The core challenge of H 2 S therapy is to supply H 2 S in a continuous and steady way. By self-polymerizing lipoic acid trisulfide, herein a new H 2 S donor called poly-lipoic acid trisulfide particles (pLATP) is developed with the steady H 2 S supply over 48 h at both cellular and animal levels, the longest time reported so far. Mechanistically, the pLATP high-efficiently enters the cytoplasm via the poly(trisulfides) mediated membrane penetration. In cells, thanks to the polymerized solid sphere structure, the pLATP releases H 2 S by a layer-by-layer decomposed way. Only when the outer layer decomposes, the inner layer can be exposed. After H 2 S release, the pLATP degrades to lipoic acid, which is not only a B vitamin, but also enhances the expression of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, a H 2 S synthesizing enzyme promoting the production of endogenous H 2 S. The dual pathways of exogenous supplementation and endogenous recovery warrant the continuous and steady supply of H 2 S at the lesion site. As a proof of concept, the pLATP normalized cardiac function in rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a vital endogenous signal molecule that exerts critical physiological functions such as biological regulation and cytoprotection. Despite significant progress in developing H2S donors, site-specific delivery and controllable release of H2S in biological systems remain a key challenge. Herein, we develop new Cys-triggered fluorescent H2S donor Pro-S that is composed of a dicyanoisophorone-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye and a thiocarbamate moiety. The H2S donor releases H2S under the attack of Cys, accompanied by the release of a fluorescent reporter, which enables the real-time capturing of H2S by fluorescence spectroscopy or microscopy. Pro-S exhibits strong NIR fluorescence enhancement (70-fold), excellent controllable H2S release (30 min), high H2S release efficiency (62%), and well live-cell compatibility, allowing for visualization of H2S release in cells and zebrafish. Moreover, Pro-S presents a good effect of anti-inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells. This work provides a new idea for the design of H2S donors, which may be beneficial to the comprehension of the potential mechanism of inflammation and optimization of treatment strategies.

Macrophages play a pivotal role in the inflammatory response to the zoonotic pathogen E. coli, responsible for causing enteric infections. While considerable research has been conducted to comprehend the pathogenesis of this disease, scant attention devoted to host-derived H2S. Herein, we reported that E. coli infection enhanced the expression of CSE in macrophages, accompanied by a significantly increased inflammatory response. This process may be mediated by the involvement of excessive autophagy. Inhibition of AMPK or autophagy with pharmacological inhibitors could alleviate the inflammation. Additionally, cell model showed that the mRNA expression of classic inflammatory factors (Il-1β, Il-6), macrophage polarization markers (iNOS, Arg1) and ROS production was significantly down-regulated after employing CSE specific inhibitor PAG. And PAG is capable of inhibiting excessive autophagy through the LKB1-AMPK-ULK1 axis. Interestingly, exogenous H2S could suppress inflammation response. Our study emphasizes the importance of CSE in regulating the macrophage-mediated response to E. coli. Increased CSE in macrophages leads to excessive inflammation, which should be considered a new target for drug development to treat intestinal infection.

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) as the third gasotransmitter molecule serves various biological regulatory roles in health and disease. Acrylonitrile (AN) is a common occupational toxicant and environmental pollutant, causing brain and liver damage in mammals. The biotransformation of AN is dependent-upon reduced glutathione (GSH), cysteine and other sulfur-containing compounds. However, the effects of AN on the endogenous H 2 S biosynthesis pathway have yet to be determined. Herein, we demonstrated that a single exposure to AN (at 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg for 1, 6 or 24 h) decreased the endogenous H 2 S content and H 2 S-producing capacity in a dose-dependent manner, both in the cerebral cortex and liver of rats in vivo . In addition, the inhibitory effects of AN (1, 2.5, 5, 10 mM for 12 h) on the H 2 S content and/or the expression of H 2 S-producing enzymes were also found both in primary rat astrocytes and rat liver cell line (BRL cells). Impairment in the H 2 S biosynthesis pathway was also assessed in primary rat astrocytes treated with AN. It was found that inhibition of the cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS)/3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MPST)-H 2 S pathway with the CBS inhibitor or 3-MPST-targeted siRNA significantly increased the AN-induced (5 mM for 12 h) cytotoxicity in astrocytes. In turn, CBS activation or 3-MPST overexpression as well as exogenous NaHS supplementation significantly attenuated AN-induced cytotoxicity. Taken together, endogenous H 2 S biosynthesis pathway was disrupted in rats acutely exposed to AN, which contributes to acute AN neurotoxicity in primary rat astrocytes.

