    Abstract Protein persulfidation is a significant post-translational modification that involves addition of a sulfur atom to the cysteine thiol group and is facilitated by sulfide species. Persulfidation targets reactive cysteine residues within proteins, influencing their structure and/or function across various biological systems. This modification is evolutionarily conserved and plays a crucial role in preventing irreversible cysteine overoxidation, a process that becomes prominent with aging. While, persulfidation decreases with age, its levels in the aged heart and the functional implications of such a reduction in cardiac metabolism remain unknown. Here we interrogated the cardiac persulfydome in wild-type adult mice and age-matched mice lacking the two sulfide generating enzymes, namely cystathionine gamma lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST). Our findings revealed that cardiac persulfidated proteins in wild type hearts are less abundant compared to those in other organs, with a primary involvement in mitochondrial metabolic processes. We further focused on one specific target, NDUFB7, which undergoes persulfidation by both CSE and 3MST derived sulfide species. In particular, persulfidation of cysteines C80 and C90 in NDUFB7 protects the protein from overoxidation and maintains the complex I activity in cardiomyocytes. As the heart ages, the levels of CSE and 3MST in cardiomyocytes decline, leading to reduced NDUFB7 persulfidation and increased cardiac NADH/NAD+ ratio. Collectively, our data provide compelling evidence for a direct link between cardiac persulfidation and mitochondrial complex I activity, which is compromised in aging.

    Abstract The incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular disease is highest among the elderly. There is a need to further understand the mechanisms behind endothelial cell aging in order to achieve vascular rejuvenation and minimize the onset of age-related vascular diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proposed to regulate numerous processes in the human genome, yet their function in vascular aging and their therapeutic potential remain largely unknown. This is primarily because the majority of studies investigating the impact of aging on lncRNA expression heavily rely on

    Abstract Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an important regulator of coagulation and a link between inflammation and thrombosis. Here we investigated whether endothelial cell-driven oxidative post-translational modifications could have an impact on TFPI activity. We focused on S-sulfhydration, which is a hydrogen sulfide-dependent post-translational modification that, in endothelial cells, is regulated by the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE). The study made use of human primary endothelial cells and blood from healthy individuals or subjects with atherosclerosis as well as from mice lacking endothelial CSE. TFPI was S-sulfhydrated in endothelial cells from healthy individuals and mice, while the loss of endothelial CSE expression/activity reduced its modification. Non-S-sulfhydrated TFPI was no longer able to interact with factor Xa, which facilitated the activation of tissue factor. Similarly, non-S-sulfhydratable TFPI mutants bound less protein S, while supplementation with hydrogen sulfide donors, preserved TFPI activity. Phenotypically, loss of TFPI S-sulfhydration increased clot retraction, suggesting that this post-translational modification is a new endothelial cell-dependent mechanism that contributes to the regulation of blood coagulation.

    Abstract Despite increased public health awareness, atherosclerosis remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Significant variations in response to statin treatment have been noted among different populations suggesting that the efficacy of statins may be altered by both genetic and environmental factors. The existing literature suggests that certain long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) might be up- or downregulated among patients with atherosclerosis. LncRNA may act on multiple levels (cholesterol homeostasis, vascular inflammation, and plaque destabilization) and exert atheroprotective or atherogenic effects. To date, only a few studies have investigated the interplay between statins and lncRNAs known to be implicated in atherosclerosis. The current review characterizes the role of lncRNAs in atherosclerosis and summarizes the available evidence related to the effect of statins in regulating lncRNAs.

    Abstract Given the clinical, economic, and societal impact of obesity, unraveling the mechanisms of adipose tissue expansion remains of fundamental significance. We previously showed that white adipose tissue (WAT) levels of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MPST), a mitochondrial cysteine-catabolizing enzyme that yields pyruvate and sulfide species, are downregulated in obesity. Here, we report that Mpst deletion results in fat accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) through transcriptional and metabolic maladaptation. Mpst-deficient mice on HFD exhibit increased body weight and inguinal WAT mass, reduced metabolic rate, and impaired glucose/insulin tolerance. At the molecular level, Mpst ablation activates HIF1α, downregulates subunits of the translocase of outer/inner membrane (TIM/TOM) complex, and impairs mitochondrial protein import. MPST deficiency suppresses the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid oxidation, enhancing lipid accumulation. Sulfide donor administration to obese mice reverses the HFD-induced changes. These findings reveal the significance of MPST for white adipose tissue biology and metabolic health and identify a potential new therapeutic target for obesity.
