Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule that belongs to the group of gasotransmitters along with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). H2S plays a pivotal role in male reproductive processes. It is produced in various tissues and cells of the male reproductive system, including testicular tissue, Leydig and Sertoli cells, epididymis, seminal plasma, prostate, penile tissues, and sperm cells. This review aims to summarize the knowledge about the presence and effects of H2S in male reproductive tissues and outline possible therapeutic strategies in pathological conditions related to male fertility, e. g. spermatogenetic disorders and erectile dysfunction (ED). For instance, H2S supports spermatogenesis by maintaining the integrity of the blood-testicular barrier (BTB), stimulating testosterone production, and providing cytoprotective effects. In spermatozoa, H2S modulates sperm motility, promotes sperm maturation, capacitation, and acrosome reaction, and has significant cytoprotective effects. Given its vasorelaxant effects, it supports the erection of penile tissue. These findings suggest the importance and therapeutic potential of H2S in male reproduction, paving the way for further research and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
A comparative bioinspired reactivity study of new binuclear Zn(II) complexes featuring coordinated thiolate, selenolate, trisulfide and diselenide in relation with (i) the generation of reactive sulfur/selenium species (RSS/RSeS), (ii) the oxygen dependent oxidation and disproportionation of polysulfide (Sn2-) to produce sulfite (SO32-), thiosulfate (S2O32-) and sulfide (S2-) by sulfur oxygenase reductase (SOR), and (iii) the reaction of Sn2- with nitrite (NO2-) to generate thionitrite (SNO-), perthionitrite (SSNO-) and nitric oxide (NO), is presented. The binuclear Zn(II)-thiolate/selenolate complexes could react with elemental sulfur to generate RSS/RSeS while similar reactions involving elemental selenium could not generate RSeS. The dizinc(II)-S3 and the dizinc(II)-Se2 complexes could react with dioxygen (O2) to generate binuclear Zn(II) complexes featuring coordinated thiosulfate (S2O32-) and selenite (SeO32-), respectively. Finally, unlike the nonreactive nature of the dizinc(II)-Se2 complex toward NO2-, reaction of the dizinc(II)-S3 complex with NO2- produced a new binuclear Zn(II) complex featuring a coordinated dithiosulfite (S3O2-) along with the formation of perthionitrite (SSNO-), of which the latter subsequently produced nitric oxide (NO) and S42-. The present work, thus, demonstrates the comparative reactivity of a series of binuclear Zn(II)-chalcogenolato/-polychalcogenido complexes for the generation of S2O32-, SeO32-, S3O2-, SSNO-, NO and RSS/RSeS.

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
Cellular circadian rhythms confer temporal organisation upon physiology that is fundamental to human health. Rhythms are present in red blood cells (RBCs), the most abundant cell type in the body, but their physiological function is poorly understood. Here, we present a novel biochemical assay for haemoglobin (Hb) oxidation status which relies on a redox-sensitive covalent haem-Hb linkage that forms during SDS-mediated cell lysis. Formation of this linkage is lowest when ferrous Hb is oxidised, in the form of ferric metHb. Daily haemoglobin oxidation rhythms are observed in mouse and human RBCs cultured in vitro, or taken from humans in vivo, and are unaffected by mutations that affect circadian rhythms in nucleated cells. These rhythms correlate with daily rhythms in core body temperature, with temperature lowest when metHb levels are highest. Raising metHb levels with dietary sodium nitrite can further decrease daytime core body temperature in mice via nitric oxide (NO) signalling. These results extend our molecular understanding of RBC circadian rhythms and suggest they contribute to the regulation of body temperature.

Abstract
The voltage-gated K+ channel plays a key role in atrial excitability, conducting the ultra-rapid rectifier K+ current (IKur) and contributing to the repolarization of the atrial action potential. In this study, we examine its regulation by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in HL-1 cardiomyocytes and in HEK293 cells expressing human Kv1.5. Pacing induced remodeling resulted in shorting action potential duration, enhanced both Kv1.5 channel and H2S producing enzymes protein expression in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. H2S supplementation reduced these remodeling changes and restored action potential duration through inhibition of Kv1.5 channel. H2S also inhibited recombinant hKv1.5, lead to nitric oxide (NO) mediated S-nitrosylation and activated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) by increased phosphorylation of Ser1177, prevention of NO formation precluded these effects. Regulation of Ikur by H2S has important cardiovascular implications and represents a novel and potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Reduction of nitrate is an essential, yet challenging chemical task required to manage this relatively inert oxoanion in the environment and biology. We show that thiols, ubiquitous reductants in biology, convert nitrate to nitric oxide at a Cu(II) center under mild conditions. The β-diketiminato complex [Cl2NNF6]Cu(κ2-O2NO) engages in O-atom transfer with various thiols (RSH) to form the corresponding copper(II) nitrite [CuII](κ2-O2N) and sulfenic acid (RSOH). The copper(II) nitrite further reacts with RSH to give S-nitrosothiols RSNO and [CuII]2(μ-OH)2 en route to NO formation via [CuII]-SR intermediates. The gasotransmitter H2S also reduces nitrate at copper(II) to generate NO, providing a lens into NO3-/H2S crosstalk. The interaction of thiols with nitrate at copper(II) releases a cascade of N- and S-based signaling molecules in biology.

