Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the third new gas signaling molecule in the human body after the discovery of NO and CO. Similar to NO, it has the functions of vasodilation, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regulation of cell formation. Enzymes that can produce endogenous H2S, such as CSE, CSB, and 3-MST, are common in liver tissues and are important regulatory molecules in the liver. In the development of liver fibrosis, H2S concentration and expression of related enzymes change significantly, which makes it possible to use exogenous gases to treat liver diseases. This review summarizes the role of H2S in liver fibrosis and its complications induced by NAFLD and CCl4, and elaborates on the anti-liver fibrosis effect of H2S through the mechanism of reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation, regulating autophagy, regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, providing theoretical reference for further research on the treatment of liver fibrosis with H2S.

Protective role of fruits of Rosa odorata var. gigantea against WIRS-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats by modulating pathway related to inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINES 2024; 16:263-273. [PMID: 38706820 PMCID: PMC11064581 DOI: 10.1016/j.chmed.2023.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Rosa odorata var. gigantea is a popular medicinal plant. Some studies have demonstrated that ethanolic extract of the fruits of R. odorata var. gigantea (FOE) has gastroprotective properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the gastroprotective activity of FOE on water immersion restrained stress (WIRS)-induced gastric mucosal injury in a rat model and elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms involved. Methods A rat stress ulcer model was established in this study using WIRS. After rats were treated with FOE orally for 7 d, the effect of FOE treatment was analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and the changes of inflammatory factors, oxidative stress factors, and gastric-specific regulatory factors and pepsin in the blood and gastric tissues of rats were examined by ELISA assay. Molecular mechanism of FOE was investigated by immunohistochemical assay and Western blot. Results Compared with the WIRS group, FOE could diminish both the macroscopic and microscopic pathological morphology of gastric mucosa. FOE significantly preserved the antioxidants glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) contents; anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-10 (IL-10) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels as well as regulatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TGF-α) and somatostatin (SS) contents, while decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), gastrin (GAS) and endothelin (ET) levels. Moreover, FOE distinctly upregulated the expression of Nrf2, HO-1, Bcl2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). In addition, FOE activated the expression of p-EGFR and downregulated the expression of NF-κB, Bax, Cleaved-caspase-3, Cyto-C and Cleaved-PARP1, thus promoting gastric mucosal cell survival. Conclusion The current work demonstrated that FOE exerted a gastroprotective activity against gastric mucosal injury induced by WIRS. The underlying mechanism might be associated with the improvement of anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis systems.

Abstract
Significance: Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are, to date, the identified members of the gasotransmitter family, which consists of gaseous signaling molecules that play central roles in the regulation of a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes, including inflammatory edema. Recent Advances: Recent studies show the potential anti-inflammatory and antiedematogenic effects of NO-, CO-, and H2S-donors in vivo. In general, it has been observed that the therapeutical effects of NO-donors are more relevant when administered at low doses at the onset of the inflammatory process. Regarding CO-donors, their antiedematogenic effects are mainly associated with inhibition of proinflammatory mediators (such as inducible NO synthase [iNOS]-derived NO), and the observed protective effects of H2S-donors seem to be mediated by reducing some proinflammatory enzyme activities. Critical Issues: The most recent investigations focus on the interactions among the gasotransmitters under different pathophysiological conditions. However, the biochemical/pharmacological nature of these interactions is neither general nor fully understood, although specifically dependent on the site where the inflammatory edema occurs. Future Directions: Considering the nature of the involved mechanisms, a deeper knowledge of the interactions among the gasotransmitters is mandatory. In addition, the development of new pharmacological tools, either donors or synthesis inhibitors of the three gasotransmitters, will certainly aid the basic investigations and open new strategies for the therapeutic treatment of inflammatory edema.

