Life Sci 2022; 309:120988. [PMID: 36155181 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.120988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is considered as an end stage for many lung diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) as regenerative therapy have become a remarkably valuable therapeutic strategy in different diseases. Hydrogen sulfide has been recently introduced into the medical field for its antifibrotic properties in addition to enhancement of MSC stemness and function. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of BM-MSC in combination with NaHS to attenuate Bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis was studied in rats. A special emphasis was given to miR-21 and GAS5 as important players in the development of PF. MAIN METHODS PF was induced in 32 Wistar male rats by single endotracheal injection of bleomycin, those were randomly divided into four groups (8 rats each): (untreated PF group) - (PF + MSC) treated group- (PF + NaHS treated group) - PF + combined (NAHS + MSC) treated group. KEY FINDINGS Induction of PF was associated with increased miR-21 and decreased lncRNA-GAS5 expression. Treatment with either NaHS or BM-MSC leads to an inhibitory effect on pulmonary fibrosis as evidenced by improvement of histopathological studies, pulmonary function tests, reduction of inflammatory and fibrotic markers like Hydroxyproline, TNF α, TGF-β and caspase -3 together with downregulation miR-21 and increase lncRNA-GAS5 expression. SIGNIFICANCE The current work revealed the inhibitory effect of combined NaHS and BM-MSC on pulmonary fibrosis with concomitant modulation of miR-21 and lncRNA-GAS5 expression.

Abstract
The pathways and mechanisms of the production of H2S in the gastrointestinal tract are briefly described, including endogenous H2S produced by the organism and H2S from microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the physiological regulatory functions of H2S on gastrointestinal motility, sensation, secretion and absorption, endocrine system, proliferation and differentiation of stem cells, and the possible mechanisms involved are introduced. In view of the complexity of biosynthesis, physiological roles, and the mechanism of H2S, this chapter focuses on the interactions and dynamic balance among H2S, gastrointestinal microorganisms, and the host. Finally, we focus on some clinical gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, functional gastrointestinal disease, which might occur or develop when the above balance is broken. Pharmacological regulation of H2S or the intestinal microorganisms related to H2S might provide new therapeutic approaches for some gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is now considered not only for its toxicity, but also as an endogenously produced gas transmitter with multiple physiological roles, also in maintaining and regulating stem cell physiology. In the present work, we evaluated the effect of a common H2S donor, NaHS, on porcine vascular wall-mesenchymal stem cells (pVW-MSCs). pVW-MSCs were treated for 24 h with increasing doses of NaHS, and the cell viability, cell cycle, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were evaluated. Moreover, the long-term effects of NaHS administration on the noteworthy characteristics of pVW-MSCs were analyzed. The MTT test revealed no alteration in cell viability, however, the cell cycle analysis demonstrated that the highest NaHS dose tested (300 μM) determined a block in S phase, which did not depend on the ROS production. Moreover, NaHS (10 μM), continuously administered in culture for 21 days, was able to significantly reduce NG2, Nestin and PDGFR-β expression. The pro-angiogenic attitude of pVW-MSCs was partially reduced by NaHS: the cells maintained the ability to grow in spheroid and sprouting from that, but endothelial markers (Factor VIII and CD31) were reduced. In conclusion, NaHS can be toxic for pVW-MSCs in high doses, while in low doses, it influences cellular physiology, by affecting the gene expression with a slowing down of the endothelial lineage.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is now increasingly considered to be the third gasotransmitter alongside other gaseous signaling molecules, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). H2S is produced by a variety of endogenous enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways and acts as a modulator of the physiological and pathological events of the body. Adipocytes express the cystathionine γ lyase (CSE)/H2S system, which modulates a variety of biological activities in adipose tissue (AT), including inflammation, apoptosis, insulin resistance, adipokine secretion and adipocyte differentiation. Abnormalities in the physiological functions of AT play an important role in the process of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the general aspects of H2S biochemistry, the effect of H2S on AT function and diabetes mellitus and its molecular signalling mechanisms as well as the potential application of H2S in pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is recognized as an important organ with metabolic, regulatory, and plastic roles. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) with self-renewal properties localize in the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) being present in a vascular niche, thereby, contributing to local regulation of angiogenesis and vessel remodeling. In the past decades, ASCs have attracted much attention from biologists and bioengineers, particularly, because of their multilineage differentiation potential, strong proliferation, and migration abilities in vitro and high resistance to oxidative stress and senescence. Current data suggest that the SVF serves as an important source of endothelial progenitors, endothelial cells, and pericytes, thereby, contributing to vessel remodeling and growth. In addition, ASCs demonstrate intriguing metabolic and interlineage plasticity, which makes them good candidates for creating regenerative therapeutic protocols, in vitro tissue models and microphysiological systems, and tissue-on-chip devices for diagnostic and regeneration-supporting purposes. This review covers recent achievements in understanding the metabolic activity within the SVF niches (lactate and NAD+ metabolism), which is critical for maintaining the pool of ASCs, and discloses their pro-angiogenic potential, particularly, in the complex therapy of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, mediated a variety of biological processes through multiple signaling pathways, and aberrant H2S metabolism has been associated with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) dysfunction. Here we employed the small interfering RNA treatment for cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase, the main enzymes to synthesize H2S, and CBS-knockout mice to analyze the effect of H2S on dental pulp homeostasis. We showed that H2S deficiency attenuated dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) osteogenic/dentinogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo with enhanced cell proliferation. Mechanically, H2S facilitated the transient receptor potential action channel subfamily V member 1-mediated calcium (Ca2+) influx, which subsequently activated the β-catenin pathway. While H2S deficiency decreased Ca2+, resulting in glycogen synthase kinase-3β-mediated β-catenin degradation, which controls proliferation and differentiation of DPSCs. Consistently, H2S-deficient mice displayed disturbed pattern of dental pulp and less dentin formation. In this study, we identified a previously unknown mechanism by which H2S regulates DPSC lineage determination and dental pulp homeostasis.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a novel gasotransmitter, is endogenously synthesized by multiple enzymes that are differentially expressed in the peripheral tissues and central nervous systems. H2S regulates a wide range of physiological processes, namely cardiovascular, neuronal, immune, respiratory, gastrointestinal, liver, and endocrine systems, by influencing cellular signaling pathways and sulfhydration of target proteins. This review focuses on the recent progress made in H2S signaling that affects mechanistic and functional aspects of several biological processes such as autophagy, inflammation, proliferation and differentiation of stem cell, cell survival/death, and cellular metabolism under both physiological and pathological conditions. Moreover, we highlighted the cross-talk between nitric oxide and H2S in several bilogical contexts.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has long been known as a toxic gas. However, recently accumulated evidence suggests that H2S contributes to a variety of physiologic and pathologic processes. Endogenous H2S production is regulated by multiple enzymes that are differentially expressed in the cardiovascular, neuronal, immune, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, reproductive, liver, and endocrine systems. Alteration of H2S metabolism may affect multiple signaling pathways and tissue homeostasis. The growing number of diverse targets for which H2S serves as a gasotransmitter has been extensively reviewed elsewhere. In this review, the authors discuss current emerging evidence that H2S regulates mesenchymal stem cell and T-cell functions.
