Abstract
We present a comprehensive theoretical examination of the structural properties of dianionic polysulfides [Sn]2- (n = 2-6), their conjugated monoacids [HSn]- (n = 2-6), and a selection of 1e--oxidized radical anions [Sn]•- (n = 2-4), in aqueous and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. We investigated the structures and stabilities of various conformational isomers within these families of compounds by employing Quantum Mechanics-Molecular Mechanics (QM-MM) Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The explicit inclusion of solvent molecules in the calculations revealed stable conformational structures that were previously unreported and might have appreciable concentrations in real systems. The interconversions between the isomeric structures proceed on the order of hundreds of picoseconds and are energetically similar to the isomerization processes in substituted cyclohexanes. We also conducted a detailed analysis of the stability of different isomers of the radical anion [S4]•- in solution. Our findings highlight the significant influence of the solvent on the isomerizations, a result that could be particularly relevant for enhancing the performance of metal-sulfur batteries.

Redox Biol 2024; 73:103192. [PMID: 38776754 PMCID: PMC11163171 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In animals, dietary sulfur amino acid restriction (SAAR) improves metabolic health, possibly mediated by altering sulfur amino acid metabolism and enhanced anti-obesogenic processes in adipose tissue. AIM To assess the effects of SAAR over time on the plasma and urine SAA-related metabolites (sulfurome) in humans with overweight and obesity, and explore whether such changes were associated with body weight, body fat and adipose tissue gene expression. METHODS Fifty-nine subjects were randomly allocated to SAAR (∼2 g SAA, n = 31) or a control diet (∼5.6 g SAA, n = 28) consisting of plant-based whole-foods and supplemented with capsules to titrate contents of SAA. Sulfurome metabolites in plasma and urine at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks were measured using HPLC and LC-MS/MS. mRNA-sequencing of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) was performed to assess changes in gene expression. Data were analyzed with mixed model regression. Principal component analyses (PCA) were performed on the sulfurome data to identify potential signatures characterizing the response to SAAR. RESULTS SAAR led to marked decrease of the main urinary excretion product sulfate (p < 0.001) and plasma and/or 24-h urine concentrations of cystathionine, sulfite, thiosulfate, H2S, hypotaurine and taurine. PCA revealed a distinct metabolic signature related to decreased transsulfuration and H2S catabolism that predicted greater weight loss and android fat mass loss in SAAR vs. controls (all pinteraction < 0.05). This signature correlated positively with scWAT expression of genes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, electron transport and β-oxidation (FDR = 0.02). CONCLUSION SAAR leads to distinct alterations of the plasma and urine sulfurome in humans, and predicted increased loss of weight and android fat mass, and adipose tissue lipolytic gene expression in scWAT. Our data suggest that SAA are linked to obesogenic processes and that SAAR may be useful for obesity and related disorders. TRIAL IDENTIFIER: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04701346.

Slow Sulfide Donor GYY4137 Increased the Sensitivity of Two Breast Cancer Cell Lines to Paclitaxel by Different Mechanisms. Biomolecules 2024; 14:651. [PMID: 38927055 PMCID: PMC11202087 DOI: 10.3390/biom14060651] [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: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent affecting microtubule polymerization. The efficacy of PTX depends on the type of tumor, and its improvement would be beneficial in patients' treatment. Therefore, we tested the effect of slow sulfide donor GYY4137 on paclitaxel sensitivity in two different breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231, derived from a triple negative cell line, and JIMT1, which overexpresses HER2 and is resistant to trastuzumab. In JIMT1 and MDA-MB-231 cells, we compared IC50 and some metabolic (apoptosis induction, lactate/pyruvate conversion, production of reactive oxygen species, etc.), morphologic (changes in cytoskeleton), and functional (migration, angiogenesis) parameters for PTX and PTX/GYY4137, aiming to determine the mechanism of the sensitization of PTX. We observed improved sensitivity to paclitaxel in the presence of GYY4137 in both cell lines, but also some differences in apoptosis induction and pyruvate/lactate conversion between these cells. In MDA-MB-231 cells, GYY4137 increased apoptosis without affecting the IP3R1 protein, changing the morphology of the cytoskeleton. A mechanism of PTX sensitization by GYY4137 in JIMT1 cells is distinct from MDA-MB-231, and remains to be further elucidated. We suggest different mechanisms of action for H2S on the paclitaxel treatment of MDA-MB-231 and JIMT1 breast cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Although the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is well known for its vasodilatory effects, H2S also exhibits vasoconstricting properties. Herein, it is demonstrated that administration of H2S as intravenous sodium sulfide (Na2S) increased blood pressure in sheep and rats, and this effect persisted after H2S has disappeared from the blood. Inhibition of the L-type calcium channel (LTCC) diminished the hypertensive effects. Incubation of Na2S with whole blood, red blood cells, methemoglobin, or oxyhemoglobin produced a hypertensive product of H2S, which is not hydrogen thioperoxide, metHb-SH- complexes, per-/poly- sulfides, or thiolsulfate, but rather a labile intermediate. One-electron oxidation of H2S by oxyhemoglobin generated its redox cousin, sulfhydryl radical (HS•). Consistent with the role of HS• as the hypertensive intermediate, scavenging HS• inhibited Na2S-induced vasoconstriction and activation of LTCCs. In conclusion, H2S causes vasoconstriction that is dependent on the activation of LTCCs and generation of HS• by oxyhemoglobin.

