Chemico-biological interactions of sulfide and organosulfur compounds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Exposure of isolated hepatocytes to NaHS led to GSH depletion. CYP450 inhibitors were protective against NaHS toxicity and prevented GSH depletion. Methionine was protective against NaHS and its effect was overcome by inhibition of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase by adenosine. This suggests that S-adenosyhnethionine dependent methylation can detoxify H2S in the liver. The H 2O2 scavengers were protective against H2S toxicity. H2S induced ROS formation was dose dependent and pyruvate inhibited this ROS production. Nontoxic concentrations of H2S enhanced the cytotoxicity of H2O2 generated by glucose/glucose oxidase, which was inhibited by CYP450 inhibitors. Furthermore hepatocyte ROS formation induced by H2S was decreased by CYP450 inhibitors cimetidine and benzyleimidazole. Therefore CYP450-dependent metabolism of H2S is responsible for inducing ROS production. H2S induced cytotoxicity was preceded by mitochondrial depolarization. In this project, two aspects of the action of hydrogen sulfide and reactive sulfur species have been studied: cytotoxic and cytoprotective effects. Freshly isolated hepatocytes have been used in order to examine the prevalence and mechanisms of the different sulfide dependent processes that influence cell survival and death. Our hypothesis is that the exogenous application of high concentrations of HS and other reactive sulfur species to isolated hepatocytes in the presence of various modulators will provide a rapid mechanism dependent screen for ways in which reactive sulfur species can modulate cell survival and death. NaHS and/or garlic/onion derived organosulfur compounds, Allyl mercaptan (AM) and Propyl mercaptan (PM) protected hepatocytes against hydroquinone, methylbenzoquinone, and 5-hydroxynaphtoquinone. NaHS and mercaptans increased the cytotoxicity of tert-butylhydroquinone. Treatment of these benzoquinones with allyl mercaptan, propanethiol or NaHS led to formation of new compounds which by MS/MS analysis were identified as mercaptan conjugates of corresponding hydroquinones. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)H2S, allyl mercaptan (AM), propyl mercaptan (PM), diallyl disulfide (DADS) and diallyl sulfide (DAS) prevented hepatocyte toxicity induced by allyl alcohol, 1-bromoethanol and their toxic metabolites. MS/MS spectrometry revealed adduct formation between AM and/or PM with the acrolein and/or haloacetaldehyde formed by the metabolism of allyl alcohol and alpha-haloethanol. H 2S or garlic and onion mercaptans are cytoprotective by trapping toxic aldehyde metabolites and/or by preventing lipid peroxidation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
