms are poorly known. Hydrogen sulfide is also considered, with NO and CO, an endogenous signaling gasotransmitter. It is synthesized endogenously with the help of three enzymes, cystathionine gamma-lyase (CTH), cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MPST). Here, the expression of these three enzymes was demonstrated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and their protein abundance [by immunohistochemistry and Western blot (WB)] in human articular cartilage. No significant differences were found in CBS or CTH expression or abundance, but mRNA and protein levels of 3-MPST were significantly reduced in cartilage form OA donors. Also, the biosynthesis of H2S from OA cartilage, measured with a specific microelectrode, was significantly lower than in OA-free tissue. Yet, no differences were found in H2S concentration in serum from OA patients and OA-free donors. The current results suggest that reduced levels of the mitochondrial enzyme 3-MPST in OA cartilage might be, at least in part, responsible for a reduction in H2S biosynthesis in this tissue and that impaired H2S biosynthesis in the joint might be a contributing factor to OA. This could contribute to explain why exogenous supplementation of H2S, for instance with sulfurous thermal water, has positive effects in OA patients.

J Adv Res 2019; 27:1-10. [PMID: 33318861 PMCID: PMC7728603 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2019.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2019] [Revised: 11/11/2019] [Accepted: 11/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
A comparative sample preparation methodology for fluorometric determination of H2S in plasma. Sample treatment protocol is critical to reliable results for determination of gasotransmitter. Portable H2S Analyser was designed, manufactured and verified as POCT for the gas in the ambulance. Validation in human plasma proved efficiency of H2S Analyser in determining H2S in MI patients. H2S is elevated in MI patients compared to normal controls up to 10 h from emergence of symptoms.
Introduction: Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is one of the gasotransmitters that was reported to have a cardioprotective effect at its physiological levels in blood. Previous determinations of H2S levels in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients suffered from diversity of analytical methods, different targeted chemical forms of the gas, and multitude of matrices assessed. Objectives: In this study, a comparative biological sample preparation study is detailed for optimum selective determination of the unionized form of H2S in blood of CVD patients using a new in-house POCT portable spectrofluorometer together with a Reagent-Analyser system. Methods: Dansyl azide was synthesized to react with hydrogen sulfide in biological matrix to produce the fluorescent dansyl amide. Fluorescence was measured at λex 340 nm and λem 517 nm in the new in-house POCT portable spectrofluorometer. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines. Several blood sample treatments and reaction protocols were compared to achieve maximum fluorescence yield. Results: The H2S Analyser was verified in comparison to a benchtop spectrofluorometer where linearity was confirmed in the range of 3–300 μM, LOD being 1 μM, at λex 340 nm and λem 517 nm. Sample treatment involving blood centrifugation followed by addition of reagent on plasma produced maximum fluorescence yield. Analysis of blood samples of myocardial infarction (MI) patients and controls showed elevated levels of H2S in MI patients (28 μM ± 1.111) vs. controls (23 μM ± 1.036) at p = 0.0015. Conclusion: The study is novel in being a POCT approach for selective determination of H2S molecular form in plasma after simple optimized sample treatment. The study confirms that MI is associated with H2S elevated levels up to 10 hours from emergence of symptoms.

Colorimetric Detection of Sulfide Anions via Redox-Modulated Surface Chemistry and Morphology of Au-Hg Nanorods. Int J Anal Chem 2019; 2019:8961837.