Abstract
Irisin is a myokine secreted under the influence of physical activity and exposure to low temperatures and through different exogenous stimuli by the cleavage of its precursor, fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5). It is mainly known for maintaining of metabolic homeostasis, promoting the browning of white adipose tissue, the thermogenesis process, and glucose homeostasis. Growing experimental evidence suggests the possible central role of irisin in the regulation of cardiometabolic pathophysiological processes. On the other side, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is well recognized as a pleiotropic gasotransmitter that regulates several homeostatic balances and physiological functions and takes part in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. Through the S-persulfidation of cysteine protein residues, H2S is capable of interacting with crucial signaling pathways, exerting beneficial effects in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis as well. H2S and irisin seem to be intertwined; indeed, recently, H2S was found to regulate irisin secretion by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α)/FNDC5/irisin signaling pathway, and they share several mechanisms of action. Their involvement in metabolic diseases is confirmed by the detection of their lower circulating levels in obese and diabetic subjects. Along with the importance of metabolic disorders, these modulators exert favorable effects against cardiovascular diseases, preventing incidents of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review, for the first time, aims to explore the role of H2S and irisin and their possible crosstalk in cardiovascular diseases, pointing out the main effects exerted through the common molecular pathways involved.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters, including nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), are a class of gaseous, endogenous signaling molecules that interact with one another in the regulation of critical cardiovascular, immune, and neurological processes. The development of analytical sensing mechanisms for gasotransmitters, especially multianalyte mechanisms, holds vast importance and constitutes a growing area of study. This review provides an overview of electrochemical sensing mechanisms with an emphasis on opportunities in multianalyte sensing. Electrochemical methods demonstrate good sensitivity, adequate selectivity, and the most well-developed potential for the multianalyte detection of gasotransmitters. Future research will likely address challenges with sensor stability and biocompatibility (i.e., sensor lifetime and cytotoxicity), sensor miniaturization, and multianalyte detection in biological settings.

Abstract
Significance: Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) act as signaling molecules, regulating gene expression, enzyme activity, and physiological responses. However, excessive amounts of these molecular species can lead to deleterious effects, causing cellular damage and death. This dual nature of ROS, RNS, and RSS presents an intriguing conundrum that calls for a new paradigm. Recent Advances: Recent advancements in the study of photosynthesis have offered significant insights at the molecular level and with high temporal resolution into how the photosystem II oxygen-evolving complex manages to prevent harmful ROS production during the water-splitting process. These findings suggest that a dynamic spatiotemporal arrangement of redox reactions, coupled with strict regulation of proton transfer, is crucial for minimizing unnecessary ROS formation. Critical Issues: To better understand the multifaceted nature of these reactive molecular species in biology, it is worth considering a more holistic view that combines ecological and evolutionary perspectives on ROS, RNS, and RSS. By integrating spatiotemporal perspectives into global, cellular, and biochemical events, we discuss local pH or proton availability as a critical determinant associated with the generation and action of ROS, RNS, and RSS in biological systems. Future Directions: The concept of localized proton availability will not only help explain the multifaceted nature of these ubiquitous simple molecules in diverse systems but also provide a basis for new therapeutic strategies to manage and manipulate these reactive species in neural disorders, pathogenic diseases, and antiaging efforts.

Abstract
As an important endogenous gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a critical role in various physiological functions and has been regarded as a biomarker of cancer due to its overexpression in cancer cells. In addition, the early stages of cancer are often accompanied by abnormalities in the intracellular microenvironments, and distinguishing between cancer cell/tissues and normal cell/tissues is of great significance to the accuracy of cancer diagnosis. However, deep insights into the simultaneous detection of H2S and viscosity/polarity variations in cancer cells/tissues are rarely reported. In this work, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probe PDQHS, which exhibits high selectivity for H2S with an emission peak around 632 nm and excellent response (17-fold) to viscosity/polarity beyond 706 nm. Meanwhile, PDQHS shows good biocompatibility and can specifically accumulate into mitochondria. Using PDQHS, the visual distinguishing of cancer cells from normal cells was achieved via dual-channel detection of H2S and viscosity/polarity. More importantly, PDQHS has been successfully applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells and tumor tissue. Obviously, compared to the detection of a single biomarker, monitoring multiple biomarkers simultaneously through dual-channel response is conducive to amplifying the detection signal, providing a more sensitive and reliable imaging tool in the tumor region, which is beneficial for cancer prediction.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and polysulfides (H2Sn, n ≥ 2) produced by enzymes play a role as signalling molecules regulating neurotransmission, vascular tone, cytoprotection, inflammation, oxygen sensing, and energy formation. H2Sn, which have additional sulfur atoms to H2S, and other S-sulfurated molecules such as cysteine persulfide and S-sulfurated cysteine residues of proteins, are produced by enzymes including 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST). H2Sn are also generated by the chemical interaction of H2S with NO, or to a lesser extent with H2O2. S-sulfuration (S-sulfhydration) has been proposed as a mode of action of H2S and H2Sn to regulate the activity of target molecules. Recently, we found that H2S/H2S2 regulate the release of neurotransmitters, such as GABA, glutamate, and D-serine, a co-agonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. H2S facilitates the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation, a synaptic model of memory formation, by enhancing the activity of NMDA receptors, while H2S2 achieves this by activating transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels in astrocytes, potentially leading to the activation of nearby neurons. The recent findings show the other aspects of TRPA1 channels-that is, the regulation of the levels of sulfur-containing molecules and their metabolizing enzymes. Disturbance of the signalling by H2S/H2Sn has been demonstrated to be involved in various diseases, including cognitive and psychiatric diseases. The physiological and pathophysiological roles of these molecules will be discussed.