Abstract
Redox signaling molecules include a number of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS). These molecules work collectively in the regulation of many physiological processes. Understanding the crosstalk mechanisms in these signaling molecules is important but challenging. The development of donor compounds of ROS/RNS/RSS will aid the advances in this field. While many donors that can release one ROS/RNS/RSS have been developed, dual donors that can release two signaling species and facilitate their crosstalk studies are still very rare. Those limited examples lack the ability to precisely control the timing of two releases. In this work, a 2-methoxy-6-naphthacyl-derived tertiary SNO compound, Naph-SNO, was designed and evaluated as the dual donor for NO and H2S2. The 2-methoxy-6-naphthacyl structure was demonstrated to be a novel photoremovable protecting group that could directly uncage C-S bonds. Under the irradiation of lights with different wavelengths (visible or UV), Naph-SNO could release NO and H2S2 in a stepwise manner, or simultaneously (i.e., likely producing the crosstalk product HSNO/HSSNO). In addition, the release of payloads from the donor also produced an end product with blue fluorescence. Therefore, the release process could be easily monitored in "real time." This controllable photo-triggered release strategy has the potential to be used in the design of other RNS/RSS dual donors.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and the enzyme that synthesizes it, nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), have emerged as key players in inflammation and cancer. Expression of NOS2 in tumors has been correlated both with positive outcomes and with poor prognoses. The chemistry of NO is the major determinate to the biological outcome and the concentration of NO, which can range over five orders of magnitude, is critical in determining which pathways are activated. It is the activation of specific oncogenic and immunological mechanisms that shape the outcome. The kinetics of specific reactions determine the mechanisms of action. In this review, the relevant reactions of NO and related species are discussed with respect to these oncogenic and immunological signals.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) play critical roles in diverse chemical environments. Molecules containing sulfane sulfur (S0) have emerged as key species involved in cellular redox buffering as well as RSS generation, translocation, and action. Using cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) as a model hydrophobic host, we demonstrate here that S8 can be encapsulated to form a 1:1 host guest complex, which was confirmed by solution state experiments, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. The solid state structure of CB[7]/S8 shows that the encapsulated S8 is available to nucleophiles through the carbonyl portals of the host. Treatment of CB[7]/S8 with thiols results in efficient reduction of S8 to H2S in water at physiological pH. We establish that encapsulated S8 is attacked by a thiol within the CB[7] host and that the resultant soluble hydropolysulfide is ejected into solution, where it reacts further with thiols to generate soluble sulfane sulfur carriers and ultimately H2S. The formation of these intermediate is supported by observed kinetic saturation behavior, competitive inhibition experiments, and alkylative trapping experiments. We also demonstrate that CB[7]/S8 can be used to increase sulfane sulfur levels in live cells using fluorescence microscopy. More broadly, this work suggests a general activation mechanism of S8 by hydrophobic motifs, which may be applicable to proteins, membranes, or other bimolecular compartments that could transiently bind and solubilize S8 to promote reaction with thiols to solubilize and shuttle S8 back into the redox labile sulfane sulfur pool. Such a mechanism would provide an attractive manifold in which to understand the RSS translocation and trafficking.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-surgical treatment that has been approved for its human medical use in many cancers. PDT involves the interaction of a photosensitizer (PS) with light. The amino acid 5- aminolevulinic acid (ALA) can be used as a pro-PS, leading to the synthesis of Protoporphyrin IX. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced gas that belongs to the gasotransmitter family, which can diffuse through biological membranes and have relevant physiological effects such as cardiovascular functions, vasodilatation, inflammation, cell cycle and neuro-modulation. It was also proposed to have cytoprotective effects. We aimed to study the modulatory effects of H2S on ALAPDT in the mammary adenocarcinoma cell line LM2. Exposure of the cells to NaHS (donor of H2S) in concentrations up to 10 mM impaired the response to ALA-PDT in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of 3 doses of NaHS showed the highest effect. This decreased response to the photodynamic treatment was correlated to an increase in the GSH levels, catalase activity, a dose dependent reduction of PpIX and increased intracellular ALA, decreased levels of oxidized proteins and a decrease of PDT-induced ROS. NaHS also reduced the levels of singlet oxygen in an in vitro assay. H2S also protected other cells of different origins against PDT mediated by ALA and other PSs. These results suggest that H2S has a role in the modulation of the redox state of the cells, and thus impairs the response to ALA-PDT through multifactor pathways. These findings could contribute to developing new strategies to improve the effectiveness of PDT particularly mediated by ALA or other ROS-related treatments.

Abstract
Various recent studies dedicated to the role of nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in somatic cells provide evidence for an interaction of the two gasotransmitters. In the case of male gametes, only the action of a single donor of each gasotransmitter has been investigated up until today. It has been demonstrated that, at low concentrations, both gasotransmitters alone exert a positive effect on sperm quality parameters. Moreover, the activity of gaseous cellular messengers may be affected by the presence of oxidative stress, an underlying condition of several male reproductive disorders. In this study, we explored the effect of the combination of two donors SNP and NaHS (NO and H2S donors, respectively) on boar spermatozoa under oxidative stress. We applied NaHS, SNP, and their combination (DD) at 100 nM concentration in boar spermatozoa samples treated with Fe2+/ascorbate system. After 90 min of incubation at 38 °C, we have observed that progressive motility (PMot) and plasma membrane integrity (PMI) were improved (p < 0.05) in DD treatment compared to the Ctr sample under oxidative stress (CtrOX). Moreover, the PMot of DD treatment was higher (p < 0.05) than that of NaHS. Similar to NaHS, SNP treatment did not overcome the PMot and PMI of CtrOX. In conclusion, for the first time, we provide evidence that the combination of SNP and NaHS surmounts the effect of single-donor application in terms of PMot and PMI in porcine spermatozoa under oxidative stress.

Abstract
The ability to detect oxygen availability is a ubiquitous attribute of aerobic organisms. However, the mechanism(s) that transduce oxygen concentration or availability into appropriate physiological responses is less clear and often controversial. This review will make the case for oxygen-dependent metabolism of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and polysulfides, collectively referred to as reactive sulfur species (RSS) as a physiologically relevant O2 sensing mechanism. This hypothesis is based on observations that H2S and RSS metabolism is inversely correlated with O2 tension, exogenous H2S elicits physiological responses identical to those produced by hypoxia, factors that affect H2S production or catabolism also affect tissue responses to hypoxia, and that RSS efficiently regulate downstream effectors of the hypoxic response in a manner consistent with a decrease in O2. H2S-mediated O2 sensing is then compared to the more generally accepted reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated O2 sensing mechanism and a number of reasons are offered to resolve some of the confusion between the two.

