Research Abstract |
In human gastric cancer-derived AGS cells, our findings suggest that endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produced by cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE), one of H2S-forming enzymes in the mammalian body, accelerates the proliferation of AGS cells. The effects of H2S may be mediated, in part, by increase in function of Cav3.2 T-type calcium channels and upregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, via activation of NF-kappaB caused by endogenous H2S. These pathways can be expected to be effective targets for treatment of gastric cancer.
