Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates a new mechanism for regulating protein function, focusing on how hydrogen sulfide (HS) interacts with the active-site copper of the enzyme Cu/Zn-SOD.
  • - Researchers used various methods like radiolabeled binding assays and crystallography to show that HS binding alters the forces and geometry at the active site, improving the reaction with superoxide radicals.
  • - The physiological role of HS was tested in both lab and live models, revealing that its cardioprotective effects rely on the enzyme Cu/Zn-SOD.

Skin wound healing tends to slow down with aging, which is detrimental to both minor wound recovery in daily life and the recovery after surgery. The aim of current study was to explore the effect of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) on wound healing during aging. Cultured human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and mouse full-thickness skin wound model were used to explore the functional changes of replicative senescent dermal fibroblasts and the effect of aging on skin wound healing.

This study aims to investigate the influence of excessive oxidative stress on cardiac injury during acute myocardial ischemia (AMI), with a focus on apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammatory cell infiltration, and to detect the role of hydrogen sulfide (HS) in this process. We found that SOD1 knockout (KO) mice showed excessive oxidative stress and exacerbated myocardium injury after AMI. Increased apoptosis and inflammation response in the ischemic myocardium contribute to this deterioration, whereas enhanced autophagy plays a protective role.
