Hydrogen Sulfide and its Interaction with Other Players in Inflammation

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021;1315:129-159. doi: 10.1007/978-981-16-0991-6_6.ABSTRACTHydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a vital role in human physiology and in the pathophysiology of several diseases. In addition, a substantial role of H2S in inflammation has emerged. This chapter will discuss the involvement of H2S in various inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, the contribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS), adhesion molecules, and leukocyte recruitment in H2S-mediated inflammation will be discussed. The interrelationship of H2S with other gasotransmitters in inflammation will also be examined. There is mixed literature on the contribution of H2S to inflammation due to studies reporting both pro- and anti-inflammatory actions. These apparent discrepancies in the literature could be resolved with further studies.PMID:34302691 | DOI:10.1007/978-981-16-0991-6_6