Abstract
Hookah smoking has grown to become a global tobacco epidemic. While cigarette smoking is a well-established cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor, the CVD risks of hookah smoking are unknown, particularly among regular U.S. adult hookah users who are predominantly non-daily users. Herein, we examined the association between hookah smoking and biomarkers of CVD risk among regular exclusive hookah smokers (n = 75), compared to regular exclusive cigarette smokers (n = 1773), dual hookah and cigarette smokers (n = 43) and never tobacco users (n = 757), using data from a nationally representative sample of adults from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study (2013-2014). Whereas 84% of cigarette smokers reported daily use, only 8% of hookah smokers reported daily use, with more than a third reporting monthly use. Adjusting for age and sex and as compared to exclusive cigarette smokers, exclusive hookah smokers had significantly lower geometric mean concentrations in serum sICAM-1 and urinary F2-isoprostane (p < 0.05). Although not statistically significant, a signal of increased oxidative stress was observed among hookah smokers as compared to never tobacco users (urinary F2-isoprostane). CVD-related harm biomarkers appear to be lower among hookah smokers than cigarette smokers. These findings represent patterns of hookah smoking predominantly shared among adult U.S. users who report non-daily occasional use and do not reflect solitary, daily use as is common in the Middle East. Future studies with longer exposure and longitudinal hookah use are warranted to explore the association between hookah smoking and CVD risk.

The mitochondria-targeted sulfide delivery molecule attenuates drugs-induced gastropathy. Involvement of heme oxygenase pathway. Redox Biol 2023; 66:102847. [PMID: 37597422 PMCID: PMC10458696 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling and H2S-prodrugs maintain redox balance in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Predominant effect of any H2S-donor is mitochondrial. Non-targeted H2S-moieties were shown to decrease the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-induced gastrotoxicity but in high doses. However, direct, controlled delivery of H2S to gastric mucosal mitochondria as a molecular target improving NSAIDs-pharmacology remains overlooked. Thus, we treated Wistar rats, i.g. with vehicle, mitochondria-targeted H2S-releasing AP39 (0.004-0.5 mg/kg), AP219 (0.02 mg/kg) as structural control without H2S-releasing ability, or AP39 + SnPP (10 mg/kg) as a heme oxygenase (HMOX) inhibitor. Next, animals were administered i.g. with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, 125 mg/kg) as NSAIDs representative or comparatively with 75% ethanol to induce translational hemorrhagic or necrotic gastric lesions, that were assessed micro-/macroscopically. Activity of mitochondrial complex IV/V, and DNA oxidation were assessed biochemically. Gastric mucosal/serum content of IL-1β, IL-10, TNF-α, TGF-β1/2, ARG1, GST-α, or phosphorylation of mTOR, NF-κB, ERK, Akt, JNK, STAT3/5 were evaluated by microbeads-fluorescent xMAP®-assay; gastric mucosal mRNA level of HMOX-1/2, COX-1/2, SOD-1/2 by real-time PCR. AP39 (but not AP219) dose-dependently (0.02 and 0.1 mg/kg) diminished NSAID- (and ethanol)-induced gastric lesions and DNA oxidation, restoring mitochondrial complexes activity, ARG1, GST-α protein levels and increasing HMOX-1 and SOD-2 expression. AP39 decreased proteins levels or phosphorylation of gastric mucosal inflammation/oxidation-sensitive markers and restored mTOR phosphorylation. Pharmacological inhibition of HMOX-1 attenuated AP39-gastroprotection. We showed that mitochondria-targeted H2S released from very low i.g. doses of AP39 improved gastric mucosal capacity to cope with NSAIDs-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and redox imbalance, mechanistically requiring the activity of HMOX-1.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. Among the pathological manifestations is the progressive degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway, leading to massive loss of neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and dopamine (DA) depletion. Therefore, the current drug treatment is primarily based on DA supplementation and delaying the progression of the disease. However, as patients' symptoms continue to worsen, the drug effect will gradually decrease or even disappear, thereby further aggravating clinical symptoms. Gas signaling molecules, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen (H2), exhibit pleiotropic biological functions and play crucial roles in physiological and pathological effects. In common neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and PD, gas signal molecules can prevent or delay disease occurrence via the primary mechanisms of antioxidation, anti-inflammatory response, and antiapoptosis. This article reviews the therapeutic progress of gas signaling molecules in PD models and discusses the possibility of their clinical applications.