Abstract
NO and H2 S serve as signaling molecules in biology with intertwined reactivity. HSNO and HSSNO with their conjugate bases - SNO and - SSNO form in the reaction of H2 S with NO as well as S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) and nitrite (NO2- ) that serve as NO reservoirs. While HSNO and HSSNO are elusive, their conjugate bases form isolable zinc complexes Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) supported by tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands. Reaction of Na(15-C-5)SSNO with Ph,Me TpZn(ClO4 ) provides Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) that undergoes S-atom removal by PEt3 to give Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and S=PEt3 . Unexpectedly stable at room temperature, these Zn-SNO and Zn-SSNO complexes release NO upon heating. Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) quickly react with acidic thiols such as C6 F5 SH to form N2 O and NO, respectively. Increasing the thiol basicity in p-substituted aromatic thiols 4-X ArSH in the reaction with Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) turns on competing S-nitrosation to form Ph,Me TpZn-SH and RSNO, the latter a known precursor for NO.

Abstract
Diaminofluoresceins (DAFs) are fluorescent probes widely applied to measure nitric oxide (NO) formation in cells and tissues. The main advantages of these compounds are their availability and low cost, and the general availability of instruments able to detect green fluorescence in all laboratories; these include fluorimeters, flow cytometers, and fluorescent microscopes. What made these molecules particularly interesting for many scientists approaching the NO field is that they are apparently very easy to use, as compared with other techniques requiring specific instrumentation and knowledge like chemiluminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance. However, the reactivity and biological chemistry of these probes in the cellular environment is rather complex and still not fully understood. Moreover, secondary reactions with ascorbate, or interference with thiols occur in cells. Therefore, the use of DAFs requires specific experimental planning and a careful interpretation of the results obtained. In this methodological review, we described in detail what is known about the reactivity of DAFs, their application in biological assays, list some principles to help experimental planning, including the necessary controls, and list the caveats concerning result interpretation. These guiding principles will help to understand the "Method behind our DAF-madness".

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
The mammalian brain is highly vulnerable to oxygen deprivation, yet the mechanism underlying the brain's sensitivity to hypoxia is incompletely understood. Hypoxia induces accumulation of hydrogen sulfide, a gas that inhibits mitochondrial respiration. Here, we show that, in mice, rats, and naturally hypoxia-tolerant ground squirrels, the sensitivity of the brain to hypoxia is inversely related to the levels of sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR) and the capacity to catabolize sulfide. Silencing SQOR increased the sensitivity of the brain to hypoxia, whereas neuron-specific SQOR expression prevented hypoxia-induced sulfide accumulation, bioenergetic failure, and ischemic brain injury. Excluding SQOR from mitochondria increased sensitivity to hypoxia not only in the brain but also in heart and liver. Pharmacological scavenging of sulfide maintained mitochondrial respiration in hypoxic neurons and made mice resistant to hypoxia. These results illuminate the critical role of sulfide catabolism in energy homeostasis during hypoxia and identify a therapeutic target for ischemic brain injury.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an essential gaseous signaling molecule. Research on its role in physiological and pathophysiological processes has greatly expanded. Endogenous enzymatic production through the transsulfuration and cysteine catabolism pathways can occur in the kidneys and blood vessels. Furthermore, non-enzymatic pathways are present throughout the body. In the renal and cardiovascular system, H2S plays an important role in maintaining the redox status at safe levels by promoting scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). H2S also modifies cysteine residues on key signaling molecules such as keap1/Nrf2, NFκB, and HIF-1α, thereby promoting anti-oxidant mechanisms. Depletion of H2S is implicated in many age-related and cardiorenal diseases, all having oxidative stress as a major contributor. Current research suggests potential for H2S-based therapies, however, therapeutic interventions have been limited to studies in animal models. Beyond H2S use as direct treatment, it could improve procedures such as transplantation, stem cell therapy, and the safety and efficacy of drugs including NSAIDs and ACE inhibitors. All in all, H2S is a prime subject for further research with potential for clinical use.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide despite major advances in technology and treatment, with coronary heart disease (CHD) being a key contributor. Following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), it is imperative that blood flow is rapidly restored to the ischaemic myocardium. However, this restoration is associated with an increased risk of additional complications and further cardiomyocyte death, termed myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in protecting the myocardium from IRI. It is well established that NO mediates many of its downstream functions through the 'canonical' NO-sGC-cGMP pathway, which is vital for cardiovascular homeostasis; however, this pathway can become impaired in the face of inadequate delivery of necessary substrates, in particular L-arginine, oxygen and reducing equivalents. Recently, it has been shown that during conditions of ischaemia an alternative pathway for NO generation exists, which has become known as the 'nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway'. This pathway has been reported to improve endothelial dysfunction, protect against myocardial IRI and attenuate infarct size in various experimental models. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that nitrite itself provides multi-faceted protection, in an NO-independent fashion, against a myriad of pathophysiologies attributed to IRI. In this review, we explore the existing pre-clinical and clinical evidence for the role of nitrate and nitrite in cardioprotection and discuss the lessons learnt from the clinical trials for nitrite as a perconditioning agent. We also discuss the potential future for nitrite as a pre-conditioning intervention in man.

