Summary: This study identified differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) associated with hydrogen sulfide metabolism in Holstein cows with clinical mastitis (CM), indicating the important role of cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CTH)/H2S in CM. The findings provide insight into the function and regulatory mechanism of CTH/H2S in Holstein cows and can contribute to the prevention and treatment of CM.

Summary: In an in vitro model of sarcopenia, impairment in CBS/CSE/H2S signaling occurs, and glucoraphanin, as a natural H2S-releasing molecule, appears to be more effective in preventing muscle damage. Therefore, glucoraphanin supplementation could be an innovative therapeutic approach in the management of sarcopenia.

Summary: Gasotransmitters hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide play critical roles in human physiology by mediating signal transduction through interaction with protein targets. Research shows that S-nitrosation can inhibit hydrogen sulfide production through affecting various protein cysteine residues, highlighting a new mechanism of crosstalk between gasotransmitters.

Summary: This study found that methionine restriction (MR) can attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury by regulating cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) expression and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). MR inhibits the activation of TLR4/NF-kappa B/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators and immune cell infiltration.

Summary: Oxidation induces the formation of a disulfide bond within the CSE protein, enhancing its H2S-producing activity and promoting cellular H2S production under oxidative stress conditions. The residue Cys255 plays a crucial role in sensing oxidation and forming a disulfide bond with Cys252.

Summary: Regulation of H2S homeostasis in humans is not well understood. By studying patients with genetic defects, the importance of certain enzymes in H2S synthesis and catabolism was assessed. The findings suggest the presence of control and compensatory mechanisms in the maintenance of H2S homeostasis.

Summary: This study revealed that the biosynthesis of hydrogen sulfide in postharvest mushrooms is stimulated by cold treatment, with cystathionine gamma-lyase and cystathionine beta-synthase genes responsible for the synthesis. Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of AbCSE and AbCBS are crucial for enzyme activities and hydrogen sulfide levels.