Abstract
A new colorimetric assay for the detection of sulfide anions with high sensitivity and selectivity is reported, utilizing Au-Hg alloy nanorods (Au-HgNRs) as probe. Au-HgNRs were prepared by modifying gold nanorods (AuNRs) with reducing agent and mercury ions. In an aqueous solution with sulfide anions, the formation of mercuric sulfide due to redox reaction between the amalgams and sulfide anions greatly changed the surface chemistry and morphology of the Au-HgNRs, leading to a red shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption peak, accompanied by a change in colorimetric response. A good linear relationship was obtained between the LSPR peak wavelength shift and concentration of sulfide anion in the range of 1 × 10−5−1 × 10−4 mol/L. The selectivity of this method has been investigated by other anions. The colorimetric sensing system successfully detected sulfide in wastewater from leather industry.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a lethal disease that is characterized by auto-immunity, vascular injury, and progressive fibrosis of multiple organ systems. Despite the fact that the exact etiology of SSc remains unknown, oxidative stress has been associated with a large range of SSc-related complications. In addition to the well-known detrimental properties of reactive oxygen species (ROS), gasotransmitters (e.g., nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)) are also thought to play an important role in SSc. Accordingly, the diverse physiologic actions of NO and CO and their role in SSc have been previously studied. Recently, multiple studies have also shown the importance of the third gasotransmitter H₂S in both vascular physiology and pathophysiology. Interestingly, homocysteine (which is converted into H₂S through the transsulfuration pathway) is often found to be elevated in SSc patients; suggesting defects in the transsulfuration pathway. Hydrogen sulfide, which is known to have several effects, including a strong antioxidant and vasodilator effect, could potentially play a prominent role in the initiation and progression of vasculopathy. A better understanding of the actions of gasotransmitters, like H₂S, in the development of SSc-related vasculopathy, could help to create early interventions to attenuate the disease course. This paper will review the role of H₂S in vascular (patho-)physiology and potential disturbances in SSc. Moreover, current data from experimental animal studies will be reviewed. Lastly, we will evaluate potential interventional strategies.

Abstract
A unique method has been developed for comparative analysis of H2S produced from food samples from our daily diet, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The selective detection of H2S has been executed by introducing a simple chemodosimeter (PN-N 3 ) that gives response on the basis of intramolecular charge transfer. UV-vis, fluorimetric, and NMR titrations were performed to demonstrate the sensing mechanism and electronic environment of PN-N 3 in the presence of H2S. Density functional theory calculations were performed to validate the mechanism of azide (PN-N 3 ) reduction to amine (PN-NH 2 ) by the strong reducing power of H2S. The potentiality of this chemosensing method is that it could be treated as a simple, less-time-consuming, and cost-effective method for determining H2S in biological samples in the nanomolar range.

Sulfide Protects Staphylococcus aureus from Aminoglycoside Antibiotics but Cannot Be Regarded as a General Defense Mechanism against Antibiotics. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2018; 62:AAC.00602-18.

Abstract
Sulfide production has been proposed to be a universal defense mechanism against antibiotics in bacteria (K. Shatalin, E. Shatalina, A. Mironov, and E. Nudler, Science 334:986-990, 2011, doi:10.1126/science.1209855). To gain insight into the mechanism underlying sulfide protection, we systematically and comparatively addressed the interference of sulfide with antibiotic activity against Staphylococcus aureus, as a model organism. The impact of sulfide and sulfide precursors on the antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus to the most important classes of antibiotics was analyzed using modified disk diffusion assays, killing kinetic assays, and drug uptake studies. In addition, sulfide production and the impact of exogenously added sulfide on the physiology of S. aureus were analyzed. Sulfide protection was found to be limited to aminoglycoside antibiotics, which are known to be taken up by bacterial cells in an energy-dependent process. The protective mechanism was found to rely on an inhibitory effect of sulfide on the bacterial respiratory chain, leading to reduced drug uptake. S. aureus was found to be incapable of producing substantial amounts of sulfide. We propose that bacterial sulfide production should not be regarded as a general defense mechanism against antibiotics, since (i) it is limited to aminoglycosides and (ii) production levels vary considerably among species and, as for S. aureus, may be too low for protection.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) are now recognized as important regulators in the cardiovascular system, although they were historically considered as toxic gases. As gaseous transmitters, H2S and NO share a wide range of physical properties and physiological functions: they penetrate into the membrane freely; they are endogenously produced by special enzymes, they stimulate endothelial cell angiogenesis, they regulate vascular tone, they protect against heart injury, and they regulate target protein activity via posttranslational modification. Growing evidence has determined that these two gases are not independent regulators but have substantial overlapping pathophysiological functions and signaling transduction pathways. H2S and NO not only affect each other's biosynthesis but also produce novel species through chemical interaction. They play a regulatory role in the cardiovascular system involving similar signaling mechanisms or molecular targets. However, the natural precise mechanism of the interactions between H2S and NO remains unclear. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of individual and interactive regulatory functions of H2S and NO in biosynthesis, angiogenesis, vascular one, cardioprotection, and posttranslational modification, indicating the importance of their cross-talk in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The recognition of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been evolved from a toxic gas to a physiological mediator, exhibiting properties similar to NO and CO. On the one hand, H2S is produced from L-cysteine by enzymes of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST) in combination with aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) (also called as cysteine aminotransferase, CAT); on the other hand, H2S is produced from D-cysteine by enzymes of D-amino acid oxidase (DAO). Besides sulfide salt, several sulfide-releasing compounds have been synthesized, including organosulfur compounds, Lawesson's reagent and analogs, and plant-derived natural products. Based on garlic extractions, we synthesized S-propargyl-L-cysteine (SPRC) and its analogs to contribute our endeavors on drug development of sulfide-containing compounds. A multitude of evidences has presented H2S is widely involved in the roles of physiological and pathological process, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, angiogenesis, and myocardial infarcts. This review summarizes current sulfide compounds, available H2S measurements, and potential molecular mechanisms involved in cardioprotections to help researchers develop further applications and therapeutically drugs.

