Over the past decade, hydrogen sulfide has emerged as an important cardioprotective molecule with potential for clinical applications. Although several pathways have been proposed to mediate the beneficial effects of H2S, the NO/cGMP axis has attracted significant attention. Recent evidence has suggested that cGMP-dependent protein kinase can lie both downstream and upstream of H2S. The current literature on this topic is reviewed and data from recent studies are integrated to propose a unifying model.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
