Abstract

The reaction of hydrogen sulfide (H S) with peroxynitrite (a key mediator in numerous pathological states) was studied in vitro and in different cellularmodels. The results show that H S can scavenge peroxynitrite with a corresponding second order rate constant of 3.3±0.4×10 M · s at 23°C (8± 2×10 M · s at 37°C). Activation parameters for the reaction (ΔH‡, ΔS‡ and ΔV‡) revealed that the mechanism is rather associative than multi-step free-radical as expected for other thiols. This is in agreement with a primary formation of a new reaction product characterized by spectral and computational studies as HSNO (thionitrate), predominantly present as sulfinyl nitrite, HS(O)NO. This is the first time a thionitrate has been shown to be generated under biologically relevant conditions. The potential of HS(O)NO to serve as a NO donor in a pH-dependent manner and its ability to release NO inside the cells has been demonstrated. Thus sulfide modulates the chemistry and biological effects of peroxynitrite by its scavenging and formation of a new chemical entity (HSNO ) with the potential to release NO, suppressing the pro-apoptotic, oxidative and nitrative properties of peroxynitrite. Physiological concentrations of H S abrogated peroxynitrite-induced cell damage as demonstrated by the: (i) inhibition of apoptosis and necrosis caused by peroxynitrite; (ii) prevention of protein nitration; and (iii) inhibition of PARP-1 [poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1] activation in cellular models, implying that a major part of the cytoprotective effects of hydrogen sulfide may be mediated by modulation of peroxynitrite chemistry, in particular under inflammatory conditions. © The Authors Journal compilation © 2012 Biochemical Society.
