Madden JA, Ahlf SB, Dantuma MW, Olson KR, Roerig DL. Precursors and inhibitors of hydrogen sulfide synthesis affect acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in the intact lung. J Appl Physiol 112: 411-418, 2012. First published November 10, 2011; doi: 10.1152/japplphysiol.01049.2011.-The effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and acute hypoxia are similar in isolated pulmonary arteries from various species. However, the involvement of H2S in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) has not been studied in the intact lung. The present study used an intact, isolated, perfused rat lung preparation to examine whether adding compounds essential to H2S synthesis or to its inhibition would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the magnitude of HPV. Western blots performed in lung tissue identified the presence of the H2S-synthesizing enzymes, cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfur transferase (3-MST), but not cystathionine gamma-synthase (CBS). Adding three H2S synthesis precursors, cysteine and oxidized or reduced glutathione, to the perfusate significantly increased peak arterial pressure during hypoxia compared with control (P < 0.05). Adding alpha-ketoglutarate to enhance the 3-MST enzyme pathway also resulted in an increase (P < 0.05). Both aspartate, which inhibits the 3-MST synthesis pathway, and propargylglycine (PPG), which inhibits the CSE pathway, significantly reduced the increases in arterial pressure during hypoxia. Diethylmaleate (DEM), which conjugates sulfhydryls, also reduced the peak hypoxic arterial pressure at concentrations > 2 mM. Finally, H2S concentrations as measured with a specially designed polarographic electrode decreased markedly in lung tissue homogenate and in small pulmonary arteries when air was added to the hypoxic environment of the measurement chamber. The results of this study provide evidence that the rate of H2S synthesis plays a role in the magnitude of acute HPV in the isolated perfused rat lung.
