Tumor-derived hydrogen sulfide, produced by cystathionine-β-synthase, stimulates bioenergetics, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis in colon cancer

TL;DR: H2S produced from CBS serves to maintain colon cancer cellular bioenergetics, thereby supporting tumor growth and proliferation, and promote angiogenesis and vasorelaxation, consequently providing the tumor with blood and nutritients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide are mutually dependent in the regulation of angiogenesis and endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation

TL;DR: The results of the current study show that H2S and NO are mutually required to elicit angiogenesis and vasodilatation, and the cooperative action of the two gasotransmitters on increasing and maintaining intracellular cGMP is essential for PKG activation and angiogenic and vasorelaxation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of mitochondrial bioenergetic function by hydrogen sulfide. Part I. Biochemical and physiological mechanisms

TL;DR: The biochemical mechanisms underlying the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of H2S on mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics are overviewed and the implication of these processes for normal cellular physiology is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen sulfide replacement therapy protects the vascular endothelium in hyperglycemia by preserving mitochondrial function

TL;DR: Endogenously produced H2S protects against the development of hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction ex vivo, and it is hypothesized that, in hyperglycemic endothelial cells, mitochondrial ROS production and increased H1N1 catabolism form a positive feed-forward cycle.
