ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms whereby hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exerts the promoting effect on vascular endothelial cells migration. We used wound healing assay to study the effect of NaHS (H2S donor) on the migration ability of rhesus retinal pigment epithelial cell line, RF/6A cells, under normoxic conditions. Real-time PCR was used to measure hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) mRNA level. Western blot was used to measure the expression of HIF-1α protein. The probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) was used to measure intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. The results showed that NaHS (10-100 μmol/L) could significantly promote RF/6A cells migration under normoxic conditions, and this effect could be inhibited by 50 µmol/L HIF-1 inhibitor, CdCl2. NaHS increased the protein level of HIF-1α in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and up-regulated the mRNA level of HIF-1α quickly and continuously. Moreover, NaHS could significantly decrease ROS levels in RF/6A cells under normoxic conditions. These results suggest HIF-1 may mediate the promoting effect of H2S on vascular endothelial cells migration under normoxic conditions. ROS, as an upstream regulator of HIF-1α, may be involved in the migration-promoting effect of H2S.
