Stem Cell Therapy and Hydrogen Sulfide: Conventional or Nonconventional Mechanisms of Action?

Conclusions: Knocking down conventional H2S-producing enzymes only impacted gas production in normoxic conditions. When cells were transfected in hypoxic conditions, as would be expected in the ischemic intestines, H2S gas was not depressed. These data, along with unchanged perfusion and histological injury parameters with conventional enzyme knockdown, would indicate that alternative H2S production pathways may be initiated during hypoxic and/or ischemic events.