An injectable and adaptable hydrogen sulfide delivery system for modulating neuroregenerative microenvironment. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2023; 9:eadi1078.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve regeneration is a complex physiological process. Single-function nerve scaffolds often struggle to quickly adapt to the imbalanced regenerative microenvironment, leading to slow nerve regeneration and limited functional recovery. In this study, we demonstrate a "pleiotropic gas transmitter" strategy based on endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), which trigger the on-demand H2S release at the defect area for transected peripheral nerve injury (PNI) repair through concurrent neuroregeneration and neuroprotection processing. This H2S delivery system consists of an H2S donor (peroxyTCM) encapsulated in a ROS-responsive polymer (mPEG-PMet) and loaded into a temperature-sensitive poly (amino acid) hydrogel (mPEG-PA-PP). This multi-effect combination strategy greatly promotes the regeneration of PNI, attributed to the physiological effects of H2S. These effects include the inhibition of inflammation and oxidative stress, protection of nerve cells, promotion of angiogenesis, and the restoration of normal mitochondrial function. The adaptive release of pleiotropic messengers to modulate the tissue regeneration microenvironment offers promising peripheral nerve repair and tissue engineering opportunities.

[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.

Abstract
Understanding biological events associated with H2Sn rather than mediated by H2S is of great significance but remains to be solved due to a lack of high-integrity imaging tools. In this study, we report a chemoselective probe for H2Sn over H2S through the molecular engineering of luminogens. Based on our search for H2Sn-activatable probes with high selectivity, we fabricate water-soluble and biocompatible nanoprobes. Such a designed nanoprobe shows rare aggregation-induced dual-color fluorescence responses to H2Sn, lighting up bright emissions at 588 and 750 nm, respectively. By use of this activatable dual-color fluorescence, high-integrity identification of intracellular H2Sn was successfully realized. Thus, our approach to H2Sn-activated multicolor fluorescent probes could provide valuable insight into interrogating H2Sn-mediated biological events.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and polysulfides (H2Sn, n ≥ 2) are signaling molecules produced by 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST) that play various physiological roles, including the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), a synaptic model of memory formation, by enhancing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activity. However, the presynaptic action of H2S/H2Sn on neurotransmitter release, regulation of LTP induction, and animal behavior are poorly understood. Here, we showed that H2S/H2S2 applied to the rat hippocampus by in vivo microdialysis induces the release of GABA, glutamate, and D-serine, a co-agonist of NMDA receptors. Animals with genetically knocked-out 3MST and the target of H2S2, transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels, revealed that H2S/H2S2, 3MST, and TRPA1 activation play a critical role in LTP induction, and the lack of 3MST causes behavioral hypersensitivity to NMDA receptor antagonism, as in schizophrenia. H2S/H2Sn, 3MST, and TRPA1 channels have therapeutic potential for psychiatric diseases and cognitive deficits.

Abstract
The generations of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) in a binary or ternary model system including lipids, free amino acids and Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were studied. Various factors affecting the formation of DMDS and DMTS indicated that cysteine (Cys) and Cys MRPs could effectively decrease not only the concentrations of methionine (Met), DMDS and DMTS, but also the pH level. Rapid drops in pH limited the formation of DMDS and DMTS during Met thermal degradation. Quantitative analyses of DMDS and DMTS at acidic aqueous solutions revealed that the mixtures of MRPs derived from Cys and xylose (Xyl) had the best inhibition effect on the formation of DMDS and DMTS. The low level of DMDS and DMTS and the increasing level of furfuryl methyl sulfide and 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde during storage indicated that MRPs derived from Cys and Xyl could effectively not only decrease the concertation of DMDS and DMTS, but also promote the development of thiophene and sulfur substituted furan. Thus, this study implied that MRPs derived from Cys/Xyl could be applied as effective substances to control the formation of DMDS and DMTS and improve the production of volatile compounds with meat-like aroma.

Abstract
The mechanism of the metal centered reduction of metmyoglobin (MbFeIII) by sulfide species (H2S/HS-) under an argon atmosphere has been studied by a combination of spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational methods. Asymmetric S-shaped time-traces for the formation of MbFeII at varying ratios of excess sulfide were observed at pH 5.3 < pH < 8.0 and 25 °C, suggesting an autocatalytic reaction mechanism. An increased rate at more alkaline pHs points to HS- as relevant reactive species for the reduction. The formation of the sulfanyl radical (HS•) in the slow initial phase was assessed using the spin-trap phenyl N-tert-butyl nitrone. This radical initiates the formation of S-S reactive species as disulfanuidyl/ disulfanudi-idyl radical anions and disulfide (HSSH•-/HSS•2- and HSS-, respectively). The autocatalysis has been ascribed to HSS-, formed after HSSH•-/HSS•2- disproportionation, which behaves as a fast reductant toward the intermediate complex MbFeIII(HS-). We propose a reaction mechanism for the sulfide-mediated reduction of metmyoglobin where only ferric heme iron initiates the oxidation of sulfide species. Beside the chemical interest, this insight into the MbFeIII/sulfide reaction under an argon atmosphere is relevant for the interpretation of biochemical aspects of ectopic myoglobins found on hypoxic tissues toward reactive sulfur species.

