1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D 3 influences cellular homocysteine levels in murine preosteoblastic MC3T3‐E1 cells by direct regulation of cystathionine β‐synthase [PDF]
High homocysteine (HCY) levels are a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture. Furthermore, bone quality and strength are compromised by elevated HCY owing to its negative impact on collagen maturation.

Propargylglycine inhibits hypotaurine/taurine synthesis and elevates cystathionine and homocysteine concentrations in primary mouse hepatocytes [PDF]
Our investigation showed that hepatocytes isolated from cysteine dioxygenase knockout mice (Cdo1(−/−)) had lower levels of hypotaurine and taurine than Cdo1(+/+) hepatocytes. Interestingly, hypotaurine accumulates in cultured wild-type hepatocytes.

H2S biosynthesis and catabolism: new insights from molecular studies [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has profound biological effects within living organisms and is now increasingly being considered alongside other gaseous signalling molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Hydrogen sulfide and inflammatory joint diseases [PDF]
[Abstract] Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are widespread rheumatic diseases characterized by persistent inflammation and joint destruction. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gas with important physiologic functions in

Physiological roles of hydrogen sulfide in mammalian cells, tissues, and organs. [PDF]
Over the last two decades, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an endogenous regulator of a broad range of physiological functions. H2S belongs to the class of molecules known as gasotransmitters, which typically include nitric oxide (NO) and carbon ...

Prostaglandin reductase 2 (PTGR2) is the enzyme that catalyzes 15-keto-PGE2, an endogenous PPARγ ligand, into 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2. Previously, we have reported a novel oncogenic role of PTGR2 in gastric cancer, where PTGR2 was discovered to ...

Hydrogen sulfide generation from l-cysteine in the human glioblastoma-astrocytoma U-87 MG and neuroblastoma SHSY5Y cell lines [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is endogenously synthesized from l-cysteine in reactions catalyzed by cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS, EC 4.2.1.22) and gamma-cystathionase (CSE, EC 4.4.1.1).