Abstract
Introduction: The gastric mucosa (GM) is the first barrier and vital interface in the stomach that protects the host from hydrochloric acid in gastric juice and defends against exogenous insults to gastric tissues. The use of traditional Chinese medications (TCMs) for the treatment of gastric mucosal injury (GMI) has long-standing history and a good curative effect. Whereas there are poor overall reports on the intrinsic mechanisms of these TCM preparations that pharmacology uses to protect body from GMI, which is crucial to treating this disease. These existing reviews have deficiencies that limit the clinical application and development of both customary prescriptions and new drugs. Methods: Further basic and translational studies must be done to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms of influence of these TCM preparations. Moreover, well-designed and well-conducted experiences and clinical trials are necessary to ascertain the efficacy and mechanisms of these agents. Therefore, this paper presents a focused overview of currently published literature to assess how TCMs action that facilitates the cures for GMI. It offers a whole train of current state of pharmacological evidence, identifies the pharmacological mechanisms of TCMs on GM, and highlights that remarkable capacity of TCMs to restore GM after damage. Results: These TCMs preparations promote the repair of multicomponent targets such as the gastric mucus, epithelial layer, blood flow (GMBF) and lamina propria barrier. Summary: Overall, this study has summarized the essential regulatory mechanisms and pharmacological efficacy of TCMs on new and productive therapeutic targets. Discussion: This review provides an avenue for studying various drugs with potentially promising effects on mucosal integrity, as well as subsequent pharmacological studies, clinical applications, and new drug development.

Abstract
Cardiovascular, rheumatic, kidney, and neurodegenerative diseases and mental disorders are a common cause of deterioration in the quality of life up to severe disability and death worldwide. Many pathological conditions, including this group of diseases, are based on increased cell death through apoptosis. It is known that this process is associated with signaling pathways controlled by a group of gaseous signaling molecules called gasotransmitters. They are unique messengers that can control the process of apoptosis at different stages of its implementation. However, their role in the regulation of apoptotic signaling in these pathological conditions is often controversial and not completely clear. This review analyzes the role of nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in apoptotic cell death in cardiovascular, rheumatic, kidney, and neurodegenerative diseases. The signaling processes involved in apoptosis in schizophrenia, bipolar, depressive, and anxiety disorders are also considered. The role of gasotransmitters in apoptosis in these diseases is largely determined by cell specificity and concentration. NO has the greatest dualism; scales are more prone to apoptosis. At the same time, CO, H2S, and SO2 are more involved in cytoprotective processes.