Abstract
Significance: Protein persulfidation (the formation of RSSH), an evolutionarily conserved oxidative posttranslational modification in which thiol groups in cysteine residues are converted into persulfides, has emerged as one of the main mechanisms through which hydrogen sulfide (H2S) conveys its signaling. Recent Advances: New methodological advances in persulfide labeling started unraveling the chemical biology of this modification and its role in (patho)physiology. Some of the key metabolic enzymes are regulated by persulfidation. RSSH levels are important for the cellular defense against oxidative injury, and they decrease with aging, leaving proteins vulnerable to oxidative damage. Persulfidation is dysregulated in many diseases. Critical Issues: A relatively new field of signaling by protein persulfidation still has many unanswered questions: the mechanism(s) of persulfide formation and transpersulfidation and the identification of "protein persulfidases," the improvement of methods to monitor RSSH changes and identify protein targets, and understanding the mechanisms through which this modification controls important (patho)physiological functions. Future Directions: Deep mechanistic studies using more selective and sensitive RSSH labeling techniques will provide high-resolution structural, functional, quantitative, and spatiotemporal information on RSSH dynamics and help with better understanding how H2S-derived protein persulfidation affects protein structure and function in health and disease. This knowledge could pave the way for targeted drug design for a wide variety of pathologies. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 39, 19-39.

Abstract
Outbreaks of emerging viral respiratory infectious diseases (VRIDs) including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) seriously endanger people's health. However, the traditional nucleic acid detection required professionals and larger instruments and antigen-antibody detection suffered a long window period of target generation. To facilitate the VRIDs detection in time for common populations, a smartphone-controlled biosensor, which integrated sample preparation (electromembrane extraction), biomarker detection (red-green-blue model) and remote response technology (a built-in APP), was developed in this work. With the intelligent biosensor, VRIDs could be recognized in the early stage by using endogenous hydrogen sulfide as the biomarker. Importantly, it only took 15 min to accomplish the whole process of screening and response to VRIDs. Moreover, the experimental data showed that this smartphone-controlled biosensor was suitable for ordinary residents and could successfully differentiate non-communicable respiratory diseases from VRIDs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a smartphone-controlled biosensor for screening and response to VRIDs was reported. We believe that the present biosensor will help ordinary residents jointly deal with the challenges brought by COVID-19 or other VRIDs in the future.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria can perform both anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis, a characteristic which ensured that these organisms were crucial in the evolution of the early Earth and the biosphere. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in oxygenic photosynthesis and reactive sulfur species (RSS) produced in anoxygenic photosynthesis are closely related to intracellular redox equilibrium. ROS comprise superoxide anion (O2●-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (●OH). RSS comprise H2S and sulfane sulfur (persulfide, polysulfide, and S8). Although the sensing mechanism for ROS in cyanobacteria has been explored, that of RSS has not been elucidated. Here, we studied the function of the transcriptional repressor PerR in RSS sensing in Synechococcus sp. PCC7002 (PCC7002). PerR was previously reported to sense ROS; however, our results revealed that it also participated in RSS sensing. PerR repressed the expression of prxI and downregulated the tolerance of PCC7002 to polysulfide (H2Sn). The reporter system indicated that PerR sensed H2Sn. Cys121 of the Cys4:Zn2+ site, which contains four cysteines (Cys121, Cys124, Cys160, and Cys163) bound to one zinc atom, could be modified by H2Sn to Cys121-SSH, as a result of which the zinc atom was released from the site. Moreover, Cys19 could also be modified by polysulfide to Cys19-SSH. Thus, our results reveal that PerR, a representative of the Cys4 zinc finger proteins, senses H2Sn. Our findings provide a new perspective to explore the adaptation strategy of cyanobacteria in Proterozoic and contemporary sulfurization oceans.

Abstract
Cancers, chronic diseases and respiratory infections are major causes of mortality and present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for health care. There is an unmet medical need for non-invasive, easy-to-use biomarkers for the early diagnosis, phenotyping, predicting and monitoring of the therapeutic responses of these disorders. Exhaled breath sampling is an attractive choice that has gained attention in recent years. Exhaled nitric oxide measurement used as a predictive biomarker of the response to anti-eosinophil therapy in severe asthma has paved the way for other exhaled breath biomarkers. Advances in laser and nanosensor technologies and spectrometry together with widespread use of algorithms and artificial intelligence have facilitated research on volatile organic compounds and artificial olfaction systems to develop new exhaled biomarkers. We aim to provide an overview of the recent advances in and challenges of exhaled biomarker measurements with an emphasis on the applicability of their measurement as a non-invasive, point-of-care diagnostic and monitoring tool.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a gaseous signalling molecule with crucial implications for cardiovascular health. H2S is involved in many biological functions, including interactions with nitric oxide, activation of molecular signalling cascades, post-translational modifications and redox regulation. Various preclinical and clinical studies have shown that H2S and its synthesizing enzymes - cystathionine γ-lyase, cystathionine β-synthase and 3-mercaptosulfotransferase - can protect against cardiovascular pathologies, including arrhythmias, atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction and ischaemia-reperfusion injury. The bioavailability of H2S and its metabolites, such as hydropersulfides and polysulfides, is substantially reduced in cardiovascular disease and has been associated with single-nucleotide polymorphisms in H2S synthesis enzymes. In this Review, we highlight the role of H2S, its synthesizing enzymes and metabolites, their roles in the cardiovascular system, and their involvement in cardiovascular disease and associated pathologies. We also discuss the latest clinical findings from the field and outline areas for future study.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) entail a diverse family of sulfur derivatives that have emerged as important effector molecules in H2S-mediated biological events. RSS (including H2S) can exert their biological roles via widespread interactions with metalloproteins. Metalloproteins are essential components along the metabolic route of oxygen in the body, from the transport and storage of O2, through cellular respiration, to the maintenance of redox homeostasis by elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, heme peroxidases contribute to immune defense by killing pathogens using oxygen-derived H2O2 as a precursor for stronger oxidants. Coordination and redox reactions with metal centers are primary means of RSS to alter fundamental cellular functions. In addition to RSS-mediated metalloprotein functions, the reduction of high-valent metal centers by RSS results in radical formation and opens the way for subsequent per- and polysulfide formation, which may have implications in cellular protection against oxidative stress and in redox signaling. Furthermore, recent findings pointed out the potential role of RSS as substrates for mitochondrial energy production and their cytoprotective capacity, with the involvement of metalloproteins. The current review summarizes the interactions of RSS with protein metal centers and their biological implications with special emphasis on mechanistic aspects, sulfide-mediated signaling, and pathophysiological consequences. A deeper understanding of the biological actions of reactive sulfur species on a molecular level is primordial in H2S-related drug development and the advancement of redox medicine.

