Fe(II)EDTA can remove NO efficiently, but it has not been industrially applied. This is because the oxygen present in the flue gas will oxidize Fe(II)EDTA and Fe(II)EDTA-NO to Fe(III)EDTA and deactivate them. In order to solve this problem, this paper innovatively proposes to use NaHS to reduce Fe(III) EDTA, because NaHS has high reducing ability and low price. Therefore, a series of experimental conditions were explored in order to obtain the best reaction setup. The results indicate that increasing the concentrations of NaHS, temperature, and pH enhances the rate of NaHS reduction. The mechanism of the increase in reduction rate was studied in depth using potentiometric titration. It was found that an increase in OH - concentration will generate S 8 precipitate, which is beneficial to the forward progress of the reaction and promotes the large-scale production of the active component Fe 2+ . Oxygen is an inevitable factor in actual flue gas, so this study innovatively proposed a kinetic model under aerobic conditions and used this model to predict the trend of Fe(III)EDTA reduction by NaHS. On this basis, NO removal experiments were conducted under high oxygen conditions. After 15 cycles, the reduction performance of NaHS was still very high, and the NO removal rate was higher than 70%. The reason for this phenomenon is that the stabilizer exists in a form that is conducive to the removal of NO by the active component Fe 2+ . Therefore, this study provides theoretical guidance for promoting the industrial application of Fe(II) EDTA technology for NO removal.

Since its discovery as a third unique gaseous signal molecule, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has been extensively employed to resist stress and control pathogens. Nevertheless, whether H 2 S can prevent tobacco bacterial wilt is unknown yet. We evaluated the impacts of the H 2 S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) on the antibacterial activity, morphology, biofilm, and transcriptome of R. solanacearum to understand the effect and mechanism of NaHS on tobacco bacterial wilt. In vitro, NaHS significantly inhibited the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum and obviously altered its cell morphology. Additionally, NaHS significantly inhibited the biofilm formation and swarming motility of R. solanacearum , and reduced the population of R. solanacearum invading tobacco roots. In field experiments, the application of NaHS dramatically decreased the disease incidence and index of tobacco bacterial wilt, with a control efficiency of up to 89.49%. The application of NaHS also influenced the diversity and structure of the soil microbial community. Furthermore, NaHS markedly increased the relative abundances of beneficial microorganisms, which helps prevent tobacco bacterial wilt. These findings highlight NaHS's potential and efficacy as a powerful antibacterial agent for preventing tobacco bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum .

Prunus salicina ‘Wushan plum’ is a climacteric fruit, which rapidly ripens under the action of ethylene after harvesting, resulting in quality deterioration that seriously restricts the sustainable development of the industry. In order to examine the potential role of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, the donor of exogenous H 2 S) in slowing down the ripening and senescence process of plum fruit, the changes in storage quality, antioxidant capacity, endogenous signals and gene expression levels were evaluated during storage at 25 °C for twelve days. The results indicated that NaHS treatment delayed the coloration of plum fruit and maintained higher firmness, titratable acid content (TA) and marketable fruit rate. Treatment with NaHS increased the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX); promoted the accumulation of total phenols (TP) and ascorbic acid (AsA), and inhibited the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipoxygenase (LOX) activity, which in turn alleviated oxidative damage. H 2 S treatment down-regulated the expression of PsACO1 and PsACS1 and inhibited the production of ethylene; up-regulated the expression of PsSiR , PsSAT , PsOASTL, and PsLCD , which in turn elevated the activities of sulfite reductase (SiR), serine acetyltransferase (SAT), O-acetylserine cleavage lyase (OASTL), and L-cysteine desulfurylase (LCD), and facilitated the accumulation of the endogenous H 2 S content; up-regulated the expression of L-Arginine synthesis-related genes and PsNOA , which increased the content of L-Arginine as well as the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and facilitated the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO). The above results indicated that NaHS could improve the antioxidant system, endogenous H 2 S, ethylene, and NO metabolism of plum, thus maintaining the storage quality of the fruit.

