Hydrogen sulfide-linked sulfhydration of NF-?B mediates its antiapoptotic actions.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) is an antiapoptotic transcription factor. We show that the antiapoptotic actions of NF-?B are mediated by hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) synthesized by cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE). TNF-? treatment triples H(2)S generation by stimulating binding of SP1 to the CSE promoter. H(2)S generated by CSE stimulates DNA binding and gene activation of NF-?B, processes that are abolished in CSE-deleted mice. As CSE deletion leads to decreased glutathione levels, resultant oxidative stress may contribute to alterations in CSE mutant mice. H(2)S acts by sulfhydrating the p65 subunit of NF-?B at cysteine-38, which promotes its binding to the coactivator ribosomal protein S3 (RPS3). Sulfhydration of p65 predominates early after TNF-? treatment, then declines and is succeeded by a reciprocal enhancement of p65 nitrosylation. In CSE mutant mice, antiapoptotic influences of NF-?B are markedly diminished. Thus, sulfhydration of NF-?B appears to be a physiologic determinant of its antiapoptotic transcriptional activity.

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is an antiapoptotic transcription factor. We show that the antiapoptotic actions of NF-κB are mediated by hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) synthesized by cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE). TNF-α treatment triples H(2)S generation by stimulating binding of SP1 to the CSE promoter. H(2)S generated by CSE stimulates DNA binding and gene activation of NF-κB, processes that are abolished in CSE-deleted mice.

Project description:The deacetylase SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) has emerged as a major regulator of nucleocytoplasmic distribution of macroautophagy/autophagy marker MAP1LC3/LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3). Activation of SIRT1 leads to the deacetylation of LC3 and its translocation from the nucleus into the cytoplasm leading to an increase in the autophagy flux. Notably, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a cytoprotective gasotransmitter known to activate SIRT1 and autophagy; however, the underlying mechanism for both remains unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that H2S sulfhydrates the active site cysteine of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase). Sulfhydration of GAPDH leads to its redistribution into the nucleus. Importantly, nuclear localization of GAPDH is critical for H2S-mediated activation of autophagy as H2S does not induce autophagy in cells with GAPDH ablation or cells overexpressing a GAPDH mutant lacking the active site cysteine. Importantly, we observed that nuclear GAPDH interacts with CCAR2/DBC1 (cell cycle activator a nd apoptosis regulator 2) inside the nucleus. CCAR2 interacts with the deacetylase SIRT1 to inhibit its activity. Interaction of GAPDH with CCAR2 disrupts the inhibitory effect of CCAR2 on SIRT1. Activated SIRT1 then deacetylates MAP1LC3B/LC3B (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta) to induce its translocation into the cytoplasm and activate autophagy. Additionally, we demonstrate this pathway's physiological role in autophagy-mediated trafficking of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into lysosomes to restrict intracellular mycobacteria growth. We think that the pathway described here could be involved in H2S-mediated clearance of intracellular pathogens and other health benefits.Abbreviations: ATG5: autophagy related 5; ATG7: autophagy related 7; BECN1: beclin 1, autophagy related; CCAR2/DBC1: cell cycle activator and apoptosis regulator 2; CFU: colony-forming units; DLG4/PSD95: discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 4; EX-527: 6-chloro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-1-carboxamide; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; H2S: hydrogen sulfide; HEK: human embryonic kidney cells; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MEF: mouse embryonic fibroblast; Mtb: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MOI: multiplicity of infection; NO: nitric oxide; PI3K: phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase; PLA: proximity ligation assay; PRKAA: protein kinase, AMP-activated, alpha catalytic subunit; SIAH1: siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1A; SIRT1: sirtuin 1; TB: tuberculosis; TP53INP2/DOR: transformation related protein 53 inducible nuclear protein 2; TRP53/TP53: transformation related protein 53.