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
Significance: Calcium ion (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) are activated by phosphorylation of a crucial threonine residue either by itself (CaMKII) or by upstream kinases, CaMK kinases (CaMKKs) (CaMKI and CaMKIV). CaMKs, present in most mammalian tissues, can phosphorylate many downstream targets, thereby regulating numerous cellular functions. Recent Advances: Aside from canonical post-translational modifications, cysteine-based redox switches in CaMKs affect their enzyme activities. In addition to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), reactive sulfur species (RSS) are also recognized as key signaling molecules, regulating protein function through polysulfidation, formation of polysulfides [-S-(S)n-H] on their reactive cysteine residues. To comprehend the biological significance of RSS signaling-related CaMK regulation, here we introduce a novel concept defining CaMKs as RSS targets in stress responses. The stress responses include an irreversible electrophile attack for CaMKI, inflammation for CaMKII, and endoplasmic reticulum stress for CaMKIV. Critical Issues: Development of various human diseases is associated with increased ROS, RNS, and RSS generation. Therefore, depending on specific pathophysiology, RSS could have very particular effects on CaMK functions. Future Directions: How multiple sources and mutual reactions of ROS, RNS, and RSS are coordinated is obscure. Elucidating the mechanisms through applications of enzymology, chemical biology, and mass spectrometry enables to uncover the complexities of redox regulation of CaMK cascades.

Abstract
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the biochemical properties of nitrosopersulfide (SSNO-), a key intermediate of the nitric oxide (NO)/sulfide cross talk. Results: We obtained corroborating evidence that SSNO- is indeed a major product of the reaction of S-nitrosothiols with hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It was found to be relatively stable (t1/2 ∼1 h at room temperature) in aqueous solution of physiological pH, stabilized by the presence of excess sulfide and resistant toward reduction by other thiols. Furthermore, we here show that SSNO- escapes the reducing power of the NADPH-driven biological reducing machineries, the thioredoxin and glutathione reductase systems. The slow decomposition of SSNO- produces inorganic polysulfide species, which effectively induce per/polysulfidation on glutathione or protein cysteine (Cys) residues. Our data also demonstrate that, in contrast to the transient activation by inorganic polysulfides, SSNO- induces long-term potentiation of TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1) channels, which may be due to its propensity to generate a slow flux of polysulfide in situ. Innovation: The characterized properties of SSNO- would seem to represent unique features in cell signaling by enabling sulfur and nitrogen trafficking within the reducing environment of the cytosol, with targeted release of both NO and polysulfide equivalents. Conclusion: SSNO- is a surprisingly stable bioactive product of the chemical interaction of S-nitrosothiol species and H2S that is resistant to reduction by the thioredoxin and glutathione systems. As well as generating NO, it releases inorganic polysulfides, enabling transfer of sulfane sulfur species to peptide/protein Cys residues. The sustained activation of TRPA1 channels by SSNO- is most likely linked to all these properties.

Abstract
Significance: Sulfide was revealed to be an endogenous signaling molecule regulating a plethora of cellular functions. It is involved in the regulation of fundamental processes, including blood pressure regulation, suspended animation, and metabolic activity of mitochondria, pain, and inflammation. The underlying biochemical pathways and pharmacological targets are still largely unidentified. Recent Advances: Red blood cells (RBCs) are known as oxygen transporters and were proposed to contribute to cardiovascular homeostasis by regulating nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, also via interaction of hemoglobin with nitrite and NO itself. Interestingly, recent evidence indicates that RBCs may also play a central role in systemic sulfide metabolism and homeostasis, and, potentially, in the crosstalk with NO. Heme-containing proteins such as hemoglobin were shown to be targeted by both NO and sulfide. In this article, we aim at revising and discussing the potential impact of RBCs on systemic sulfide metabolism in the cardiovascular system. Critical Issues: Although the synthetic pathways and the reactivity of hemoglobin and other heme proteins with sulfide and NO are known, the in vivo role of RBCs in sulfide metabolism, physiology, pharmacology, and its pathophysiological implications have not been characterized so far. Future Directions: To allow a better understanding of the role of RBCs in systemic sulfide metabolism and its cross-talk with NO, basic and translational science studies should be focused on dissecting the enzymatic and nonenzymatic sulfur metabolic pathways in RBCs in vivo and their impact on the cardiovascular system in animal models and clinical settings.

Abstract
A naturally fluorescent cyanobacterial protein C-phycoerythrin (CPE) was investigated as a fluorescent probe for biologically and environmentally important hydrosulphide (HS-) ion. It was selective for HS amongst a large anion screen and the optical response was rapid. Sequential UV-visible titration showed considerable peak shift and attenuation with increasing [HS-] while fluorescence titration proved that HS- quenched CPE fluorescence in a concentration dependent manner. The linear response range was 0-2 mM HS- while the Stern Volmer curve was non-linear and the limit of detection was 185.12 μM. Except bicarbonate and glycine, no anion or biomolecule interfered with the detection even at 10 times the concentration of HS-. It was also free of influences from other sulphur forms like sulphite, sulphate and thiosulphate. CPE reliably detected HS- in freshwater and effluent samples, though some under- and over - estimation was evident. The % recovery ranged from ~96 to 105% (RSD ~ 0.035-0.188%). FTIR analysis showed significant changes in the amide I and II regions of CPE, along with minor modifications in the amide III region as well, showing that HS- was able to influence the protein secondary structure at higher concentrations.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-derived species play essential roles in regulating cellular responses. Among these species, S-nitrosothiols (including RSNO and HSNO) and nitroxyl (HNO) are especially interesting. Owing to their high reactivity and short survival time, the detection of these molecules in biological settings can be challenging. In this regard, much effort has been invested in exploring novel reactions of RSNO/HSNO/HNO and applying these reactions to develop fluorescence probes. Herein, reported specific reactions of RSNO/HSNO/HNO are summarized and strategies used in the design of fluorescent probes are illustrated. The properties and potential problems of representative probes are also discussed.