Sulphate-reducing bacteria from ulcerative colitis patients induce apoptosis of gastrointestinal epithelial cells. Microb Pathog 2017; 112:126-134.

Abstract
The human microbiome consists of a multitude of bacterial genera and species which continuously interact with one another and their host establishing a metabolic equilibrium. The dysbiosis can lead to the development of pathology, such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Sulfide-producing prokaryotes, including sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) constituting different genera, including the Desulfovibrio, are commonly detected within the human microbiome recovered from fecal material or colonic biopsy samples. It has been proposed that SRB likely contribute to colonic pathology, for example ulcerative colitis (UC). The interaction of SRB with the human colon and intestinal epithelial cell lines has been investigated using Desulfovibrio indonesiensis as a model mono-culture and in a co-culture with E. coli isolate, and with SRB consortia from human biopsy samples. We find that D. indonesiensis, whether as a mono- or co-culture, was internalized and induced apoptosis in colon epithelial cells. This effect was enhanced in the presence of E. coli. The SRB combination obtained through enrichment of biopsies from UC patients induced apoptosis of a human intestinal epithelial cell line. This response was not observed in SRB enrichments from healthy (non-UC) controls. Importantly, apoptosis was detected in epithelial cells from UC patients and was not seen in epithelial cells of healthy donors. Furthermore, the antibody raised against exopolysaccharides (EPS) of D. indonesiensis cross reacted with the SRB population from UC patients but not with the SRB combination from non-UC controls. This study reinforces a correlation between the presence of sulphate-reducing bacteria and an inflammatory response in UC sufferers.

