Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter recognized as an essential body product with a dual, biphasic action. It can function as an antioxidant and a cytoprotective, but also as a poison with a high probability of causing brain damage when present at noxious levels. In a previous study, we measured toxic liquoral levels of H₂S in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and in the familial ALS (fALS) mouse model, SOD1G93A. In addition, we experimentally demonstrated that H₂S is extremely and selectively toxic to motor neurons, and that it is released by glial cells and increases Ca 2+ concentration in motor neurons due to a lack of ATP. The presented study further examines the effect of toxic concentrations of H₂S on embryonic mouse spinal-cord cultures. We performed a proteomic analysis that revealed a significant H₂S-mediated activation of pathways related to oxidative stress and cell death, particularly the Nrf-2-mediated oxidative stress response and peroxiredoxins. Furthermore, we report that Na₂S (a stable precursor of H₂S) toxicity is, at least in part, reverted by the Bax inhibitor V5 and by necrostatin, a potent necroptosis inhibitor.