Long-lasting blood pressure lowering effects of nitrite are NO-independent and mediated by hydrogen peroxide, persulfides, and oxidation of protein kinase G1α redox signalling. Cardiovasc Res 2020; 116:51-62. [PMID: 31372656 PMCID: PMC6918062 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvz202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 07/17/2019] [Accepted: 07/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Under hypoxic conditions, nitrite (NO2-) can be reduced to nitric oxide (NO) eliciting vasorelaxation. However, nitrite also exerts vasorelaxant effects of potential therapeutic relevance under normal physiological conditions via undetermined mechanisms. We, therefore, sought to investigate the mechanism(s) by which nitrite regulates the vascular system in normoxia and, specifically, whether the biological effects are a result of NO generation (as in hypoxia) or mediated via alternative mechanisms involving classical downstream targets of NO [e.g. effects on protein kinase G1α (PKG1α)]. METHODS AND RESULTS Ex vivo myography revealed that, unlike in thoracic aorta (conduit vessels), the vasorelaxant effects of nitrite in mesenteric resistance vessels from wild-type (WT) mice were NO-independent. Oxidants such as H2O2 promote disulfide formation of PKG1α, resulting in NO- cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) independent kinase activation. To explore whether the microvascular effects of nitrite were associated with PKG1α oxidation, we used a Cys42Ser PKG1α knock-in (C42S PKG1α KI; 'redox-dead') mouse that cannot transduce oxidant signals. Resistance vessels from these C42S PKG1α KI mice were markedly less responsive to nitrite-induced vasodilation. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) bolus application of nitrite in conscious WT mice induced a rapid yet transient increase in plasma nitrite and cGMP concentrations followed by prolonged hypotensive effects, as assessed using in vivo telemetry. In the C42S PKG1α KI mice, the blood pressure lowering effects of nitrite were lower compared to WT. Increased H2O2 concentrations were detected in WT resistance vessel tissue challenged with nitrite. Consistent with this, increased cysteine and glutathione persulfide levels were detected in these vessels by mass spectrometry, matching the temporal profile of nitrite's effects on H2O2 and blood pressure. CONCLUSION Under physiological conditions, nitrite induces a delayed and long-lasting blood pressure lowering effect, which is NO-independent and occurs via a new redox mechanism involving H2O2, persulfides, and PKG1α oxidation/activation. Targeting this novel pathway may provide new prospects for anti-hypertensive therapy.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is related to a wide range of physiological processes such as vasodilation, macrophages cytotoxicity and wound healing. The human skin contains NO precursors (NOx). Those are mainly composed of nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), and S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) which forms a large NO store. These NOx stores in human skin can mobilize NO to blood stream upon ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the most effective UV light wavelength to generate NO and compare it to each NO precursor in aqueous solution. In addition, the UV light might change the RSNO content on human skin. First, we irradiated pure aqueous solutions of NO2- and NO3- and mixtures of NO2- and glutathione and NO3- and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) to identify the NO release profile from those species alone. In sequence, we evaluated the NO generation profile on human skin slices. Human skin was acquired from redundant plastic surgical samples and the NO and RSNO measurements were performed using a selective NO electrochemical sensor. The data showed that UV light could trigger the NO generation in skin with a peak at 280-285 nm (UVB range). We also observed a significant RSNO formation in irradiated human skin, with a peak at 320 nm (UV region) and at 700 nm (visible region). Pre-treatment of the human skin slice using NO2- and thiol (RSHs) scavengers confirmed the important role of these molecules in RSNO formation. These findings have important implications for clinical trials with potential for new therapies.

Abstract
The study examined the effect of H2S on the tone of cerebral arteries in rats after global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and cooperation between NO and H2S in the control over cerebral circulation during the postischemic period. In control sham-operated and in experimental rats with ischemia/reperfusion injury, the diameter of pial arteries was repeatedly measured in vivo under a light microscope after removal of parietal bone and dura mater in 1 h and in 7 days after the surgery. The study established that H2S is an important signaling molecule in pial arteries, where it is responsible for vasodilation. Interaction of H2S and NO augmented dilation of pial arteries; in these arteries, H2S up-regulated the effect of NO/cGMP/sGC/PKG signaling pathways. Partially, the dilating effect of H2S is realized via activation of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in plasmalemma of smooth muscle cells. In the brain, ischemia/reperfusion injury degrades the ability of pial arteries to dilate via inhibition of NO-mediated signaling pathway.

Abstract
After being historically considered as noxious agents, nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are now listed as gasotransmitters, gaseous molecules that play a key role in a variety of cellular functions. Both NO and H2S are endogenously produced, enzymatically or non-enzymatically, and interact with each other in a range of cells and tissues. In spite of the great advances achieved in recent decades in other biological systems, knowledge about H2S function and interactions with NO in sperm biology is in its infancy. Here, we aim to provide an update on the importance of these molecules in the physiology of the male gamete. Special emphasis is given to the most recent advances in the metabolism, mechanisms of action, and effects (both physiological and pathophysiological) of these gasotransmitters. This manuscript also illustrates the physiological implications of NO and H2S observed in other cell types, which might be important for sperm function. The relevance of these gasotransmitters to several signaling pathways within sperm cells highlights their potential use for the improvement and successful application of assisted reproductive technologies.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates and largely ineffective therapies. Aspirin is the prototypical anti-cancer agent but its long-term use is associated with significant side effects. NOSH-aspirin belongs to a new class of anti-inflammatory agents that were designed to be safer alternatives by releasing nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide. In this study we evaluated the effects of NOSH-aspirin against pancreatic cancer using cell lines and a xenograft mouse model. NOSH-aspirin inhibited growth of MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells with IC50s of 47 ± 5, and 57 ± 4 nM, respectively, while it did not inhibit growth of a normal pancreatic epithelial cell line at these concentrations. NOSH-aspirin inhibited cell proliferation, caused G0/G1 phase cycle arrest, leading to increased apoptosis. Treated cells displayed increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caspase-3 activity. In MIA PaCa-2 cell xenografts, NOSH-aspirin significantly reduced tumor growth and tumor mass. Growth inhibition was due to reduced proliferation (decreased PCNA expression) and induction of apoptosis (increased TUNEL positive cells). Expressions of ROS, iNOS, and mutated p53 were increased; while that of NF-κB and FoxM1 that were high in vehicle-treated xenografts were significantly inhibited by NOSH-aspirin. Taken together, these molecular events and signaling pathways contribute to NOSH-aspirin mediated growth inhibition and apoptotic death of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The cross-linking reaction between sulfide and S-nitrosothiol moieties has been intensively investigated and thionitrite/thionitrous acid (SNO−/HSNO) as well as nitrosopersulfide (SSNO−) were reported to be the intermediates that could serve as reservoirs for nitric oxide (NO). However, debate still exists regarding the stability and biological activity of SNO−/HSNO and SSNO−. In order to investigate the chemical properties and biological activity of SNO− and SSNO−, we set out to re-characterize the reaction intermediates using UV-Vis and 15N NMR spectroscopy techniques, as well as a new 17O NMR approach. The effects of SNO− and SSNO− on cellular NO and cGMP levels were assessed via cell culture experiments, and also the effects of SNO− and SSNO− on cell proliferation, migration, and capillary-like structure formation were evaluated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Through this work, the characteristic peaks and half-lives of SNO− and SSNO− were elucidated under various preparation conditions. The biological assays demonstrated that SSNO− increased the cellular NO and cGMP levels and also facilitated cell proliferation, migration and stimulated angiogenesis, while in contrast SNO− did not exhibit these effects. By using UV-Vis, 15N NMR and 17O NMR spectroscopy techniques, we characterized the intermediates (SSNO− and SNO−) obtained from RSNO and Na2S cross-linking reaction. We found that SSNO− could serve as NO reservoir in cell culture experiments.![]()

