The Role of Hydrogen Sulfide in Plaque Stability

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Atherosclerosis is the greatest contributor to cardiovascular events and is involved in the majority of deaths worldwide. Plaque rapture or erosion precipitates life-threatening thrombi, resulting in the obstruction blood flow to the heart (acute ...

Cystathionine gamma-lyase deficiency and overproliferation of smooth muscle cells [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2010
Cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE)-derived H2S plays an important role in regulating cell growth. Lack of CSE expression results in development of hypertension. The current study compared proliferation of smooth muscle cells derived from CSE gene knockout mice (SMCs-KO) with that of wild-type mice (SMCs-WT).Cell proliferation was assessed by ...

Cystathionine γ-lyase: Clinical, metabolic, genetic, and structural studies [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2009
We report studies of six individuals with marked elevations of cystathionine in plasma and/or urine. Studies of CTH, the gene that encodes cystathionine gamma-lyase, revealed the presence among these individuals of either homozygous or compound heterozygous forms of a novel large deletion, p.Gly57_Gln196del, two novel missense mutations, c.589C>T (p ...

Hydrogen sulfide pathway and skeletal muscle: an introductory review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The presence of the H2 S pathway in skeletal muscle (SKM) has recently been established. SKM expresses the three constitutive H2 S-generating enzymes in animals and humans, and it actively produces H2 S.

Blockade of the trans-sulfuration pathway in acute pancreatitis due to nitration of cystathionine β-synthase

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2020
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of the pancreatic gland that may lead to dysregulation of the trans-sulfuration pathway. The aims of this work were firstly to study the methionine cycle as well as the trans-sulfuration pathway using ...

Cystine-dependent antiporters buffer against excess intracellular reactive sulfur species-induced stress

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2022
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) play a role in redox homeostasis; however, adaptive cell responses to excessive intracellular RSS are not well understood. Therefore, in this study, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing cystathionine gamma-lyase (

Characterization of hyperglycemia due to sub-chronic administration of red ginseng extract via comparative global proteomic analysis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) is commonly used as an herbal remedy worldwide. Few studies have explored the possible physiological changes in the liver although patients often self-medicate with ginseng preparations, which may lead to exceeding the ...

Hydrogen sulfide blocks HIV rebound by maintaining mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox homeostasis

open access: yeseLife, 2021
A fundamental challenge in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) eradication is to understand how the virus establishes latency, maintains stable cellular reservoirs, and promotes rebound upon interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART).

The endogenous production of hydrogen sulphide in intrauterine tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Hydrogen sulphide is a gas signalling molecule which is produced endogenously from L-cysteine via the enzymes cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE).
