- Description:
- As a novel gasotrans mitter, h ydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has vasodilating and antihypertensive effects in cardiovascular system. Thus, we hypothesized that H 2 S might have beneficial effects on thoracic endothelial function in two -kidney one -clip (2K1C) rats, a model of renovascular hypertension. Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS , 56 μmol/kg /day ) was administrated intra - peritoneally from the third day after the 2K1C operation. Along with the development of hypertension, t he systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured before the operation and each week thereafter. The oxidative stress wa s determined by measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and protein expression of oxidative stress -related proteins (AT 1 R, NADPH oxidase subunits). Acetylcholine (ACh) -induced vasorelaxation and angiotensin I I (Ang II) -induced vasocontraction were performed on isolated thoracic aorta. The SBP w as significantly increased from the first week after operation , and was lowered by NaHS. NaHS supplementation ameliorated endothelial dysfunction. The protein expression of oxidative stress -related proteins were downregulated, while SOD activity upregulated. In conclusion, improvement of endothelial function is involved in the antihypertensive mechanism of H 2 S. The protective effect of H 2 S is attributable to suppression o f vascular oxidative stress that involves inhibition of Ang II -AT 1 R action, downregulation of oxidases, as well as upregulation of antioxidant enzyme., H.
