NaHS restores the vascular alterations in the renin-angiotensin system induced by hyperglycemia in rats

Hyperglycemia (HG) impairs the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which may contribute to vascular dysfunction. Besides, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exerts beneficial cardiovascular effects in metabolic diseases. Therefore, our study aimed to determine the effects of chronic administration of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS; inorganic H2S donor) and DL-Propargylglycine [DL-PAG; cystathionine-ץ-lyase (CSE) inhibitor] on the RAS-mediated vascular responses impairments observed in thoracic aortas from male diabetic Wistar rats. For that purpose, neonatal rats were divided into two groups that received: 1) citrate buffer (n = 12) or 2) streptozotocin (STZ, 70 mg/kg; n = 48) on the third postnatal day. After 12 weeks, diabetic animals were divided into 4 subgroups (n = 12 each) that received daily i.p. injections during 4 weeks of: 1) non-treatment; 2) vehicle (PBS, 1 mL/kg); 3) NaHS (5.6 mg/kg); and 4) DL-PAG (10 mg/kg). After treatments (16 weeks), blood glucose, angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)], and angiotensin II (Ang II) levels, vascular responses to Ang-(1-7) and Ang II, and the expression of angiotensin AT1, AT2, and Mas receptors, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE type 2 (ACE2) were determined. HG induced: 1) increased blood glucose levels and expression of angiotensin II AT1 receptor; 2) impaired Ang-(1-7) and Ang II mediated vascular responses; 3) decreased angiotensin levels and expression of angiotensin II AT2 and angiotensin-(1-7) Mas receptors, and ACE2; and 4) no changes in ACE expression. Interestingly, NaHS, but not DL-PAG, reversed HG-induced impairments, except for blood glucose level changes. These results suggest that NaHS restores vascular function in streptozotocin-induced HG through RAS modulation.
