Endogenous hydrogen sulphide deficiency and exogenous hydrogen sulphide supplement regulate skin fibroblasts proliferation via necroptosis. Exp Dermatol 2024; 33:e14972.

Abstract
An excessive proliferation of skin fibroblasts usually results in different skin fibrotic diseases. Hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) is regarded as an important endogenous gasotransmitter with various functions. The study aimed to investigate the roles and mechanisms of H2 S on primary mice skin fibroblasts proliferation. Cell proliferation and collagen synthesis were assessed with the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Collagen I and Collagen III. The degree of oxidative stress was evaluated by dihydroethidium (DHE) and MitoSOX staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was detected by JC-1 staining. Necroptosis was evaluated with TDT-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) and expression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). The present study found that α-SMA, PCNA, Collagen I and Collagen III expression were increased, oxidative stress was promoted, ΔΨm was impaired and positive rate of TUNEL staining, RIPK1 and RIPK3 expression as well as MLKL phosphorylation were all enhanced in skin fibroblasts from cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) knockout (KO) mice or transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1, 10 ng/mL)-stimulated mice skin fibroblasts, which was restored by exogenous sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS, 50 μmol/L). In conclusion, endogenous H2 S production impairment in CSE-deficient mice accelerated skin fibroblasts proliferation via promoted necroptosis, which was attenuated by exogenous H2 S. Exogenous H2 S supplement alleviated proliferation of skin fibroblasts with TGF-β1 stimulation via necroptosis inhibition. This study provides evidence for H2 S as a candidate agent to prevent and treat skin fibrotic diseases.

Renoprotective effects of extracellular fibroblast specific protein 1 via nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-mediated antioxidant activity. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22540. [PMID: 38110482 PMCID: PMC10728167 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49863-y] [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: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Podocyte expression of fibroblast specific protein 1 (FSP1) is observed in various types of human glomerulonephritis. Considering that FSP1 is secreted extracellularly and has been shown to have multiple biological effects on distant cells, we postulated that secreted FSP1 from podocytes might impact renal tubules. Our RNA microarray analysis in a tubular epithelial cell line (mProx) revealed that FSP1 induced the expression of heme oxygenase 1, sequestosome 1, solute carrier family 7, member 11, and cystathionine gamma-lyase, all of which are associated with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) activation. Therefore, FSP1 is likely to exert cytoprotective effects through Nrf2-induced antioxidant activity. Moreover, in mProx, FSP1 facilitated Nrf2 translocation to the nucleus, increased levels of reduced glutathione, inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and reduced cisplatin-induced cell death. FSP1 also ameliorated acute tubular injury in mice with cisplatin nephrotoxicity, which is a representative model of ROS-mediated tissue injury. Similarly, in transgenic mice that express FSP1 specifically in podocytes, tubular injury associated with cisplatin nephrotoxicity was also mitigated. Extracellular FSP1 secreted from podocytes acts on downstream tubular cells, exerting renoprotective effects through Nrf2-mediated antioxidant activity. Consequently, podocytes and tubular epithelial cells have a remote communication network to limit injury.

Abstract
The kidney plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis by regulating glucose transport. We aimed to investigate the impact of alterations in glucose transport on glucose metabolism during ageing. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups: 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month control groups, and 6- and 12-month groups receiving the hydrogen sulfide donor molecule GYY4137. The study found that, as age increased, daily urinary uric acid and protein levels increased in the 12-month group. Blood sugar level and HOMA-IR index increased in the 12-month group, and were partially improved by GYY4137. The kidney tissue showed mild glomerulosclerosis in the 12-month group, which was diminished by GYY4137. Gene expression analysis showed decreased sirtuin and increased p21 expression in the aging groups. Increased SGLT1 and SGLT2 expression was observed in the 12-month group, which was reversed by GYY4137. Both GLUT1 and GLUT2 expression was increased in the 6- and 12-month groups, and reversed by GYY4137 in the 12-month group. The study concluded that aging was associated with increased blood sugar levels and the HOMA-IR index, and the abundance of renal glucose transporters increased as aging progressed. GYY4137 effectively reversed aging-related alterations in glucose homeostasis and renal epithelial transporters.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects more than 230 million people worldwide. PAD patients suffer from reduced quality of life and are at increased risk of vascular complications and all-cause mortality. Despite its prevalence, impact on quality of life and poor long-term clinical outcomes, PAD remains underdiagnosed and undertreated compared to myocardial infarction and stroke. PAD is due to a combination of macrovascular atherosclerosis and calcification, combined with microvascular rarefaction, leading to chronic peripheral ischemia. Novel therapies are needed to address the increasing incidence of PAD and its difficult long-term pharmacological and surgical management. The cysteine-derived gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has interesting vasorelaxant, cytoprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this review, we describe the current understanding of PAD pathophysiology and the remarkable benefits of H2S against atherosclerosis, inflammation, vascular calcification, and other vasculo-protective effects.

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

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been shown to be effective against kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in animal studies. We aimed to evaluate the current evidence from in vivo animal studies for the protective effects of H2S against kidney IRI by systematically reviewing the literature and performing a meta-analysis. Based on the preregistered protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42021295469); PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched to identify in vivo animal studies evaluating the effect of H2S against kidney IRI. Standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated and pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Twenty-two articles complied with eligibility criteria, from which the creatinine levels of 152 control animals and 182 animals treated with H2S from 27 individual experiments were pooled. H2S treatment significantly decreased serum creatinine (SMD = -1.82 [95% CI -1.12, -2.51], p < 0.0001), blood urea nitrogen (-2.50 [-1.46, -3.54], p < 0.0001), tissue malondialdehyde (-2.59 [-3.30, -1.88], p < 0.0001), tunel positive cells (-3.16 [-4.38, -1.94], p < 0.0001), and tubular damage score (-2.01 [-3.03, -0.99], p < 0.0001). There was a high heterogeneity across studies (I2 = 83.5% for serum creatinine level). In meta-regression analysis, the type of H2S donor and its application time accounted for 11.3% (p = 0.025) and 16.6% (p = 0.039) of heterogeneity, respectively. Accordingly, H2S protects the kidney against IRI only if it is given as GYY4137 before or during ischemia. Although H2S is a potential candidate against kidney IRI, further well-designed preclinical studies focusing on GYY4137 are warranted before clinical implication.

Abstract
Renal glomerular diseases such as glomerulosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy often result in the loss of glomerular function and consequently end-stage renal disease. The glomerulus consists of endothelial cells, mesangial cells and glomerular epithelial cells also referred to as podocytes. A fine-tuned crosstalk between glomerular cells warrants control of growth factor synthesis and of matrix production and degradation, preserving glomerular structure and function. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) belongs together with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) to the group of gasotransmitters. During the last three decades, these higher concentration toxic gases have been found to be produced in mammalian cells in a well-coordinated manner. Recently, it became evident that H2S and the other gasotransmitters share common targets as signalling devices that trigger mainly protective pathways. In several animal models, H2S has been demonstrated as a protective factor in the context of kidney disorders, in particular of diabetic nephropathy. Here, we focus on the synthesis and action of H2S in glomerular cells, its beneficial effects in the glomerulus and its action in the context of the other gaseous signalling molecules NO and CO.