Abstract
Nitric Oxide (NO) and Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) are components of an "interactome", which is defined as a redox system involving the interactions of RSS, RNS and ROS. Chemical interaction by these species is common and is characterized by one and two electron oxidation, nitrosylation, nitration and sulfuration/polysulfidation reactions. NO and H2S are gases that penetrate cell membranes, are synthesized by specific enzymes, are ubiquitous, regulate protein activities through post-translational modifications and participate in cell signaling. The two molecules at high concentrations compared to physiological concentrations may result in cellular damage particularly through their interaction with other reactive species. NO and H2S can interact with each other and form a variety of molecular species which may have constructive or destructive behavior depending on the cell type, the cellular environment (ex. oxygen tension, pH, redox state), where the products are produced and in what concentrations. Cross talk exists between NO and H2S, whereby they can influence the generation and signaling behavior of each other. Given the above mentioned properties of NO and H2S and studies in cancer cells and animal models employing NO and H2S donors that generate higher than physiological concentrations of NO and H2S and are effective in killing cancer cells but not normal cells, lend credence to the possibility of the utility of these donors in an approach to the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Thionitrous acid (HSNO), the smallest S-nitrosothiol, is emerging as a potential key intermediate in cellular redox regulation linking two signaling molecules H2 S and NO. However, the chemical biology of HSNO remains poorly understood. A major hurdle is the lack of methods for selective detection of HSNO in biological systems. Herein, we report the rational design, synthesis, and evaluation of the first fluorescent probe TAP-1 for HSNO detection. TAP-1 showed high selectivity and sensitivity to HSNO in aqueous media and cells, providing a useful tool for understanding the functions of HSNO in biology.

Abstract
Glutathione-based products, GSnX, of the reaction of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, S-nitroso glutathione, and GSNO, at varied stoichiometries have been analyzed by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and chemical trapping experiments. A wide variety of glutathione-based species with catenated sulfur chains have been identified including sulfanes (GSSnG), sulfides (GSSnH), and sulfenic acids (GSnOH); sulfinic (GSnO2H) and sulfonic (GSnO3H) acids are also seen in reactions exposed to air. The presence of each species of GSnX within the original reaction mixtures was confirmed using Single Ion Chromatograms (SICs), to demonstrate the separation on the LC column, and given approximate quantification by the peak area of the SIC. Further, confirmation for different GSnX families was obtained by trapping with species-specific reagents. Several unique GSnX families have been characterized, including bridging mixed di- and tetra-valent polysulfanes and internal trithionitrates (GSNHSnH) with polysulfane branches. Competitive trapping experiments suggest that the polysulfane chains are formed via the intermediacy of sulfenic acid species, GSSnOH. In the presence of radical trap vinylcyclopropane (VCP) the relative distributions of polysulfane speciation are relatively unaffected, suggesting that radical coupling is not a dominant pathway. Therefore, we suggest polysulfane catenation occurs via reaction of sulfides with sulfenic acids.