Background: H2S is the third gas transmitter affecting the growth, reproduction and survival of cancer cells. However, the H2S anticancer and antitumor mechanism still needs to be further studied. Methods: Here, FHS-1 was synthesized utilizing excited-state intramolecular proton transfer to detect H2S in MCF-7 cells, and investigated the effects of varying concentrations NaHS on apoptosis. Results: The study found that FHS-1 detects H2S levels with high selectivity and pH stability and that H2S may regulate apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through the p53/mTOR/STAT3 pathway. Conclusion: Researching the influence of H2S on apoptosis can serve as a theoretical foundation for future research into H2S-related anticancer medicines, and the H2S probe can be used as an effective cancer screening tool.Graphical abstract

Stent implantation remains a cornerstone of interventional cardiology, providing a minimally invasive solution to restore blood flow in occluded vessels. However, current stents face persistent challenges in simultaneously preventing neointimal hyperplasia and promoting reendothelialization, compromising their long-term efficacy. To address these limitations, we developed an in situ H2S-releasing polymer brush-coated stent that actively modulates material–blood interactions, creating a favorable microenvironment for vascular healing. H2S enhances the stent’s antithrombotic properties by inhibiting fibrinogen binding and platelet activation, while also mitigating oxidative stress and promoting macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. In vivo, the H2S-releasing stents significantly improved vascular healing by accelerating endothelialization and inhibiting smooth muscle cell overproliferation, resulting in a thinner neointima with functional endothelial coverage. Transcriptomic analysis further elucidated the underlying mechanisms, revealing H2S-mediated modulation of key biological pathways that support vascular healing. These findings underscore the potential of in situ H2S release as an effective strategy for optimizing vascular implants and improving long-term outcomes.

The continuous increase in industrial exhaust emissions has led to rising atmospheric hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations, posing significant threats to both environmental safety and human health. In this study, four morphologically distinct Fe2O3-based gas sensors were synthesized via different surfactantassisted hydrothermal method, among which the nanorod-structured Fe2O3 exhibited optimal sensing properties. Loading CuO into this form of iron oxide sensing material to construct p-n heterojunctions, with systematic investigation of the influence of varying CuO loading concentrations on sensor performance. Systematic investigation revealed that CuO modification significantly improved the sensor response characteristics. The optimized sensor with 15 wt% CuO loading demonstrated exceptional performance, exhibiting an ultrahigh response value of 1780 toward 100 ppm H2S at the operating temperature of 125°C, along with a rapid response time of 9 s. It provides a reasonable idea for the design of highly responsive hydrogen sulfide sensors.

Metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived pure ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO nanocages were fabricated by calcining a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8) and Cu-doped ZIF-8. The morphology and crystal structure of the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It was found that Cu doping did not change the crystal structures and morphologies of MOF-derived ZnO nanocages. The H2S-sensing properties of the sensors based on ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO nanocages were investigated. The results indicated that the H2S-sensing properties of MOF-derived ZnO nanocages were effectively improved by Cu doping, and the optimal doping content was 3 at%. Moreover, 3 at% Cu-doped ZnO nanocages showed the highest response of 4733 for 5 ppm H2S at 200 °C, and the detection limit could be as low as 20 ppb. The gas-sensing mechanism was also discussed.Keywords:MOF-derived ZnO;nanocages;Cu doping;H2S sensing