Abstract
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques with hemorrhage considerably contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Calcification is the main characteristic of advanced atherosclerotic lesions and calcified aortic valve disease (CAVD). Lyses of red blood cells and hemoglobin (Hb) release occur in human hemorrhagic complicated lesions. During the interaction of cell-free Hb with plaque constituents, Hb is oxidized to ferric and ferryl states accompanied by oxidative changes of the globin moieties and heme release. Accumulation of both ferryl-Hb and metHb has been observed in atherosclerotic plaques. The oxidation hotspots in the globin chain are the cysteine and tyrosine amino acids associated with the generation of Hb dimers, tetramers and polymers. Moreover, fragmentation of Hb occurs leading to the formation of globin-derived peptides. A series of these pro-atherogenic cellular responses can be suppressed by hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Since H2S has been explored to exhibit a wide range of physiologic functions to maintain vascular homeostasis, it is not surprising that H2S may play beneficial effects in the progression of atherosclerosis. In the present review, we summarize the findings about the effects of H2S on atherosclerosis and CAVD with a special emphasis on the oxidation of Hb/heme in atherosclerotic plaque development and vascular calcification.

Abstract
Identifying children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and ensuring they receive appropriate treatment can prevent CVD events and mortality later in life. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous signaling molecule participating in CVD and CKD. Thiosulfate is not only an oxidation product of H2S but is also a H2S donor. We examined whether H2S, thiosulfate, and their combined ratio have differential associations with CVD risk markers in 56 children and adolescents aged 6–18 years with CKD stages G1–G4. Up to two-thirds of CKD children showed higher BP load on 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), even in the early stage. CKD children with ABPM abnormalities had a higher H2S-to-thiosulfate ratio, while H2S-related parameters were not affected by the severity of CKD. The H2S-to-thiosulfate ratio was positively correlated with 24 h systolic BP (SBP), nighttime SBP, and carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT). After adjusting for confounders, H2S was negatively associated with LV mass, thiosulfate was positively associated with 24-DBP, and the H2S-to-thiosulfate ratio was positively correlated with nighttime SBP and cIMT. Our data demonstrate differential associations in circulating H2S, thiosulfate, and their combined ratio with CVD risk in childhood CKD. Further studies are required to determine whether targeting the H2S signaling pathway can develop novel therapeutic strategies against CVD in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn), derived from hydrogen sulfide (H2S), has attracted increasing attention, which is suggested to be the actual signal molecule instead of H2S in physiological and pathological processes. Reversible detection of H2Sn through a NIR-excitable fluorescence probe is an effective means to understand its functions but is quite challenging. Herein, we reported a NIR-excitable ratiometric nanoprobe for the reversible detection of H2Sn based on luminescence resonance energy transfer principle with upconversion nanoparticles as the energy donor and an organic molecule, SiR1, as the energy acceptor and reversible recognition unit of H2Sn. The as-prepared nanoprobe exhibited high selectivity and fast response for the reversible detection of H2Sn, which can monitor the formation and consumption of endogenous H2Sn in living cells. Because of the reduced autofluorescence by NIR excitation, it was successfully applied for tracking the fluctuation of H2Sn concentration of mice in physiological and pathological processes including inflammation and liver injury.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) senses and responds to host-derived gasotransmitters NO and CO via heme-containing sensor kinases DosS and DosT and the response regulator DosR. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule in mammals, but its role in Mtb physiology is unclear. We have previously shown that exogenous H2S can modulate expression of genes in the Dos dormancy regulon via an unknown mechanism(s). Here, we test the hypothesis that Mtb senses and responds to H2S via the DosS/T/R system. Using UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy, we show that H2S binds directly to the ferric (Fe3+) heme of DosS (KDapp = 5.30 μM) but not the ferrous (Fe2+) form. No interaction with DosT(Fe2+-O2) was detected. We found that the binding of sulfide can slowly reduce the DosS heme iron to the ferrous form. Steered Molecular Dynamics simulations show that H2S, and not the charged HS- species, can enter the DosS heme pocket. We also show that H2S increases DosS autokinase activity and subsequent phosphorylation of DosR, and H2S-mediated increases in Dos regulon gene expression is lost in Mtb lacking DosS. Finally, we demonstrate that physiological levels of H2S in macrophages can induce DosR regulon genes via DosS. Overall, these data reveal a novel mechanism whereby Mtb senses and responds to a third host gasotransmitter, H2S, via DosS(Fe3+). These findings highlight the remarkable plasticity of DosS and establish a new paradigm for how bacteria can sense multiple gasotransmitters through a single heme sensor kinase.