Abstract
Discovery of the production of gaseous molecules, such as nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, within the human body began a new concept in cellular signaling. Over the past 30 years, these molecules have been investigated and found to have extremely important beneficial effects in numerous chronic diseases. Gaseous signaling molecules that diffuse in three dimensions apparently contradict the selectivity and specificity afforded by normal ligand receptor binding and activation. This new concept has also created hurdles in the development of safe and efficacious drug therapy based on these molecules. Mechanisms involving formation of more stable intermediates and second messengers allow for new strategies for safe and effective delivery of these molecules for human disease. The purpose of this review is to highlight the biologic effects of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, their seemingly indistinguishable effects, and how these molecules can be safely harnessed for drug development and precursors or substrates administered for human consumption through applied physiology.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease is an atherosclerotic disease of arterial vessels that mostly affects arteries of lower extremities. Effort induced cycles of ischemia and reperfusion lead to increased reactive oxygen species production by mitochondria. Therefore, the pathophysiology of peripheral artery disease is a consequence of metabolic myopathy, and oxidative stress is the putative major operating mechanism behind the structural and metabolic changes that occur in muscle. In this review, we discuss the evidence for oxidative damage in peripheral artery disease and discuss management strategies related to antioxidant supplementation. We also highlight the major pathways governing oxidative stress in the disease and discuss their implications in disease progression. Potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic methods related to these mechanisms are explored, with an emphasis on the Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
Signaling and physiological activities of the crystalline tetranitrosyl iron complex with thiosulfate-a NO-donor (TNICthio) were first studied on human cells in conditions of mono and combined application of H2S and antioxidants. Comparative studies were performed on three cell lines: normal and leukemic T lymphocytes (Jurkat cells) and breast cancer MCF-7 cells (human breast adenocarcinoma). Also established was a high biological activity of TNICthio, as well as correlation between the levels of reactive oxygen species generation, the formation of double-strand breaks (DSB) in DNA and cell proliferation. The amount of DNA DSB repair in normal lymphocytes was tenfold higher than in leukemic cells. Inorganic H2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) had insignificant effects on the production of reactive oxygen species and generation of DNA DSB in the cells of all the lines under study. However, H2S increased the tolerance of cells to the stress response after combined cell treatment with NO + H2S. 0.5 mM NO-donor and 0.1 mM antitumor antibiotic doxorubicin were equally effective generators of reactive oxygen species in MCF-7 cells; however, antiproliferative activity of the NO-donor, in this case, proved to be twice higher. The results obtained in this work may be promising for the prediction of pro- and antioxidant properties of the new NO and H2S donating compounds, as well as for the development of methods for complex anticancer therapy.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the prooxidant-antioxidant balance depending on endothelial nitric oxide synthase G894T polymorphism. The frequency distribution of alleles and genotypes of G894T polymorphism, nitrite concentration, hydrogen sulphide, lipid peroxidation products (diene conjugates, malonic dialdehyde), antioxidants (reduced glutathione, catalase, ceruloplasmin, retinol) were determined in venous blood of healthy males. The incidence of the GG genotype was 49.1%, GT - 44.2%, TT - 6.7%. The level of malonic dialdehyde in erythrocytes with the GG genotype is 16.8% lower than in the genotype GT. The concentration of hydrogen sulphide in the blood with the GG genotype was 27.5 [18,2; 32,5] mM, GT - 28.6 [22.9; 33.8] mM, TT - 36.3 [33.8; 42.5] mM. The content of total nitrites in plasma with the GG genotype was 10.4 [9,0; 12,5] mM, GT - 10.4 [8.9; 11.8] mM, TT - 9.4 [8.8; 9.8] mM. The genotype GG causes a lower level of malonic dialdehyde in comparison with the heterozygous genotype. The G894T polymorphism allele T is associated with a low content of total nitrites in the plasma and a high concentration of hydrogen sulfide. The data obtained suggest that if the oxygen supply of the organism is impaired, the endothelial nitric oxide synthase G894T polymorphism may be important for the oxidative stress development.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a relevant signaling molecule in physiology, taking its seat as a bona fide gasotransmitter akin to nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). After being merely regarded as a toxic poisonous molecule, it is now recognized that mammalian cells are equipped with sophisticated enzymatic systems for H2S production and breakdown. The signaling role of H2S is mainly related to its ability to modify different protein targets, particularly by promoting persulfidation of protein cysteine residues and by interacting with metal centers, mostly hemes. H2S has been shown to regulate a myriad of cellular processes with multiple physiological consequences. As such, dysfunctional H2S metabolism is increasingly implicated in different pathologies, from cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases to cancer. As a highly diffusible reactive species, the intra- and extracellular levels of H2S have to be kept under tight control and, accordingly, regulation of H2S metabolism occurs at different levels. Interestingly, even though H2S, NO, and CO have similar modes of action and parallel regulatory targets or precisely because of that, there is increasing evidence of a crosstalk between the three gasotransmitters. Herein are reviewed the biochemistry, metabolism, and signaling function of hydrogen sulfide, as well as its interplay with the other gasotransmitters, NO and CO.

Abstract
Recent studies of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling implicate low molecular weight (LMW) thiol persulfides and other reactive sulfur species (RSS) as signaling effectors. Here, we show that a CstR protein from the human pathogen Enterococcus faecalis ( E. faecalis), previously identified in Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus), is an RSS-sensing repressor that transcriptionally regulates a cst-like operon in response to both exogenous sulfide stress and Angeli's salt, a precursor of nitroxyl (HNO). E. faecalis CstR reacts with coenzyme A persulfide (CoASSH) to form interprotomer disulfide and trisulfide bridges between C32 and C61', which negatively regulate DNA binding to a consensus CstR DNA operator. A Δ cstR strain exhibits deficiency in catheter colonization in a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) mouse model, suggesting sulfide regulation and homeostasis is critical for pathogenicity. Cellular polysulfide metabolite profiling of sodium sulfide-stressed E. faecalis confirms an increase in both inorganic polysulfides and LMW thiols and persulfides sensed by CstR. The cst-like operon encodes two authentic thiosulfate sulfurtransferases and an enzyme we characterize here as an NADH and FAD-dependent coenzyme A (CoA) persulfide reductase (CoAPR) that harbors an N-terminal CoA disulfide reductase (CDR) domain and a C-terminal rhodanese homology domain (RHD). Both cysteines in the CDR (C42) and RHD (C508) domains are required for CoAPR activity and complementation of a sulfide-induced growth phenotype of a S. aureus strain lacking cstB, encoding a nonheme FeII persulfide dioxygenase. We propose that S. aureus CstB and E. faecalis CoAPR employ orthogonal chemistries to lower CoASSH that accumulates under conditions of cellular sulfide toxicity and signaling.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and nitric oxide (NO) constitute endogenous gaseous molecules produced by specific enzymes. These gases are chemically simple, but exert multiple effects and act through shared molecular targets to control both physiology and pathophysiology in the cardiovascular system (CVS). The gases act via direct and/or indirect interactions with each other in proteins such as heme-containing enzymes, the mitochondrial respiratory complex, and ion channels, among others. Studies of the major impacts of CO, H2S, and NO on the CVS have revealed their involvement in controlling blood pressure and in reducing cardiac reperfusion injuries, although their functional roles are not limited to these conditions. In this review, the basic aspects of CO, H2S, and NO, including their production and effects on enzymes, mitochondrial respiration and biogenesis, and ion channels are briefly addressed to provide insight into their biology with respect to the CVS. Finally, potential therapeutic applications of CO, H2S, and NO with the CVS are addressed, based on the use of exogenous donors and different types of delivery systems.

