There is a variety of electrophiles in the environment. In addition, there are precursor chemicals that undergo metabolic activation by enzymes and conversion to body. Although covalently bind protein nucleophiles, they also form adducts associated with adaptive or toxic responses. Low molecular weight compounds containing sulfur capable blocking such adduct formation capturing electrophiles. this review, we present out findings on capture inactivation 1) intracellular glutathione, 2) reactive species 3) extracellular cysteine (formed during production adducts). These actions not only substantially suppress electrophilic activity but regulate formation.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial part in the process of cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. ROS involves oxidation lipids generate 4-hydroxynonenal other compounds associated with it. Ferroptosis may be facilitated by lipid peroxidation phospholipid bilayers. In order to offer novel ideas directions for investigation disorders connected these processes, we evaluate function which ultimately leads ferroptosis as well proposed crosstalk mechanisms between types programmed death.

Abstract The presence of redox-active molecules containing catenated sulfur atoms (supersulfides) in living organisms has led to a review the concepts redox biology and its translational strategy. Glutathione (GSH) is body’s primary detoxifier antioxidant, oxidized form (GSSG) been considered as marker oxidative status. However, we report that GSSG, but not reduced GSH, prevents ischemic supersulfide catabolism-associated heart failure male mice by electrophilic modification dynamin-related protein (Drp1). In healthy exercised hearts, redox-sensitive Cys644 Drp1 highly S-glutathionylated. Nearly 40% normally polysulfidated, which preferential target for GSSG-mediated S-glutathionylation. S-glutathionylation resistant depolysulfidation-dependent mitochondrial hyperfission myocardial dysfunction caused hypoxic stress.

Bulky at via polysulfidation or reduces activity disrupting Ser637-Glu640-Cys644 interaction. Disruption nullifies cardioprotective effect GSSG against after infarction. Our findings suggest therapeutic potential supersulfide-based Cys bulking on disease.

Sulfur-based redox signaling has long attracted attention as critical mechanisms underlying the development of cardiac diseases and resultant heart failure. Especially, post-translational modifications cysteine (Cys) thiols in proteins mediate oxidative stress-dependent remodeling including myocardial hypertrophy, senescence, interstitial fibrosis. However, we recently revealed existence Cys persulfides polysulfides cells tissues, which show higher activities than substantially contribute to energy metabolism. We have established simple evaluation methods that can detect inorganic abundantly expressed normal hearts are dramatically catabolized by exposure ischemic/hypoxic environmental electrophilic stress, causes vulnerability mechanical load.

Despite their biological significance, the study of hydropersulfides (RSSH) is often limited due to inherent instability. Here, we introduce arylsulfonothioates as thiol-activated RSSH donors and provide insight into cellular reactive sulfur species homeostasis. These precursors persulfidate physiologically relevant thiols (RSH) form corresponding RSSH. Real-time monitoring hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generation via membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) was employed follow production, revealing that electron-donating aryl substituents marginally slow release rates, whereas electron-withdrawing slightly accelerate release. Furthermore, with strong offer superior protection against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. Experiments using H9c2 cardiomyocytes affirmed cell-permeability ability increase intracellular levels protein persulfidation levels. Notably, observe excretion extracellular medium. Further investigations revealed involvement cystine/glutamate antiporter SLC7A11, cotreatment its inhibitor, sulfasalazine, significantly reduce cells exhibit tolerance arylsulfonothioate 1g an 4-cyano group at 1 mM; however, inhibition cystine results in a minor decrease cell viability.

Gut pathogens, such as Vibrio cholerae, sense respond to these stressors modulating the expression exotoxins are crucial for colonization. Here, we employ mass spectrometry-based profiling, metabolomics, assays, biophysical approaches show transcriptional activation hemolysin gene hlyA in V. cholerae is regulated intracellular forms sulfur with sulfur-sulfur bonds, termed species (RSS). We first present comprehensive sequence similarity network analysis arsenic repressor superfamily regulators, where RSS hydrogen peroxide sensors segregate into distinct clusters sequences.
