Inhibition of hydrogen sulfide biosynthesis sensitizes lung adenocarcinoma to chemotherapeutic drugs by inhibiting mitochondrial DNA repair and suppressing cellular bioenergetics [PDF]
Therapeutic manipulation of the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has recently been proposed as a novel targeted anticancer approach. Here we show that human lung adenocarcinoma tissue expresses high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) producing ...

N-acetylcysteine serves as substrate of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase and stimulates sulfide metabolism in colon cancer cells [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule. The enzymes 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MST), partly localized in mitochondria, and the inner mitochondrial membrane-associated sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR), besides

The anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory response of COPD airway smooth muscle cells to hydrogen sulfide [PDF]
BACKBROUND: COPD is a common, highly debilitating disease of the airways, primarily caused by smoking. Chronic inflammation and structural remodelling are key pathological features of this disease caused, in part, by the aberrant function of airway ...

The Role of CBS in Injury Time Estimation after Brain Contusion [PDF]
Objective To observe the changes of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) expression in the cerebral cortex after brain contusion at different times. Methods An experimental model of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice was established by an improved weight ...

Automated workflow-based exploitation of pathway databases provides new insights into genetic associations of metabolite profiles [PDF]
Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with clinical phenotypes, but these SNPs usually explain just a small part of the heritability and have relatively modest

Functional assays testing pathogenicity of 14 cystathionine-beta synthase mutations [PDF]
In this study, 14 CBS alleles from homocystinuric patients were expressed heterologously in E. coli and their enzyme activities were assayed in vitro. Additionally, mutant CBS proteins were visualized by Western blot from denaturing and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels.

Genotypic Spectrum in a Cohort of Sri Lankan Patients With Homocystinuria
Homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta‐synthase (CBS) deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Spectrum of genetic variants in CBS gene and their correlation with the phenotypes of homocystinuria in Sri Lankan ...