Abstract
Meloxicam is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and has been widely used in combination with antibiotics to alleviate uterine inflammation and provide analgesia in postpartum cows. Studies have shown that meloxicam has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the link between meloxicam and uterine inflammation and oxidative stress in dairy cows has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to research the effects of meloxicam (0.5 or 5 μM) on oxidative stress and inflammatory response of primary bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEEC) stimulated by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (1 μg/mL LPS). As a result, LPS stimulated the production of oxidative stress markers and the expression of inflammatory factors, accompanied by a decrease in the activity and the gene transcription of antioxidant enzymes. Co-treatment of meloxicam and LPS reduced the content of oxidative stress markers and the mRNA levels of the pro-inflammatory genes, and improved antioxidant enzyme activities and the corresponding gene expression as compared with the cells treated with LPS alone. Meloxicam attenuated the inhibitory effect of the Nrf2 pathway and the phosphorylation levels of p65 and IκBα caused by LPS. In conclusion, meloxicam alone had no effect on BEEC, but prevented oxidative stress and inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated BEEC.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection (HPI) is an important risk factor of gastrointestinal diseases, but factors leading to it are still not fully understood. To investigate the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and HPI during outpatient visits, we collected daily data for HPI outpatient visits and air pollutant concentrations during 2014-2021 in Hefei, Anhui Province, China. A time-stratified case-crossover design was performed to analyze the acute impacts of air pollution on HPI outpatient visits. We also explored potential effect modifiers. A total of 9072 outpatient visits were recorded. We found positive and statistically significant associations of acute exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon monoxide (CO) with HPI outpatient visits. Threshold concentrations of the three pollutants with same-day exposure (lag 0 day) for outpatient visits were 37 μg/m3 for NO2, 8 μg/m3 for SO2, and 0.8 mg/m3 for CO. The odds ratios for HPI outpatient visits at the 95th percentile of NO2, SO2, and CO against the thresholds were 1.207 (1.120-1.302), 1.175 (1.052-1.312), and 1.110 (1.019-1.209), respectively. The associations were more evident in patients older than 45 years, females, with health insurance, and in cold seasons. Null associations of exposure to either ozone (O3) or particulate matter (PM) were observed. In summary, short-term exposure to NO2, SO2, and CO above certain concentrations, but not PM or O3, may trigger the increased risk of outpatient visits due to HP infection in Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines are essential in autoimmune inflammatory processes that accompany type 1 diabetes. Tumor necrosis factor alpha plays a key role among others in modulating enteric neuroinflammation, however, it has a dual role in cell degeneration or survival depending on different TNFRs. In general, TNFR1 is believed to trigger apoptosis, while TNFR2 promotes cell regeneration. The importance of the neuronal microenvironment has been recently highlighted in gut region-specific diabetic enteric neuropathy, however, the expression and alterations of different TNFRs in the gastrointestinal tract has not been reported.
AIM To investigate the TNFR1 and TNFR2 expression in myenteric ganglia and their environment in different intestinal segments of diabetic rats.
METHODS Ten weeks after the onset of hyperglycemia, gut segments were taken from the duodenum, ileum and colon of streptozotocin-induced (60 mg/body weight kg i.p.) diabetic (n = 17), insulin-treated diabetic (n = 15) and sex- and age-matched control (n = 15) rats. Myenteric plexus whole-mount preparations were prepared from different gut regions for TNFR1/HuCD or TNFR2/HuCD double-labeling fluorescent immunohistochemistry. TNFR1 and TNFR2 expression was evaluated by post-embedding immunogold electron microscopy on ultrathin sections of myenteric ganglia. TNFRs levels were measured by enzyme-linked immun-osorbent assay in muscle/myenteric plexus-containing (MUSCLE-MP) tissue homogenates from different gut segments and experimental conditions.
RESULTS A distinct region-dependent TNFRs expression was detected in controls. The density of TNFR1-labeling gold particles was lowest, while TNFR2 density was highest in duodenal ganglia and a decreased TNFRs expression from proximal to distal segments was observed in MUSCLE-MP homogenates. In diabetics, the TNFR2 density was only significantly altered in the duodenum with decrease in the ganglia (0.32 ± 0.02 vs 0.45 ± 0.04, P < 0.05), while no significant changes in TNFR1 density was observed. In diabetic MUSCLE-MP homogenates, both TNFRs levels significantly decreased in the duodenum (TNFR1: 4.06 ± 0.65 vs 20.32 ± 3.1, P < 0.001; TNFR2: 11.72 ± 0.39 vs 15.91 ± 1.04, P < 0.01), which markedly influenced the TNFR2/TNFR1 proportion in both the ganglia and their muscular environment. Insulin treatment had controversial effects on TNFR expression.
CONCLUSION Our findings show diabetes-related region-dependent changes in TNFR expression and suggest that TNFR2 is more affected than TNFR1 in myenteric ganglia in the duodenum of type 1 diabetic rats.

