Abstract

AbstractHydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important gaseous signaling molecule that regulates cardiovascular activity in animals. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a major integrative region involved in blood pressure (BP) regulation. We explored whether exogenous H2S application by intraperitoneal injection of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) alleviates BP increase induced by a high salt diet (HSD) and the role of PVN in Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl S) rats. Dahl S rats were divided into four groups according to diet regime (normal salt diet [NSD] and HSD) and treatment method (daily intraperitoneal NaHS or saline injection). We monitored BP, food and water intake, and body weight for 8 weeks. Plasma, kidney, and brain tissues were collected at the end of the experiment. We found that exogenous H2S not only delayed BP elevation but also attenuated the increase in the levels of norepinephrine, cystatin C, and blood urea nitrogen in the plasma of Dahl S rats with an HSD. Furthermore, H2S enhanced the total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase in the PVN. Exogenous H2S attenuated the protein expression of the nuclear factor-κB pathway and proinflammatory cytokines, which were significantly higher in the PVN in rats with an HSD than in rats with an NSD. Additionally, exogenous H2S relieved PVN neuronal apoptosis induced by an HSD. These findings suggest that exogenous H2S attenuates hypertension caused by an HSD by ameliorating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the PVN. This study provides evidence of the benefits of peripheral H2S therapy for hypertension.