Abstract
(1) Background: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a widely recognized gasotransmitter, with key roles in physiological and pathological processes. The accurate quantification of H2S and reactive sulfur species (RSS) may hold important implications for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. However, H2S species quantification in biological matrices is still a challenge. Among the sulfide detection methods, monobromobimane (MBB) derivatization coupled with reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is one of the most reported. However, it is characterized by a complex preparation and time-consuming process, which may alter the actual H2S level; moreover, a quantitative validation has still not been described. (2) Methods: We developed and validated an improved analytical protocol for the MBB RP-HPLC method. MBB concentration, temperature and sample handling were optimized, and the calibration method was validated using leave-one-out cross-validation and tested in a clinical setting. (3) Results: The method shows high sensitivity and allows the quantification of H2S species, with a limit of detection of 0.5 µM. Finally, it can be successfully applied in measurements of H2S levels in the serum of patients subjected to inhalation with vapors rich in H2S. (4) Conclusions: These data demonstrate that the proposed method is precise and reliable for measuring H2S species in biological matrices and can be used to provide key insights into the etiopathogenesis of several diseases and sulfur-based treatments.

H2S belongs to the class of molecules known as gasotransmitters, which also includes nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Three enzymes are recognized as endogenous sources of H2S in various cells and tissues: cystathionine g-lyase (CSE), cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST). The current article reviews the regulation of these enzymes as well as the pathways of their enzymatic and non-enzymatic degradation and elimination. The multiple interactions of H2S with other labile endogenous molecules (e.g. NO) and reactive oxygen species are also outlined. The various biological targets and signaling pathways are discussed, with special reference to H2S and oxidative posttranscriptional modification of proteins, the effect of H2S on channels and intracellular second messenger pathways, the regulation of gene transcription and translation and the regulation of cellular bioenergetics and metabolism. The pharmacological and molecular tools currently available to study H2S physiology are also reviewed, including their utility and limitations. In subsequent sections, the role of H2S in the regulation of various physiological and cellular functions is reviewed. The physiological role of H2S in various cell types and organ systems are overviewed. Finally, the role of H2S in the regulation of various organ functions is discussed as well as the characteristic bell-shaped biphasic effects of H2S. In addition, key pathophysiological aspects, debated areas, and future research and translational areas are identified A wide array of significant roles of H2S in the physiological regulation of all organ functions emerges from this review.

Abstract
The lack of reliable approaches for real-time measurement and quantification of polysulfides (H2Sn) in vivo greatly limits the exploration of their potential roles in brain functions. Herein, an electrochemical probe, 4-(5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanamido)-1,2-phenylene bis(2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate) (FP2), was rationally designed and created for determination of H2Sn. The bis-electrophilic groups of FP2 could specifically recognize two -SH groups in H2Sn and trigger the generation of an electroactive pyrocatechol moiety, resulting in a well-defined faradic current signal at ∼0.24 V (vs Ag/AgCl). Meanwhile, bidentate thiols were designed as anchoring sites to greatly improve the assembled stability of FP2 at the Au surface, which efficiently defended the interference of glutathione (GSH) with a current decrease of less than 5.2% even after long-term measurements in 5 mM GSH for 3 h. In addition, a stable inner reference molecule with dithiols, α-lipoic acid ferrocenylamide (FcBT), was synthesized to construct a ratiometric electrochemical strategy for in vivo determination of H2Sn through one-step coassembling with FP2 via double S-Au bonds. The present ratiometric strategy demonstrated high selectivity for real-time tracking of H2Sn in a linear range of 0.25-20 μM. Eventually, the developed microelectrode with high selectivity, accuracy, and stability was employed for in vivo assaying of H2Sn in mouse brains with ischemia.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common complications of diabetes, and diabetic cardiomyopathy is a major cause of people death in diabetes. Molecular, transcriptional, animal, and clinical studies have discovered numerous therapeutic targets or drugs for diabetic cardiomyopathy. Within this, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter alongside with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), is found to play a critical role in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recently, the protective roles of H2S in diabetic cardiomyopathy have attracted enormous attention. In addition, H2S donors confer favorable effects in myocardial infarction, ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and heart failure under diabetic conditions. Further studies have disclosed that multiplex molecular mechanisms are responsible for the protective effects of H2S against diabetes-elicited cardiac injury, such as anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-necrotic properties. In this review, we will summarize the current findings on H2S biology and pharmacology, especially focusing on the novel mechanisms of H2S-based protection against diabetic cardiomyopathy. Also, the potential roles of H2S in diabetes-aggravated ischaemia-reperfusion injury are discussed.

Plasma Hydrogen Sulfide Is Positively Associated With Post-operative Survival in Patients Undergoing Surgical Revascularization. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:750926.