Abstract
Cardiovascular studies have confirmed that hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) is involved in various signaling pathways in both physiological and pathological conditions, including hypertension. In contrast to nitric oxide (NO), which has a clear vasorelaxant action, H(2)S has both vasorelaxing and vasoconstricting effects on the cardiovascular system. H(2)S is an important antihypertensive agent, and the reduced production of H(2)S and the alterations in its functions are involved in the initiation of spontaneous hypertension. Moreover, cross-talk between H(2)S and NO has been reported. NO-H(2)S interactions include reactions between the molecules themselves, and each has been shown to regulate the endogenous production of the other. In addition, NO and H(2)S can interact to form a nitrosothiol/s complex, which has original properties and represents a novel nitroso-sulphide signaling pathway. Furthermore, recent results have shown that the interaction between H(2)S and NO could be involved in the endothelium-regulated compensatory mechanisms that are observed in juvenile spontaneously hypertensive rats. The present review is devoted to role of H(2)S in vascular tone regulation. We primarily focus on the mechanisms of H(2)S-NO interactions and on the role of H(2)S in blood pressure regulation in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beneficial effects of carbohydrate fermentation on gastrointestinal health are well established. Conversely, protein fermentation generates harmful metabolites but their relevance to gastrointestinal health is poorly understood. AIM To review the effects of increased protein fermentation on biomarkers of colonic health, factors influencing fermentative activity and potential for dietary modulation to minimise detrimental effects. METHODS A literature search was performed in PubMed, Medline, EMBASE and Google scholar for clinical and pre-clinical studies using search terms - 'dietary protein', 'fermentation', 'putrefaction', 'phenols', 'sulphide', 'branched-chain fatty acid', 'carbohydrate fermentation', 'gastrointestinal'. RESULTS High protein, reduced carbohydrate diets alter the colonic microbiome, favouring a potentially pathogenic and pro-inflammatory microbiota profile, decreased short-chain fatty acid production and increased ammonia, phenols and hydrogen sulphide concentrations. These metabolites largely compromise the colonic epithelium structure, causing mucosal inflammation but may also directly modulate the enteric nervous system and intestinal motility. Increased protein fermentation as a result of a high-protein intake can be attenuated by addition of oligosaccharides, resistant starch and nonstarch polysaccharides and a reduction in total protein or specifically, aromatic and sulphur-containing amino acids. These factors may have clinical importance as novel therapeutic approaches to problems, in which protein fermentation may be implicated, such as malodorous flatus, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis and prevention of colorectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS The direct clinical relevance of excessive protein fermentation in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome, malodorous flatus and ulcerative colitis are underexplored. Manipulating dietary carbohydrate and protein intake have potential therapeutic applications in such settings and warrant further clinical studies.

J Surg Res 2015; 199:197-210. [PMID: 25956183 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2015.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2014] [Revised: 03/11/2015] [Accepted: 04/01/2015] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been demonstrated to induce a "suspended animation-like" state in rodent models by reversible inhibition of cellular respiration and marked metabolic suppression and has been proposed as a potential pharmacologic adjunct to resuscitation from shock states. There are few data currently available about the mechanisms and efficacy of H2S in larger animals or humans. We examined H2S as a pharmacologic adjunct to resuscitation in a porcine model of severe traumatic shock. METHODS Twenty-one adult swine were assigned to three study arms: sham, H2S, and saline vehicle controls (SC). All pigs underwent laparotomy and instrumentation, and the two study arms then underwent a 35% controlled hemorrhage followed by 50 min of truncal ischemia via aortic cross-clamp. H2S (5 mg/kg) or saline was administered immediately before reperfusion, followed by 6 h of resuscitation. Resuscitation requirements, laboratory parameters, end-organ histology, and inflammatory product gene expression (by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) were measured and compared between groups. RESULTS All animals survived to the 6-h postresuscitation time point. Both treatment arms demonstrated severe shock characterized by fluid and vasopressor requirements, metabolic acidosis, and hypotension compared with sham animals. Animals treated with H2S demonstrated significantly lower resuscitative requirements (total epinephrine 727 versus 3052 μg; P < 0.05), decreased fluid requirements, and lower serum lactate levels (7 versus 10 mmol/L) versus SC. Cardiac output was slightly decreased with H2S treatment but all other hemodynamic and metabolic parameters were equivalent between H2S and C groups. Serum liver and kidney biomarkers were unchanged, but administration of H2S was associated with a significant improvement in histopathologic liver and kidney injury scores compared with SC (both P < 0.05). Both study groups demonstrated significantly increased gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and nitric oxide synthase (endogenous nitric oxide synthase, inducible nitric oxide synthase [iNOS]2, iNOS3) relative to sham animals. However, H2S was associated with increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and decreased iNOS2 levels compared with SC. CONCLUSIONS Administration of H2S in a large-animal model of severe traumatic shock resulted in a significant decrease in resuscitative requirements, decreased metabolic acidosis, and less end-organ histologic injury compared with standard resuscitation. H2S did not induce profound metabolic suppression as seen in rodents, and appears to have alternative mechanisms of action in large animals.