It is difficult to depress secondary copper sulfide minerals in the separative flotation of copper–molybdenum coexisting ores with a huge NaHS consumption, and causing serious safety and environmental problems. Galvanic interaction between active metallic granular (low consumption depressant; LCD) and secondary copper sulfide mineral particles can induce surface passivation, thereby depressing its floatability and achieving clean and efficient regulation of copper molybdenum separation. The use of 10% LCD was applied at the first stage and 5 kg/t NaHS at the second stage can recover 89.71% of Cu, while only 52.89% of Cu can be recovered for single stage flotation where 20 kg/t NaHS was used without any presence of LCD. To avoid the negative effect of Mg(OH) 2 colloids at higher pH at the second stage, sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was added as a dispersant and Mo recovery could be pulled up to 89.63%.

Obesity has become a public health epidemic worldwide and is associated with many diseases with high mortality including hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. High-fat diet (HFD)-induced energy imbalance is one of the primary causes of obesity, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Our study showed that HFD reduced the level of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and its catalytic enzyme cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) in mouse hypothalamus and plasma. We found that HFD activated mTOR, IKK/NF-κB, the main pathway regulating inflammation. Activation of inflammatory pathway promoted the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α, which caused cell damage and loss in the hypothalamus. The disturbance of the hypothalamic neuron circuits resulted in body weight gain in HFD-induced mice. Importantly, we also showed that restoration of H 2 S level with NaHS or activation of CBS with SAMe attenuated HFD-induced activation of mTOR, IKK/NF-κB signaling, which reduced the inflammation and the neuronal cell loss in the hypothalamus, and also inhibited body weight gain in mice. The same effects were obtained by inhibiting mTOR or NF-κB, which suggested that mTOR and NF-κB were the critical molecular factors involved in hypothalamic inflammation. Taken together, this study identified that HFD-induced hypothalamus inflammation plays a critical role in the development of obesity. Moreover, the inhibition of hypothalamic inflammation by regaining H 2 S level could be a potential therapeutic to prevent the development of obesity. Graphical abstract

Purpose Melanomas are highly malignant and rapidly develop drug resistance due to dysregulated apoptosis. Therefore, pro-apoptotic agents could be effective for the management of melanoma. Hydrogen sulfide is ubiquitous in the body, and exogenous hydrogen sulfide has been reported to show inhibitory and pro-apoptotic effects on cancer cells. However, whether high concentrations of exogenous hydrogen sulfide have pro-apoptotic effects on melanoma and its mechanisms remain unknown. Hence, this study aimed to explore the pro-apoptotic effects and mechanisms of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on the A375 melanoma cell line treated with a hydrogen sulfide donor (NaHS).Methods The cell proliferation test, flow cytometric analysis, Hoechst 33258 staining, and Western blotting of B-cell lymphoma 2 and cleaved caspase-3 were used to explore the pro-apoptotic effects of hydrogen sulfide on A375 cells. The transcriptional profile of NaHS-treated A375 cells was further explored via high-throughput sequencing. Western blotting of phosphorylated inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (p‐IRE1α), phosphorylated protein kinase R-like ER kinase (p-PERK), phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α), C/EBP homologous protein, glucose-regulating protein 78, IRE1α, PERK, and eIF2α was performed to verify the changes in the transcriptional profile.Results NaHS inhibited A375 melanoma cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. The endoplasmic reticulum stress unfolded protein response and apoptosis-associated gene expression was upregulated in NaHS-treated A375 melanoma cells. The overactivation of the unfolded protein response and increase in endoplasmic reticulum stress was verified at the protein level.Conclusion Treatment with NaHS increased endoplasmic reticulum stress, which triggered the overactivation of the unfolded protein response and ultimately lead to melanoma cell apoptosis. The pro-apoptotic effect of NaHS suggests that it can be explored as a potential therapeutic agent in melanoma.

H2S is produced mainly by two enzymes:cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), using L-cysteine (L-Cys) as the substrate. In this study, we investigated the role of H2S in gastric accommodation using CBS(+/-) mice, immunohistochemistry, immunoblot, methylene blue assay, intragastric pressure (IGP) recording and electrical field stimulation (EFS). Mouse gastric fundus expressed H2S-generating enzymes (CBS and CSE) and generated detectable amounts of H2S. The H2S donor, NaHS or L-Cys, caused a relaxation in either gastric fundus or body. The gastric compliance was significantly increased in the presence of L-Cys (1 mM). On the contrary, AOAA, an inhibitor for CBS, largely inhibited gastric compliance. Consistently, CBS(+/-) mice shows a lower gastric compliance. However, PAG, a CSE inhibitor, had no effect on gastric compliances. L-Cys enhances the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) relaxation of fundus strips, but AOAA reduces the magnitude of relaxations to EFS. Notably, the expression level of CBS but not CSE protein was elevated after feeding. Consistently, the production of H2S was also increased after feeding in mice gastric fundus. In addition, AOAA largely reduced food intake and body weight in mice. Furthermore, a metabolic aberration of H2S was found in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). In conclusion, endogenous H2S, a novel gasotransmitter, involves in gastric accommodation.

