BACKGROUND: Therapeutic strategies aimed at increasing hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
levels exert cytoprotective effects in various models of cardiovascular injury.
However, the underlying mechanism(s) responsible for this protection remain to be
fully elucidated. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a cellular target
of H2S and facilitator of H2S-mediated cardioprotection after acute myocardial
infarction. Here, we tested the hypothesis that Nrf2 mediates the
cardioprotective effects of H2S therapy in the setting of heart failure. METHODS
AND RESULTS: Mice (12 weeks of age) deficient in Nrf2 (Nrf2 KO; C57BL/6J
background) and wild-type littermates were subjected to ischemic-induced heart
failure. Wild-type mice treated with H2S in the form of sodium sulfide (Na2S)
displayed enhanced Nrf2 signaling, improved left ventricular function, and less
cardiac hypertrophy after the induction of heart failure. In contrast, Na2S
therapy failed to provide protection against heart failure in Nrf2 KO mice.
Studies aimed at evaluating the underlying cardioprotective mechanisms found that
Na2S increased the expression of proteasome subunits, resulting in an increased
proteasome activity and a reduction in the accumulation of damaged proteins. In
contrast, Na2S therapy failed to enhance the proteasome and failed to attenuate
the accumulation of damaged proteins in Nrf2 KO mice. Additionally, Na2S failed
to improve cardiac function when the proteasome was inhibited. CONCLUSIONS: These
findings indicate that Na2S therapy enhances proteasomal activity and function
during the development of heart failure in an Nrf2-dependent manner and that this
enhancement leads to attenuation in cardiac dysfunction.