Abstract
Objective: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous signaling molecule and redox factor important for cardiovascular function. Deficiencies in its production or bioavailability are implicated in atherosclerotic disease. However, it is unknown if circulating H2S levels differ between vasculopaths and healthy individuals, and if so, whether H2S measurements can be used to predict surgical outcomes. Here, we examined: (1) Plasma H2S levels in patients undergoing vascular surgery and compared these to healthy controls, and (2) the association between H2S levels and mortality in a cohort of patients undergoing surgical revascularization. Methods: One hundred and fifteen patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, open lower extremity revascularization or lower leg amputation were enrolled at a single institution. Peripheral blood was also collected from a matched control cohort of 20 patients without peripheral or coronary artery disease. Plasma H2S production capacity and sulfide concentration were measured using the lead acetate and monobromobimane methods, respectively. Results: Plasma H2S production capacity and plasma sulfide concentrations were reduced in patients with PAD (p < 0.001, p = 0.013, respectively). Patients that underwent surgical revascularization were divided into high vs. low H2S production capacity groups by median split. Patients in the low H2S production group had increased probability of mortality (p = 0.003). This association was robust to correction for potentially confounding variables using Cox proportional hazard models. Conclusion: Circulating H2S levels were lower in patients with atherosclerotic disease. Patients undergoing surgical revascularization with lower H2S production capacity, but not sulfide concentrations, had increased probability of mortality within 36 months post-surgery. This work provides insight on the role H2S plays as a diagnostic and potential therapeutic for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Sulfides and persulfides/polysulfides (R-Sn-R', n > 2; R-Sn-H, n > 1) are endogenously produced metabolites that are abundant in mammalian and human cells and tissues. The most typical persulfides that are widely distributed among different organisms include various reactive persulfides-low-molecular-weight thiol compounds such as cysteine hydropersulfide, glutathione hydropersulfide, and glutathione trisulfide as well as protein-bound thiols. These species are generally more redox-active than are other simple thiols and disulfides. Although hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been suggested for years to be a small signaling molecule, it is intimately linked biochemically to persulfides and may actually be more relevant as a marker of functionally active persulfides. Reactive persulfides can act as powerful antioxidants and redox signaling species and are involved in energy metabolism. Recent evidence revealed that cysteinyl-tRNA synthetases (CARSs) act as the principal cysteine persulfide synthases in mammals and contribute significantly to endogenous persulfide/polysulfide production, in addition to being associated with a battery of enzymes including cystathionine β-synthase, cystathionine γ-lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, which have been described as H2S-producing enzymes. The reactive sulfur metabolites including persulfides/polysulfides derived from CARS2, a mitochondrial isoform of CARS, also mediate not only mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetics but also anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions. The physiological roles of persulfides, their biosynthetic pathways, and their pathophysiology in various diseases are not fully understood, however. Developing basic and high precision techniques and methods for the detection, characterization, and quantitation of sulfides and persulfides is therefore of great importance so as to thoroughly understand and clarify the exact functions and roles of these species in cells and in vivo.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide and its oxidation products are involved in many biological processes, and sulfane sulfur compounds, which contain sulfur atoms bonded to other sulfur atom(s), as found in hydropersulfides (R-S-SH), polysulfides (R-S-Sn-S-R), hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn), etc., have attracted increasing interest. To characterize their physiological and pathophysiological roles, selective detection techniques are required. Classically, sulfane sulfur compounds can be detected by cyanolysis, involving nucleophilic attack by cyanide ion to cleave the sulfur-sulfur bonds. The generated thiocyanate reacts with ferric ion, and the resulting ferric thiocyanate complex can be easily detected by absorption spectroscopy. Recent exploration of the properties of sulfane sulfur compounds as both nucleophiles and electrophiles has led to the development of various chemical techniques for detection, isolation, and bioimaging of sulfane sulfur compounds in biological samples. These include tag-switch techniques, LC-MS/MS, Raman spectroscopy, and fluorescent probes. Herein, we present an overview of the techniques available for specific detection of sulfane sulfur species in biological contexts.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in mammals as a signaling molecule. Recently, abnormal H2S concentration has been associated with several pathophysiological states, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. As regulating H2S concentration can be a very prominent way of developing new drugs, many researchers have paid great attention to H2S research. To understand the role of H2S in pathophysiology and develop H2S-based therapies, it is necessary to measure the exact concentration of H2S within biological systems. But, H2S is volatile and can be easily oxidized. Besides, the active sites for several biological effects of H2S are inside the cell. Therefore, there is a need for the development of new methods for the accurate and reliable detection of H2S within live cells. This review provides a summary of recent developments in H2S detection methods for live cell analysis.

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
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 insistent demand for space-controllable delivery, which reduces the side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), has led to the development of a new theranostics-based approach for anti-inflammatory therapy. The current anti-inflammatory treatments can be improved by designing a drug delivery system responsive to the inflammatory site biomarker, hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn). Here, we report a novel theranostic agent 1 (TA1), consisting of three parts: H2Sn-mediated triggering part, a two-photon fluorophore bearing mitochondria targeting unit (Rhodol-TPP), and anti-inflammatory COX inhibitor (indomethacin). In vitro experiments showed that TA1 selectively reacts with H2Sn to concomitantly release both Rhodol-TPP and indomethacin. Confocal-microscopy imaging of inflammation-induced live cells suggested that TA1 is localized in the mitochondria where the H2Sn is overexpressed. The TA1 reacted with H2Sn in the endogenous and exogenous H2Sn environments and in lipopolysaccharide treated inflammatory cells. Moreover, TA1 suppressed COX-2 level in the inflammatory-induced cells and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level in blood serum from inflammation-induced mouse models. In vivo experiments with inflammation-induced mouse models suggested that TA1 exhibits inflammation-site-elective drug release followed by significant therapeutic effects, showing its function as a theranostic agent, capable of both anti-inflammatory therapy and precise diagnosis. Theranostic behavior of TA1 is highly applicable in vivo model therapeutics for the inflammatory disease.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter and the smallest signaling thiol metabolite with important roles in human health. The turnover of H2S in humans is mainly governed by enzymes of sulfur amino acid metabolism and also by the microbiome. As is the case with other small signaling molecules, disease-promoting effects of H2S largely depend on its concentration and compartmentalization. Genetic defects that impair the biogenesis and catabolism of H2S have been described; however, a gap in knowledge remains concerning physiological steady-state concentrations of H2S and their direct clinical implications. The small size and considerable reactivity of H2S renders its quantification in biological samples an experimental challenge. A compilation of methods currently employed to quantify H2S in biological specimens is provided in this review. Substantial discrepancy exists in the concentrations of H2S determined by different techniques. Available methodologies permit end-point measurement of H2S concentration, yet no definitive protocol exists for the continuous, real-time measurement of H2S produced by its enzymatic sources. We present a summary of available animal models, monogenic diseases that impair H2S metabolism in humans including structure-function relationships of pathogenic mutations, and discuss possible approaches to overcome current limitations of study.

