Hydrogen Sulfide: A Novel Player in Airway Development, Pathophysiology of Respiratory Diseases, and Antiviral Defenses

Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a biologically relevant signaling molecule in mammals. Along with the volatile substances nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), HS is defined as a gasotransmitter. It plays a physiological role in a variety of functions, including synaptic transmission, vascular tone, angiogenesis, inflammation, and cellular signaling. The generation of HS is catalyzed by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST). The expression … Show more

“…Endogenous H 2 S in mammal organs can be mainly produced by cysteine‐β‐synthetase (CBS) and cysteine‐γ‐lyase (CSE) with L‐cysteine used as a main substrate. The expression of both CBS and CSE has been detected in lung tissues . There is now accumulating evidence that endogenous H 2 S plays vital roles in the pathogenesis of a variety of respiratory diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung diseases .…”

“…Over the last decade, great strides have been made in our understanding of the biological and physiological significance of hydrogen sulfide gas (H 2 S) in mammals. [1][2][3] Importantly, this molecule is regarded as the third gasotransmitter alongside carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. In the cells and tissues of our bodies, H 2 S is produced by the enzymes cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfur transferase (3-MST).…”

“…On earth, microbial respiration of seawater sulfate creates a hydrogen sulfide-rich ecosystem [5], suggesting that H 2 S is a component for a potential microbial life sustaining atmosphere on Venus [2], and a potential biomarker for life on exoplanets [6]. H 2 S influences many physiological processes [7], it is of importance in the treatment of respiratory diseases [8], and it is used as a measure of the quality of air near oil refineries [9]. The parent isotopologue, H 2 32 S, was first detected in interstellar space in 1972 [10].…”
