We have investigated the vasoactive effects of the coupled nitro-sulfide signaling pathway in lobar arteries (LAs) isolated from the nephrectomized kidneys of cancer patients: normotensive patients (NT) and patients with arterial hypertension (AH). LAs of patients with AH revealed endothelial dysfunction, which was associated with an increased response to the exogenous NO donor, nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). The interaction of GSNO with the H 2 S donor triggered a specific vasoactive response. Unlike in normotensive patients, in patients with AH, the starting and returning of the vasorelaxation induced by the end-products of the H 2 S-GSNO interaction (S/GSNO) was significantly faster, however, without the potentiation of the maximum. Moreover, increasing glycemia shortened the time required to reach 50% of the maximum vasorelaxant response induced by S/GSNO products so modulating their final effect. Moreover, we found out that, unlike K+ channel activation, cGMP pathway and HNO as probable mediator could be involved in mechanisms of S/GSNO action. For the first time, we demonstrated the expression of genes coding H 2 S-producing enzymes in perivascular adipose tissue and we showed the localization of these enzymes in LAs of normotensive patients and in patients with AH. Our study confirmed that the heterogeneity of specific nitroso-sulfide vasoactive signaling exists depending on the occurrence of hypertension associated with increased plasma glucose level. Endogenous H 2 S and the end-products of the H 2 S-GSNO interaction could represent prospective pharmacological targets to modulate the vasoactive properties of human intrarenal arteries.
