Abstract
Considering the important cytoprotective and signaling roles but relatively narrow therapeutic index of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), advanced H2S donors are required to achieve a therapeutic effect. In this study, we proposed glutathione dithiophosphates as new combination donors of H2S and glutathione. The kinetics of H2S formation in dithiophosphate solutions suggested a continuous H2S release by the donors, which was higher for the dithiophosphate of reduced glutathione than oxidized glutathione. The compounds, unlike NaHS, inhibited the proliferation of C2C12 myoblasts at submillimolar concentrations due to an efficient increase in intracellular H2S. The H2S donors more profoundly affected reactive oxygen species and reduced glutathione levels in C2C12 myocytes, in which these parameters were elevated compared to myoblasts. Oxidized glutathione dithiophosphate as well as control donors exerted antioxidant action toward myocytes, whereas the effect of reduced glutathione dithiophosphate at (sub-)micromolar concentrations was rather modulating. This dithiophosphate showed an enhanced negative inotropic effect mediated by H2S upon contraction of the atrial myocardium, furthermore, its activity was prolonged and reluctant for washing. These findings identify glutathione dithiophosphates as redox-modulating H2S donors with long-acting profile, which are of interest for further pharmacological investigation.

Abstract
The gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulphide (H2 S), long considered only toxicant, are produced in vivo during the catabolism of common biological molecules and are crucial for a large variety of physiological processes. Mounting evidence is emerging that in poikilotherm vertebrates, as in mammals, they modulate the basal performance of the heart and the response to stress challenges. In this review, we will focus on teleost fish and amphibians to highlight the evolutionary importance in vertebrates of the cardiac control elicited by NO, CO and H2 S, and the conservation of the intracellular cascades they activate. Although many gaps are still present due to discontinuous information, we will use examples obtained by studies from our and other laboratories to illustrate the complexity of the mechanisms that, by involving gasotransmitters, allow beat-to-beat, short-, medium- and long-term cardiac homoeostasis. By presenting the latest data, we will also provide a framework in which the peculiar morpho-functional arrangement of the teleost and amphibian heart can be considered as a reference tool to decipher cardiac regulatory networks which are difficult to explore using more conventional vertebrates, such as mammals.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a well-established member of the gasotransmitter family, is involved in a variety of physiological functions, including pro-nociceptive action in the sensory system. Although several reports have shown that H2S activates sensory neurons, the molecular targets of H2S action in trigeminal (TG) nociception, implicated in migraine, remains controversial. In this study, using suction electrode recordings, we investigate the effect of the H2S donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), on nociceptive firing in rat meningeal TG nerve fibers. The effect of NaHS was also explored with patch-clamp and calcium imaging techniques on isolated TG neurons. NaHS dramatically increased the nociceptive firing in TG nerve fibers. This effect was abolished by the TRPV1 inhibitor capsazepine but was partially prevented by the TRPA1 blocker HC 030031. In a fraction of isolated TG neurons, NaHS transiently increased amplitude of capsaicin-induced currents. Moreover, NaHS by itself induced inward currents in sensory neurons, which were abolished by the TRPV1 inhibitor capsazepine suggesting involvement of TRPV1 receptors. In contrast, the inhibitor of TRPA1 receptors HC 030031 did not prevent the NaHS-induced currents. Imaging of a large population of TG neurons revealed that NaHS induced calcium transients in 41% of tested neurons. Interestingly, this effect of NaHS in some neurons was inhibited by the TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine whereas in others it was sensitive to the TRPA1 blocker HC 030031. Our data suggest that both TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors play a role in the pro-nociceptive action of NaHS in peripheral TG nerve endings in meninges and in somas of TG neurons. We propose that activation of TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors by H2S during neuro-inflammation conditions contributes to the nociceptive firing in primary afferents underlying migraine pain.

Abstract
We studied the role of cyclic nucleotides in the influence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, 200 μM), on motor activity of rat jejunum. NaHS reduced spontaneous and carbachol-induced contractions of rat jejunum segment, which suggests that H2S can act through mechanisms involving muscarinic receptor activation. Against the background of a membrane-penetrating non-hydrolyzable cAMP analogue or under conditions of adenylate cyclase blockade, the inhibitory effect of NaHS on the carbachol-induced contractions was maintained. Against the background of elevated cGMP concentration or guanylate cyclase inhibition, the reduction of carbachol-induced contractions upon exposure to NaHS was less pronounced than in control. It was hypothesized that H2S induces relaxation of carbachol-induced jejunum contractions, affecting protein kinase G targets or activating cGMP synthesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the mechanisms by which H2 S modulates coronary microvascular resistance and myocardial perfusion at rest and in response to cardiac ischemia. METHODS Experiments were conducted in isolated coronary arteries and in open-chest anesthetized dogs. RESULTS We found that the H2 S substrate l-cysteine (1-10 mM) did not alter coronary tone of isolated arteries in vitro or coronary blood flow in vivo. In contrast, intracoronary (ic) H2 S (0.1-3 mM) increased coronary flow from 0.49 ± 0.08 to 2.65 ± 0.13 mL/min/g (p < 0.001). This increase in flow was unaffected by inhibition of Kv channels with 4-aminopyridine (p = 0.127) but was attenuated (0.23 ± 0.02-1.13 ± 0.13 mL/min/g) by the KATP channel antagonist glibenclamide (p < 0.001). Inhibition of NO synthesis (l-NAME) did not attenuate coronary responses to H2 S. Immunohistochemistry revealed expression of CSE, an endogenous H2 S enzyme, in myocardium. Inhibition of CSE with β-cyano-l-alanine (10 μM) had no effect on baseline coronary flow or responses to a 15-second coronary occlusion (p = 0.82). CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that exogenous H2 S induces potent, endothelial-independent dilation of the coronary microcirculation predominantly through the activation of KATP channels, however, our data do not support a functional role for endogenous H2 S in the regulation of coronary microvascular resistance.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) has recently emerged as an important mediator of mammalian cardiovascular homeostasis. In nonmammalian vertebrates, little is known about the cardiac effects of H₂S. This study aimed to evaluate, in the avascular heart of the frog, Rana esculenta, whether and to what extent H₂S affects the cardiac performance, and what is the mechanism of action responsible for the observed effects. Results were analyzed in relation to those obtained in the rat heart, used as the mammalian model. Isolated and perfused (working and Langendorff) hearts, Western blot analysis, and modified biotin switch (S-sulfhydration) assay were used. In the frog heart, NaHS (used as H₂S donor, 10⁻¹²/10⁻⁷ M) dose-dependently decreased inotropism. This effect was reduced by glibenclamide (KATP channels blocker), NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (NOS inhibitor), 1H-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (guanylyl cyclase inhibitor), KT₅₈₂₃ (PKG inhibitor), and it was blocked by Akt1/2 (Akt inhibitor) and by detergent Triton X-100. In the rat, in addition to the classic negative inotropic effect, NaHS (10⁻¹²/10⁻⁷ M) exhibited negative lusitropism. In both frog and rat hearts, NaHS treatment induced Akt and eNOS phosphorylation and an increased cardiac protein S-sulfhydration that, in the rat heart, includes phospholamban. Our data suggest that H₂S represents a phylogenetically conserved cardioactive molecule. Results obtained on the rat heart extend the role of H₂S also to cardiac relaxation. H₂S effects involve KATP channels, the Akt/NOS-cGMP/PKG pathway, and S-sulfhydration of cardiac proteins.