Abstract
Significance: As the central metabolic organ, the liver is exposed to a variety of potentially cytotoxic, proinflammatory, profibrotic, and carcinogenic stimuli. To protect the organism from these deleterious effects, the liver has evolved a number of defense systems, which include antioxidant substrates and enzymes, anti-inflammatory tools, enzymatic biotransformation systems, and metabolic pathways. Recent Advances: One of the pivotal systems that evolved during phylogenesis was the heme catabolic pathway. Comprising the important enzymes heme oxygenase and biliverdin reductase, this complex pathway has a number of key functions including enzymatic activities, but also cell signaling, and DNA transcription. It further generates two important bile pigments, biliverdin and bilirubin, as well as the gaseous molecule carbon monoxide. These heme degradation products have potent antioxidant, immunosuppressive, and cytoprotective effects. Recent data suggest that the pathway participates in the regulation of metabolic and hormonal processes implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic and other diseases. Critical Issues: This review discusses the impact of the heme catabolic pathway on major liver diseases, with particular focus on the involvement of cellular targeting and signaling in the pathogenesis of these conditions. Future Directions: To utilize the biological consequences of the heme catabolic pathway, several unique therapeutic strategies have been developed. Research indicates that pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and lifestyle modifications positively affect the pathway, delivering potentially long-term clinical benefits. However, further well-designed studies are needed to confirm the clinical benefits of these approaches. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 35, 734-752.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has long been considered purely as a toxic gas. It binds to hemoglobin at high concentrations and displaces oxygen from its binding site, resulting in carboxyhemoglobin formation, which reduces oxygen-carrying capacity of blood and culminates in tissue hypoxia and its associated complications. Recently, however, CO is quickly moving past its historic notorious tag as a poisonous gas to a physiological signaling molecule with therapeutic potentials in several clinical situations including transplant-induced injury. This review discusses current knowledge of CO gas and CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) in preclinical models of lung and liver transplantation, and underlying molecular mechanisms of cyto- and organ protection during organ procurement, preservation, implantation and post-transplant periods. In addition, a discussion of the future of CO in clinical organ transplantation is provided.

Abstract
Endogenous gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and potential candidates sulfur dioxide (SO2), methane (CH4), hydrogen gas (H2), ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2), are generated within the human body. Endogenous and potential gasotransmitters regulate inflammation, vasodilation, and oxidation in inflammatory dermatological disorders. Endogenous and potential gasotransmitters play potential roles in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, and chronic skin ulcers. Further research should explore the function of these gases and gas donors and inhibitors in inflammatory dermatological disorders.
Background Endogenous gasotransmitters are small gaseous mediators that can be generated endogenously by mammalian organisms. The dysregulation of the gasotransmitter system is associated with numerous disorders ranging from inflammatory diseases to cancers. However, the relevance of these endogenous gasotransmitters, prodrug donors and inhibitors in inflammatory dermatological disorders has not yet been thoroughly reviewed and discussed. Aim of review This review discusses the recent progress and will provide perspectives on endogenous gasotransmitters in the context of inflammatory dermatological disorders. Key scientific concepts of review Endogenous gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are signaling molecules that regulate several physiological and pathological processes. In addition, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), methane (CH4), hydrogen gas (H2), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2) can also be generated endogenously and may take part in physiological and pathological processes. These signaling molecules regulate inflammation, vasodilation, and oxidative stress, offering therapeutic potential and attracting interest in the field of inflammatory dermatological disorders including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, rosacea, and chronic skin ulcers. The development of effective gas donors and inhibitors is a promising alternative to treat inflammatory dermatological disorders with controllable and precise delivery in the future.