Abstract
Pharmacological concentrations of H2S donors inhibit some T cell functions by inhibiting mitochondrial function, but evidence is also emerging that H2S at physiological concentrations produced via chemical sources and endogenously is a positive physiological mediator of T cell function. Expression of the H2S biosynthetic enzymes cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) is induced in response to T cell receptor signaling. Inhibiting the induction of these enzymes limits T cell activation and proliferation, which can be overcome by exposure to exogenous H2S at submicromolar concentrations. Exogenous H2S at physiological concentrations increases the ability of T cells to form an immunological synapse by altering cytoskeletal actin dynamics and increasing the reorientation of the microtubule-organizing center. Downstream, H2S enhances T cell receptor-dependent induction of CD69, CD25, and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene expression. The T cell stimulatory activity of H2S is enhanced under hypoxic conditions that limit its oxidative metabolism by mitochondrial and nonenzymatic processes. Studies of the receptor CD47 have revealed the first endogenous inhibitory signaling pathway that regulates H2S signaling in T cells. Binding of the secreted protein thrombospondin-1 to CD47 elicits signals that block the stimulatory activity of exogenous H2S on T cell activation and limit the induction of CSE and CBS gene expression. CD47 signaling thereby inhibits T cell receptor-mediated T cell activation.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas characterized by the odor of rotten eggs, is produced by many cells in the airways and lungs, and may regulate physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. It plays a role in cellular signaling, and represents the third gasotransmitter after nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. Endogenous and exogenous H₂S have anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects, with inhibitory effects in models of lung inflammation and fibrosis. Under certain conditions, H₂S may also be proinflammatory. It is generally a vasodilator and relaxant of airway and vascular smooth muscle cells. It acts as a reducing agent, being able to scavenge superoxide and peroxynitrite. H₂S is detectable in serum and in sputum supernatants with raised levels observed in asthmatics. The sputum levels correlated inversely with lung function. H₂S may play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide is an important biological signaling molecule and an important environmental target for detection. A major challenge in developing H2S detection methods is separating the often similar reactivity of thiols and other nucleophiles from H2S. To address this need, the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction of H2S with electron-poor aromatic electrophiles was developed as a strategy to separate H2S and thiol reactivity. Treatment of aqueous solutions of nitrobenzofurazan (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole, NBD) thioethers with H2S resulted in thiol extrusion and formation of nitrobenzofurazan thiol (λmax = 534 nm). This reactivity allows for unwanted thioether products to be converted to the desired nitrobenzofurazan thiol upon reaction with H2S. The scope of the reaction was investigated using a Hammett linear free energy relationship study, and the determined ρ = +0.34 is consistent with the proposed SN2Ar reaction mechanism. The efficacy of the developed probes was demonstrated in buffer and in serum with associated submicromolar detection limits as low as 190 nM (buffer) and 380 nM (serum). Furthermore, the sigmoidal response of nitrobenzofurazan electrophiles with H2S can be fit to accurately quantify H2S. The developed detection strategy offers a manifold for H2S detection that we foresee being applied in various future applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early treatment of spinal cord white matter injury has been found beneficial. H2S, a neurotransmitter is neuroprotective at lower doses. PURPOSE In the present study the effect of NaHS after clip compression injury of spinal cord white matter in vivo was studied. METHODS The injury was induced in 8-10 weeks old Wistar rats by exposing the spinal cord at T8-T10 level by laminectomy and applying 35 g clip for 1 min. A dose of 50 µM NaHS was given intraperitoneally after 1h of injury. 0.5mm Spinal cord tissues were collected 8h after injury from both sides including epicenter and dorsal column was microdissected and used for further study. RESULTS NaHS treatment decreases nitric oxide (NO) by 27% and lipid peroxide (LPO) by 18% as compared to injury, which are hallmark of attenuation in oxidative stress. Western blots shows significant changes in Myeloperoxidase (MPO) level went down by 10%. GSH contents increased 44% in treated group as compared to the injury group. NaHS treatment increased Nrf-2 expression 1.8 times. We found NaHS treatment reduced the GFAP expression 8%, there was no significant changes in NF-200 after treatment and no evident morphological changes with H and E staining. CONCLUSIONS With the above data we conclude that NaHS at 50 µM dose at 1h after injury reduces the NO, LPO, GFAP and MPO level at injury site by increasing the expression of Nrf-2. We expect that a decrease in these parameters during acute phase of spinal cord injury would be helpful in neuroprotection and regeneration.