Abstract
Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability around the globe, with a diverse range of health problems. Treatment of respiratory diseases and infections has been verified to be thought-provoking because of the increasing incidence and mortality rate. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of the recognized gaseous transmitters involved in an extensive range of cellular functions, and physiological and pathological processes in a variety of diseases, including respiratory diseases. Recently, the therapeutic potential of H2S for respiratory diseases has been widely investigated. H2S plays a vital therapeutic role in obstructive respiratory disease, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, pancreatic inflammatory/respiratory lung injury, pulmonary inflammation, bronchial asthma and bronchiectasis. Although the therapeutic role of H2S has been extensively studied in various respiratory diseases, a concrete literature review will have an extraordinary impact on future therapeutics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the effective role of H2S in respiratory diseases. Besides, we also summarized H2S production in the lung and its metabolism processes in respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) damage can cause significant injury to cells, which is related to the occurrence and development of many diseases. This pathological process is considered to be the first step to trigger the death of outer retinal neurons, which is related to the pathology of retinal degenerative diseases. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has recently received widespread attention as a physiological signal molecule and gas neuromodulator and plays an important role in regulating OS in eyes. In this article, we reviewed the OS responses and regulatory mechanisms of H2S and its donors as endogenous and exogenous regulators in retinal degenerative diseases. Understanding the relevant mechanisms will help to identify the therapeutic potential of H2S in retinal degenerative diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous, gaseous signaling molecule that plays a critical role in cardiac and vascular biology. H2S regulates vascular tone and oxidant defenses and exerts cytoprotective effects in the heart and circulation. Recent studies indicate that H2S modulates various components of metabolic syndrome, including obesity and glucose metabolism. This review will discuss studies exhibiting H2S -derived cardioprotective signaling in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We will also discuss the role of H2S in metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Abstract
The cardiovascular system can be programmed by a diversity of early-life insults, leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adulthood. This notion is now termed developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD). Emerging evidence indicates hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a crucial regulator of cardiovascular homeostasis, plays a pathogenetic role in CVD of developmental origins. Conversely, early H2S-based interventions have proved beneficial in preventing adult-onset CVD in animal studies via reversing programming processes by so-called reprogramming. The focus of this review will first summarize the current knowledge on H2S implicated in cardiovascular programming. This will be followed by supporting evidence for the links between H2S signaling and underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular programming, such as oxidative stress, nitric oxide deficiency, dysregulated nutrient-sensing signals, activation of the renin–angiotensin system, and gut microbiota dysbiosis. It will also provide an overview from animal models regarding how H2S-based reprogramming interventions, such as precursors of H2S and H2S donors, may prevent CVD of developmental origins. A better understanding of cardiovascular programming and recent advances in H2S-based interventions might provide the answers to bring down the global burden of CVD.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a very important third endogenously generated gaseous signaling molecule and plays a key role in physiological and pathological regulation processes of living biosystems. Although a lot of H2S fluorescent probes have been reported, the relationship between the physiology and pathology of H2S in inflamed tissues remains unclear. Herein, by adopting a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A)-structured naphthalimide derivative as the two-photon (TP) fluorophore and a 4-dinitrobenzene-ether (DNB) with a strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect as the recognition moiety, we reported a novel TP bioimaging probe NP-H2S for H2S with improved sensitivity. The NP-H2S exhibits very low background fluorescence in the absence of H2S, and a significant 258-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement was observed in the presence of H2S, resulting in a high sensitivity and selectivity to H2S in aqueous solutions with a detection limit of 18.8 nM observed. The probe also shows a wide linear response concentration range (0-10.0 μM) to H2S with high selectivity. All these features are favorable for direct monitoring of H2S in complex biological samples. It was then applied for direct TP imaging of H2S in tissues of inflammation model with satisfactory sensitivity, indicating it has the latent capability in further biological applications for investigation of the interaction H2S with inflammation.

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
A fluorescent probe (4-(2-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-4-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-yl)phenyl 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate, KF-DNBS) for facile detection of H2S in serum was developed based on the combination of an environment-sensitive fluorophore (2-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-7-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methylthieno[3,2-b]pyridin-5(4H)-one, KF) with albumin and the 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonyl (DNBS) group as a recognition unit for H2S. KF-DNBS showed remarkable fluorescence enhancement due to H2S-triggered thiolysis followed by the formation of a fluorescent fluorophore (KF)-albumin complex. The H2S detection limit of KF-DNBS was estimated to be 3.2 μM, and KF-DNBS achieves a high selectivity to H2S over biothiols by employing 2-formyl benzene boronic acid (2-FBBA) as an effective masking reagent. Furthermore, under optimized sensing conditions, KF-DNBS could be applied to accurately determine spiked H2S in human serum without the need for any further procedure for the removal of serum proteins.