Abstract
The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides an ideal framework to establish multi-disciplinary research networks. COST Action BM1203 (EU-ROS) represents a consortium of researchers from different disciplines who are dedicated to providing new insights and tools for better understanding redox biology and medicine and, in the long run, to finding new therapeutic strategies to target dysregulated redox processes in various diseases. This report highlights the major achievements of EU-ROS as well as research updates and new perspectives arising from its members. The EU-ROS consortium comprised more than 140 active members who worked together for four years on the topics briefly described below. The formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is an established hallmark of our aerobic environment and metabolism but RONS also act as messengers via redox regulation of essential cellular processes. The fact that many diseases have been found to be associated with oxidative stress established the theory of oxidative stress as a trigger of diseases that can be corrected by antioxidant therapy. However, while experimental studies support this thesis, clinical studies still generate controversial results, due to complex pathophysiology of oxidative stress in humans. For future improvement of antioxidant therapy and better understanding of redox-associated disease progression detailed knowledge on the sources and targets of RONS formation and discrimination of their detrimental or beneficial roles is required. In order to advance this important area of biology and medicine, highly synergistic approaches combining a variety of diverse and contrasting disciplines are needed.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress is thought to account for aberrant redox homeostasis and contribute to aging and disease. However, more often than not, administration of antioxidants is ineffective, suggesting that our current understanding of the underlying regulatory processes is incomplete. Recent Advances: Similar to reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, reactive sulfur species are now emerging as important signaling molecules, targeting regulatory cysteine redox switches in proteins, affecting gene regulation, ion transport, intermediary metabolism, and mitochondrial function. To rationalize the complexity of chemical interactions of reactive species with themselves and their targets and help define their role in systemic metabolic control, we here introduce a novel integrative concept defined as the reactive species interactome (RSI). The RSI is a primeval multilevel redox regulatory system whose architecture, together with the physicochemical characteristics of its constituents, allows efficient sensing and rapid adaptation to environmental changes and various other stressors to enhance fitness and resilience at the local and whole-organism level. CRITICAL ISSUES To better characterize the RSI-related processes that determine fluxes through specific pathways and enable integration, it is necessary to disentangle the chemical biology and activity of reactive species (including precursors and reaction products), their targets, communication systems, and effects on cellular, organ, and whole-organism bioenergetics using system-level/network analyses. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Understanding the mechanisms through which the RSI operates will enable a better appreciation of the possibilities to modulate the entire biological system; moreover, unveiling molecular signatures that characterize specific environmental challenges or other forms of stress will provide new prevention/intervention opportunities for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a small gaseous signaling molecule that mediates its effects in melanoma through free radical formation and enzymatic processes. Investigations have demonstrated multiple roles for NO in melanoma pathology via immune surveillance, apoptosis, angiogenesis, melanogenesis, and on the melanoma cell itself. In general, elevated levels of NO prognosticate a poor outcome for melanoma patients. However, there are processes where the relative concentration of NO in different environments may also serve to limit melanoma proliferation. This review serves to outline the roles of NO in melanoma development and proliferation. As demonstrated by multiple in vivo murine models and observations from human tissue, NO may promote melanoma formation and proliferation through its interaction via inhibitory immune cells, inhibition of apoptosis, stimulation of pro-tumorigenic cytokines, activation of tumor associated macrophages, alteration of angiogenic processes, and stimulation of melanoma formation itself.

Abstract
Exogenous and endogenously produced sulfide derivatives, such as H2S/HS-/S2-, polysulfides and products of the H2S/S-nitrosoglutathione interaction (S/GSNO), affect numerous biological processes in which superoxide anion (O2-) and hydroxyl (OH) radicals play an important role. Their cytoprotective-antioxidant and contrasting pro-oxidant-toxic effects have been reported. Therefore, the aim of our work was to contribute to resolving this apparent inconsistency by studying sulfide derivatives/free radical interactions and their consequent biological effects compared to the antioxidants glutathione (GSH) and Trolox. Using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping technique and O2-, we found that a polysulfide (Na2S4) and S/GSNO were potent scavengers of O2- and cPTIO radicals compared to H2S (Na2S), GSH and Trolox, and S/GSNO scavenged the DEPMPO-OH radical. As detected by the EPR spectra of DEPMPO-OH, the formation of OH in physiological solution by S/GSNO was suggested. All the studied sulfide derivatives, but not Trolox or GSH, had a bell-shaped potency to decompose H2O2 and produced OH in the following order: S/GSNO > Na2S4 ≥ Na2S > GSH = Trolox = 0, but they scavenged OH at higher concentrations. In studies of the biological consequences of these sulfide derivatives/H2O2 properties, we found the following: (i) S/GSNO alone and all sulfide derivatives in the presence of H2O2 cleaved plasmid DNA; (ii) S/GSNO interfered with viral replication and consequently decreased the infectivity of viruses; (iii) the sulfide derivatives induced apoptosis in A2780 cells but inhibited apoptosis induced by H2O2; and (iv) Na2S4 modulated intracellular calcium in A87MG cells, which depended on the order of Na2S4/H2O2 application. We suggest that the apparent inconsistency of the cytoprotective-antioxidant and contrasting pro-oxidant-toxic biological effects of sulfide derivatives results from their time- and concentration-dependent radical production/scavenging properties and their interactions with O2-, OH and H2O2. The results imply a direct involvement of sulfide derivatives in O2- and H2O2/OH free radical pathways modulating antioxidant/toxic biological processes.
