The chemical interaction of sodium sulfide (Na2S) with the NO-donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) has been described to generate new reaction products, including polysulfides and nitrosopersulfide (SSNO-) via intermediacy of thionitrous acid (HSNO). The aim of the present work was to investigate the vascular effects of the longer-lived products of the Sulfide/GSNO interaction. Here we show that the products of this reaction relax precontracted isolated rings of rat thoracic aorta and mesenteric artery (but to a lesser degree rat uterus) with a >2-fold potency compared with the starting material, GSNO (50?nM), whereas Na2S and polysulfides have little effect at 1-5?µM. The onset of vasorelaxation of the reaction products was 7-10 times faster in aorta and mesenteric arteries compared with GSNO. Relaxation to GSNO (100-500?nM) was blocked by an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase, ODQ (0.1 and 10?µM), and by the NO scavenger cPTIO (100?µM), but less affected by prior acidification (pH 2-4), and unaffected by N-acetylcysteine (1?mM) or methemoglobin (20?µM heme). By contrast, relaxation to the Sulfide/GSNO reaction products (100-500?nM based on the starting material) was inhibited to a lesser extent by ODQ, only slightly decreased by cPTIO, more markedly inhibited by methemoglobin and N-acetylcysteine, and abolished by acidification before addition to the organ bath. The reaction mixture was found to generate NO as detected by EPR spectroscopy using N-(dithiocarboxy)-N-methyl-D-glucamine (MGD2)-Fe2+ as spin trap. In conclusion, the Sufide/GSNO reaction products are faster and more pronounced vasorelaxants than GSNO itself. We conclude that in addition to NO formation from SSNO-, reaction products other than polysulfides may give rise to nitroxyl (HNO) and be involved in the pronounced relaxation induced by the Sulfide/GSNO cross-talk.

Abstract

The chemical interaction of sodium sulfide (Na2S) with the NO-donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) has been described to generate new reaction products, including polysulfides and nitrosopersulfide (SSNO-) via intermediacy of thionitrous acid (HSNO). The aim of the present work was to investigate the vascular effects of the longer-lived products of the Sulfide/GSNO interaction. Here we show that the products of this reaction relax precontracted isolated rings of rat thoracic aorta and mesenteric artery (but to a lesser degree rat uterus) with a >2-fold potency compared with the starting material, GSNO (50?nM), whereas Na2S and polysulfides have little effect at 1-5?µM. The onset of vasorelaxation of the reaction products was 7-10 times faster in aorta and mesenteric arteries compared with GSNO. Relaxation to GSNO (100-500?nM) was blocked by an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase, ODQ (0.1 and 10?µM), and by the NO scavenger cPTIO (100?µM), but less affected by prior acidification (pH 2-4), and unaffected by N-acetylcysteine (1?mM) or methemoglobin (20?µM heme). By contrast, relaxation to the Sulfide/GSNO reaction products (100-500?nM based on the starting material) was inhibited to a lesser extent by ODQ, only slightly decreased by cPTIO, more markedly inhibited by methemoglobin and N-acetylcysteine, and abolished by acidification before addition to the organ bath. The reaction mixture was found to generate NO as detected by EPR spectroscopy using N-(dithiocarboxy)-N-methyl-D-glucamine (MGD2)-Fe2+ as spin trap. In conclusion, the Sufide/GSNO reaction products are faster and more pronounced vasorelaxants than GSNO itself. We conclude that in addition to NO formation from SSNO-, reaction products other than polysulfides may give rise to nitroxyl (HNO) and be involved in the pronounced relaxation induced by the Sulfide/GSNO cross-talk.