Abstract
The influence of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHCy) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. HHCy is associated with inflammation and atherosclerosis, and it is an independent risk factor for CVD, stroke and myocardial infarction. However, homocysteine (HCy)-lowering therapy does not affect the inflammatory state of CVD patients, and it has little influence on cardiovascular risk. The HCy degradation product hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a cardioprotector. Previous research proposed a positive role of H2S in the cardiovascular system, and we discuss some recent data suggesting that HHCy worsens CVD by increasing the production of H2S, which decreases the expression of adenosine A2A receptors on the surface of immune and cardiovascular cells to cause inflammation and ischemia, respectively.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) were previously considered as toxic gases, but now they are found to be members of mammalian gasotransmitters family. Both H2S and SO2 are endogenously produced in sulfur-containing amino acid metabolic pathway in vivo. The enzymes catalyzing the formation of H2S are mainly CBS, CSE, and 3-MST, and the key enzymes for SO2 production are AAT1 and AAT2. Endogenous NO is produced from L-arginine under catalysis of three isoforms of NOS (eNOS, iNOS, and nNOS). HO-mediated heme catabolism is the main source of endogenous CO. These four gasotransmitters play important physiological and pathophysiological roles in mammalian cardiovascular, nervous, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and immune systems. The similarity among these four gasotransmitters can be seen from the same and/or shared signals. With many studies on the biological effects of gasotransmitters on multiple systems, the interaction among H2S and other gasotransmitters has been gradually explored. H2S not only interacts with NO to form nitroxyl (HNO), but also regulates the HO/CO and AAT/SO2 pathways. Here, we review the biosynthesis and metabolism of the gasotransmitters in mammals, as well as the known complicated interactions among H2S and other gasotransmitters (NO, CO, and SO2) and their effects on various aspects of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, such as vascular tension, angiogenesis, heart contractility, and cardiac protection.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of heme oxidative degradation, generating carbon monoxide (CO), free iron, and biliverdin. HO-1, a stress inducible enzyme, is considered as an anti-oxidative and cytoprotective agent. As many studies suggest, HO-1 is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract where it is involved in the response to inflammatory processes, which may lead to several diseases such as pancreatitis, diabetes, fatty liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. In this review, we highlight the pivotal role of HO-1 and its downstream effectors in the development of disorders and their beneficial effects on the maintenance of the gastrointestinal tract health. We also examine clinical trials involving the therapeutic targets derived from HO-1 system for the most common diseases of the digestive system.

[PMID: 32781284 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2020.105119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 115] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is now recognized as an endogenous signaling gasotransmitter in mammals. It is produced by mammalian cells and tissues by various enzymes - predominantly cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) - but part of the H2S is produced by the intestinal microbiota (colonic H2S-producing bacteria). Here we summarize the available information on the production and functional role of H2S in the various cell types typically associated with innate immunity (neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils) and adaptive immunity (T and B lymphocytes) under normal conditions and as it relates to the development of various inflammatory and immune diseases. Special attention is paid to the physiological and the pathophysiological aspects of the oral cavity and the colon, where the immune cells and the parenchymal cells are exposed to a special "H2S environment" due to bacterial H2S production. H2S has many cellular and molecular targets. Immune cells are "surrounded" by a "cloud" of H2S, as a result of endogenous H2S production and exogenous production from the surrounding parenchymal cells, which, in turn, importantly regulates their viability and function. Downregulation of endogenous H2S producing enzymes in various diseases, or genetic defects in H2S biosynthetic enzyme systems either lead to the development of spontaneous autoimmune disease or accelerate the onset and worsen the severity of various immune-mediated diseases (e.g. autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis or asthma). Low, regulated amounts of H2S, when therapeutically delivered by small molecule donors, improve the function of various immune cells, and protect them against dysfunction induced by various noxious stimuli (e.g. reactive oxygen species or oxidized LDL). These effects of H2S contribute to the maintenance of immune functions, can stimulate antimicrobial defenses and can exert anti-inflammatory therapeutic effects in various diseases.
