Hydrogen sulfide is an endogenous modulator of leukocyte‐mediated inflammation
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is increasingly recognized as an important signaling molecule in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Recently, H2S donors were reported to induce neutrophil apoptosis and… Expand

Inhibition of hydrogen sulfide generation contributes to gastric injury caused by anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), an endogenous gaseous mediator that causes vasodilation, is generated in mammalian tissues by cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and… Expand

The Bile Acid Receptor FXR Is a Modulator of Intestinal Innate Immunity1
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid-regulated nuclear receptor expressed in enterohepatic tissues. In this study we investigated whether FXR is expressed by cells of innate immunity and… Expand

The emerging roles of hydrogen sulfide in the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
Hydrogen sulfide, like nitric oxide, was best known as a toxic pollutant before becoming recognized as a key regulator of several physiologic processes. In recent years, evidence has accumulated to… Expand

Evidence That Hydrogen Sulfide Exerts Antinociceptive Effects in the Gastrointestinal Tract by Activating KATP Channels
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) functions as a neuromodulator, but whether it modulates visceral perception and pain is unknown. Cystathionineβ -synthase (CBS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) mediate… Expand

The Bile Acid Receptor GPBAR-1 (TGR5) Modulates Integrity of Intestinal Barrier and Immune Response to Experimental Colitis
Background GP-BAR1, a member G protein coupled receptor superfamily, is a cell surface bile acid-activated receptor highly expressed in the ileum and colon. In monocytes, ligation of GP-BAR1 by… Expand

Enhanced activity of a hydrogen sulphide‐releasing derivative of mesalamine (ATB‐429) in a mouse model of colitis
Mesalamine is the first‐line therapy for colitis, but it lacks potency and is only effective for mild‐to‐moderate forms of this disease. Hydrogen sulphide has been shown to be a potent, endogenous… Expand

Bile Acid-Activated Receptors, Intestinal Microbiota, and the Treatment of Metabolic Disorders.
The composition of the bile acid pool is a function of the microbial metabolism of bile acids in the intestine. Perturbations of the microbiota shape the bile acid pool and modulate the activity of… Expand

Proteinase-activated receptor 2 is an anti-inflammatory signal for colonic lamina propria lymphocytes in a mouse model of colitis
The proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) is a member of a family of G protein-coupled receptors for proteases. Proteases cleave PARs within the extracellular N-terminal domains to expose tethered… Expand
