Measurement of plasma hydrogen sulfide in vivo and in vitro

TLDR
A very sensitive method of measuring the presence of H₂S in plasma down to nanomolar levels, using monobromobimane (MBB), suitable for sensitive quantitative measurement of free hydrogen sulfide in multiple biological samples such as plasma, tissue and cell culture lysates, or media.

Physiological Implications of Hydrogen Sulfide: A Whiff Exploration That Blossomed

TL;DR: The important life-supporting role of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has evolved from bacteria to plants, invertebrates, vertebrate, vertebrates, and finally to mammals, but over the centuries it had only been known for its toxicity and environmental hazard.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical Biology of H2S Signaling through Persulfidation.

TL;DR: The biologically relevant chemistry of H2S and the enzymatic routes for its production and oxidation are discussed and the roles ascribed to protein persulfidation in cell signaling pathways are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capture and Visualization of Hydrogen Sulfide by a Fluorescent Probe

TL;DR: A reaction-based fluorescent turn-on strategy for the detection of H2S, which has been shown to relax vascular smooth muscle, induce vasodilation of isolated blood vessels, and reduce blood pressure, and is a potent anti-inflammatory molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polysulfides Link H2S to Protein Thiol Oxidation

TL;DR: This study suggests that the effects that have been attributed to H2S in previous reports may in fact have been mediated by polysulfides, and supports the notion that sulfane sulfur rather than sulfide is the actual in vivo agent of H 2S signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective turn-on fluorescent probes for imaging hydrogen sulfide in living cells

TL;DR: Two bright fluorescent probes are reported that are selective for H( 2)S over cysteine, glutathione and other reactive sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen species and are demonstrated to detect H(2)S in live cells.

The possible role of hydrogen sulfide as an endogenous neuromodulator

TL;DR: It is shown that physiological concentrations of H2S selectively enhance NMDA receptor-mediated responses and facilitate the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation, suggesting that endogenous H 2S functions as a neuromodulator in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The vasorelaxant effect of H2S as a novel endogenous gaseous KATP channel opener

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that H2S is an important endogenous vasoactive factor and the first identified gaseous opener of KATP channels in vascular SMCs and production from vascular tissues was enhanced by nitric oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Critical Review of the Literature on Hydrogen Sulfide Toxicity

TL;DR: This review of the literature is intended as an evaluative report rather than an annotated bibliography of all the source material examined on hydrogen sulfide, noting information gaps that may require further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the enzymic capacity for cysteine desulphhydration in liver and kidney of the rat.

TL;DR: There was no significant effect of propargylglycine administration on the urinary excretion of total 35S, 35SO4(2-) or [35S]taurine formed from labelled dietary cysteine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous hydrogen sulfide overproduction in Down syndrome.

TL;DR: The cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) gene is localized on chromosome 21 (21q22.3) and this overproduction is potentially able to induce some of the clinical signs of Down syndrome such as hypotonia and mental retardation.
