Hydrogen sulphide in the hypothalamus causes an ATP-sensitive K+ channel-dependent decrease in blood pressure in freely moving rats

Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a naturally occurring gas that may act as an endogenous signaling molecule. In the brain, H2S is mainly produced by cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and its cellular effects have been attributed to interactions with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). In contrast, direct vasodilator actions of H2S are most probably mediated by opening smooth muscle ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channels. In the hypothalamus, K(ATP) channel-dependent mechanisms are involved in CNS-mediated regulation of blood pressure. In this report, we investigated the hypothesis that H2S may act via K(ATP) channels in the hypothalamus to regulate blood pressure. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate were monitored in freely moving rats via a pressure transducer placed in the femoral artery. Drugs were infused via a cannula placed in the posterior hypothalamus. Infusion of 200 microM sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS), an H2S donor, into the hypothalamus of freely moving rats reduced MAP and heart rate. Infusion of 300 nM to 3 microM gliclazide dose-dependently blocked the effect of 200 microM NaHS. Infusion of the CBS activator, s-adenosyl-L-methionine (0.1 mM and 1 mM), likewis...Continue Reading
