We have demonstrated that exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) protects H9c2 cardiac cells against the doxorubicin (DOX)-induced injuries by inhibiting p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and that the p38 MAPK/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway is involved in the DOX-induced inflammatory response and cytotoxicity. The present study attempts to test the hypothesis that exogenous H2S might protect cardiomyocytes against the DOX-induced inflammation and cytotoxicity through inhibiting p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway.