Thymic egress is a crucial process for thymocyte maturation, strictly regulated by sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase (S1PL). Recently, cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), one of the enzymes producing hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), has emerged as a vital immune process regulator. However, the molecular connection between CSE, H 2 S and thymic egress remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the regulatory function of CSE in the thymic egress of immune cells. We showed that genetic knockout of CSE or pharmacological inhibition by CSE enzyme inhibitor NSC4056 or D , L -propargylglycine (PAG) significantly enhanced the migration of mature lymphocytes and monocytes from the thymus to the peripheral blood, and this redistribution effect could be reversed by treatment with NaHS, an exogenous donor of H 2 S. In addition, the CSE-generated H 2 S significantly increased the levels of S1P in the peripheral blood, thymus and spleen of mice, suppressed the production of proinflammatory cytokines and rescued pathogen-induced sepsis in cells and in vivo. Notably, H 2 S or polysulfide inhibited S1PL activity in cells and an in vitro purified enzyme assay. We found that this inhibition relied on a newly identified C 203 XC 205 redox motif adjacent to the enzyme’s active site, shedding light on the biochemical mechanism of S1PL regulation. In conclusion, this study uncovers a new function and mechanism for CSE-derived H 2 S in thymic egress and provides a potential drug target for treating S1P-related immune diseases.

Studies have reported attenuation of insulin resistance (IR) by improving phosphorylation of the insulin signalling pathway. However, the upstream molecular signalling pathway is still elusive. In this study, Western blot was used to evaluate the phosphorylation level of the insulin signalling pathway and the AMPK pathway. 2-NBDG was used to evaluate glucose uptake. Ca 2+ imaging was used to assess change of intracellular Ca 2+ concentration. We found that NaHS enhanced the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration and glucose uptake and activated the insulin signalling cascade in a palmitic acid (PA)-induced IR model in C2C12 cells. Furthermore, activation of the IRS1/PI3K/AKT pathway and glucose uptake were decreased when AMPK or CaMKKβ was inhibited. Our study also showed that the mitochondrial electron transport chain, ATP production, and intramitochondrial cAMP declined in the IR model but that this effect was reversed by NaHS, an effect that may be mediated by the Ca 2+ /CaMKK2/AMPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. Our data indicate that H 2 S improves activation of the insulin signalling cascade and glucose uptake via activation of the Ca 2+ /CaMKK2/AMPK pathway and mitochondrial metabolism in C2C12 cells. Furthermore, NaHS protects mitochondrial function and maintains normal ATP production by activating the cAMP system and the Ca 2+ /CaMKK2/AMPK and PI3K/ATK pathways.

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an important indicator for clinical diagnosis of liver dysfunction, organophosphate toxicity, and poststroke dementia. Point-of-care testing (POCT) of BChE activity is still a challenge, which is a critical requirement for the modern clinical diagnose. A portable photothermal BChE assay is proposed through modulating the photothermal effects of Cu 2 O nanoparticles. BChE can catalyze the decomposition of butyrylcholine, producing thiocholine, which further reduce and coordinate with CuO on surface of Cu 2 O nanoparticle. This leads to higher efficiency of formation of Cu 9 S 8 nanoparticles, through the reaction between Cu 2 O nanoparticle and NaHS, together with the promotion of photothermal conversion efficiency from 3.1 to 59.0%, under the excitation of 1064 nm laser radiation. An excellent linear relationship between the temperature change and the logarithm of BChE concentration is obtained in the range 1.0 to 7.5 U/mL, with a limit of detection of 0.076 U/mL. In addition, the portable photothermal assay shows strong detection robustness, which endows the accurate detection of BChE in human serum, together with the screening and quantification of organophosphorus pesticides. Such a simple, sensitive, and robust assay shows great potential for the applications to clinical BChE detection and brings a new horizon for the development of temperature based POCT.