Abstract
This work reports a spectrofluorimetric method for selective and sensitive determination of sulfide ion in aqueous solution. The ultra-small zinc sulfide quantum dots (QDs) doped with manganese (ZnS:Mn) were synthesized by using a simple and fast procedure based on the co-precipitation of nanoparticles in aqueous solution in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol, as capping agent. The nanoparticles have exhibited two strong fluorescent emissions at about 424 and 594 nm. Luminescent surface-capped ZnS:Mn QDs, with particle size below 5 nm, have been applied for determination of sulfide anions in water samples. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity of ZnS:Mn QDs is linearly proportional to the sulfide ion concentration in the range 1.2×10(-6) to 2.6×10(-5) mol L(-1) with a detection limit as 3.3×10(-7) mol L(-1). The relative standard deviation for five replicate measurements (for 8.0×10(-6) mol L(-1) of S(2-)) was obtained to be 2.6%. It was founded that the interference of the other anions was negligible on the quantitive determination of sulfide ion.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a toxic gaseous substance, and accidental exposure to high concentrations of H₂S has been reported to be lethal to humans. Inhaled and absorbed H₂S is partially dissolved within the circulation and causes toxic effects on lymphocytes. However, the mechanisms involved in H₂S toxicity have not been well documented. In this study, we examined the cellular uptake and injury of sulfide-exposed human T lymphocytes (Jurkat). Cells were exposed to a H₂S donor, sodium hydroxysulfide (NaHS), at pH 6.0, 7.0, or 8.0 for 1 h at 37 °C in a sealed conical tube to avoid the loss of dissolved H₂S gas. Cytotoxicity and cellular sulfide concentrations increased dramatically as the pH of the NaHS solution decreased. Sulfide enhanced the cleavage of caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and induced early cellular apoptosis. A pan-caspase inhibitor reduced sulfide-induced apoptosis. These results indicate that sulfide induces pH-dependent and caspase-dependent apoptosis. We also found that blebbing of the plasma membrane occurred in sulfide-exposed cells. Both ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 (Rho kinases) were activated by sulfide, and sulfide-induced cell blebbing was suppressed by a ROCK inhibitor, suggesting that a Rho pathway is involved in sulfide-induced blebbing in lymphocytes.

Abstract
H2S is a colorless, poisonous, and flammable gas with the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs. H2S is present in effluent from hydrothermal vents and sulfur springs, which have been proposed to act as "pores" in the Earth surface, providing a source of energy in the form of reducing equivalents and of iron-sulfur centers. Remarkably, H2S-producing machineries or H2S-utilization capacity remain within a great diversity of microorganisms. In particular, two classes of bacteria have been identified, that is, sulfate- and sulfur-reducing and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, both contributing to the balance of the H2S level. The human body produces H2S and uses it as a signaling molecule in several physiological processes. However, many diseases, including neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and metabolic disorders, have been linked to abnormal endogenous H2S functions and metabolism. Remarkably, in recent years, the therapeutic administration of H2S(-donors) appears relevant in the treatment of some diseases. Here, H2S metabolism, as well as its physiological and pathological roles in humans is reviewed. Furthermore, the therapeutic use of H2S is discussed.