Wearable electronics based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) capable of monitoring various environmental pollutants is a promising approach for realizing gas sensing of chemical information. However, their sensing application combined with electronic textile with breathable, washable and flexible features has not been completely established yet. Herein, we describe a facile and effective strategy to fabricate flexible gas sensor for rapidly detecting hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) through integrating NO 2 -UiO-66 on electrospun nanofibers membrane (NO 2 -UiO-66 NM) firmly and uniformly. Different from the inherent brittleness and poor processability of powder MOFs, the achieved NO 2 -UiO-66 NM delivers enhanced porosity and surface area, outstanding flexibility, desirable breathability, stable to washing and strong accessibility, more suitable for practical applications. Consequently, the fabricated NO 2 -UiO-66 NM sensor exhibits a significantly high detection selectivity for H 2 S among various analytes (H 2 S, SO 2 , C 6 H 6 , CO and NH 3 ) and remarkable sensitivity for H 2 S with unprecedentedly ultralow detection limit reaching down to 10 ppb. Moreover, the sensing performance can be greatly remained after around five weeks at concentration down to 1 ppm; also, there are slight impact of deformation on sensing activities, revealing superior H 2 S sensing stability. This study offers a feasible solution to develop electronic textiles for chemical sensing application.

Amine-modified MCM-41 adsorbents (APTMS/MCM-41, PEI/MCM-41 and AAPTS/MCM-41) were prepared and characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, FT-IR, TEM, SEM and TG-DTA. The performance of each adsorbent in a fixed adsorption bed for H2S removal was measured using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide gases. It was found that the specific surface area decreased and the topography changed significantly after the use of each modified adsorbent. Nevertheless, all amine-modified MCM-41 adsorbents retained mesoporous silica of MCM-41. The H2S removal rate and saturated H2S capacity of APTMS/MCM-41 improved from 32.3% to 54.2% and 119.5 to 134.4 mg g−1, respectively, compared with that of MCM-41, and it showed the best performance among all adsorbents. APTMS/MCM-41, PEI/MCM-41 and AAPTS/MCM-41 were regenerated by maintaining at 423, 523 and 373 K in nitrogen for 3 h, respectively, and thus possessed high regenerability.

Pristine and vanadium-doped In 2 O 3 nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning and their sensing properties to H 2 S gas were studied. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to investigate the inner structure and the surface morphology . The H 2 S-sensing performances were characterized at different temperatures ranging from 50 to 170 °C. The sensor based on 6 mol% V-doped In 2 O 3 nanofibers exhibit the highest response, i.e. 13.9–50 ppm H 2 S at the relatively low temperature of 90 °C. In addition, the fast response (15 s) and recovery (18 s) time, and good selectivity were observed.

It is well known that the metal atoms of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) exhibit significant activity in gas sensing. However, limited by the shielding effect of the outer oxygen atom layer, layered MoO 3 is often difficult to show ideal gas adsorption activity. Hence, the MoO 3 microporous nanoflowers (MPNFs) assembled by porous two-dimensional nanosheets were successfully synthesized and exhibited excellent gas sensing performance to H 2 S, and the response was 7.2 times higher than that of simple MoO 3 nanosheets. The abundant pores of MoO 3 MPNFs were due to the influence of the crystal cell shrinkage effect on the atomic arrangement, while the significantly enhanced gas sensing performance was attributed to the positive effect of the microporous structure on gas diffusion and the exposed edge Mo atoms. This was confirmed by DFT calculation results that, compared to the Mo atoms on the surface of MoO 3 nanosheets, the Mo atoms around the pores were exposed because they broke through the shielding effect of the oxygen atom layer and exhibited higher adsorption activity for H 2 S and O 2 molecules. Therefore, this work can shed a light on the design of high-performance gas sensors based on metal oxides .
