2-Aminoethanethiosulfonic S-Acid   中文名称: 硫代牛磺酸

Metabolic product of cystine

硫代牛磺酸是胱氨酸的代谢产物，含有一个可以以H（2）S形式释放的磺胺硫原子，这是一种对炎症反应具有调节活性的气体分子。通过测定人中性粒细胞中胱天蛋白酶-3的活性，评估了硫代牛磺酸对人白细胞自发凋亡的影响。添加100μM硫代牛磺酸可诱导55%的胱天蛋白酶-3活性抑制，类似于100μM H（2）S的抑制。有趣的是，在1mM GSH存在的情况下，观察到硫代牛磺酸对细胞凋亡的抑制作用增加。这些结果表明，谷胱甘肽可以调节硫代牛磺酸的生物活性，从而促进生成H（2）S和低牛磺酸的硫代磺酸盐的还原分解。由于硫代牛磺酸能够结合可逆还原的硫，因此认为这种硫代磺酸盐的生物合成可能是运输和储存H（2）S[1]的一种手段。

硫代牛磺酸是一种硫代磺酸盐化合物，在体液和组织中代谢产生一个硫原子。硫代牛磺酸是半胱氨酸代谢的有氧和无氧途径之间的相互连接分子。由于低牛磺酸和硫化物之间的反应而形成的硫代牛磺酸可以转化回H2S和低牛磺酸。因此，硫代牛磺酸可以被认为是一种安全、无毒的H2S储存形式，也是硫化物运输、储存和释放的生化途径中的重要关键中间体。硫烷含硫化合物有效地调节酶的活性并表现出抗氧化特性。有趣的是，硫代牛磺酸影响调节人类中性粒细胞功能反应的炎症过程，并对氧化损伤具有保护作用[2]。

硫代牛磺酸对人中性粒细胞自发凋亡的影响[1]
通过测量在37°C下预孵育3.5小时的中性粒细胞裂解物（5×106个细胞/mL）中的半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3活性来评估自发凋亡。当在硫代牛磺酸（TTAU）存在的情况下进行预孵育步骤时，观察到胱天蛋白酶-3活性的浓度依赖性降低（图19.1）。由于硫代牛磺酸含有一个可以作为H2S释放的硫烷硫原子，因此还评估了NaHS对半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3活性的影响。100μM硫代牛磺酸对半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3活性的降低为55±3%，与100μM NaHS（57±3%）的降低相似。对照实验（未显示）表明，浓度在0.01至0.2 mM范围内的TTAU和NaHS均不影响重组半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3的活性。

谷胱甘肽对硫代牛磺酸诱导的Caspase-3活性抑制的影响[1]
据报道，谷胱甘肽（GSH）通过影响半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3活性来调节中性粒细胞凋亡（O'Neill等人，2000）。这种效果归因于其抗氧化活性（Wedi等人，1999）。为了深入了解TTAU的抑制机制，将这种硫代磺酸盐对半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3活性的抑制作用与谷胱甘肽的抑制作用进行了比较（图19.2）。

These results indicate that the thiosulfonate, thiotaurine, may exert regulatory effects on inflammation influencing lifespan of human neutrophils. Mature circulating neutrophils are constitutively committed to apoptosis. During inflammatory response, survival of neutrophils recruited into the inflamed area is significantly prolonged. Increased survival in the inflamed tissue permits neutrophils to fulfill their effector functions most efficiently. On the other hand, macrophage-mediated elimination of apoptotic neutrophils from the inflamed area has been recognized as a crucial mechanism for promoting resolution of inflammation (Savill and Fadok 2000; Simon 2003). It is recognized that the production of reactive oxygen species by activated cells accelerate the apoptosis and that superoxide release is required for spontaneous apoptosis (Ottonello et al. 2002; Scheel-Toellner et al. 2004). Moreover, the spontaneous and FAS-mediated apoptosis are prevented by antioxidants, such as GSH (Wedi et al. 1999). This effect has been ascribed to the ability of GSH to scavenge reactive oxygen species (Watson et al. 1997). It has been also shown that thiotaurine is highly effective in counteracting the damaging effect of oxidants (Acharya and Lau-Cam 2012). Thus, it is possible that the delay of spontaneous apoptosis of human neutrophils by thiotaurine may be related to its antioxidant activity. On the other hand, our results show that the inhibitory effect of thiotaurine on caspase-3 activity was higher than that of GSH. Moreover thiotaurine, in the presence of GSH, is more effective in influencing neutrophil apoptosis. These findings suggest that alternative or additional mechanisms of inhibition can be involved. It is well-known that GSH can act as a catalyst of the reductive breakdown of thiotaurine with generation of hypotaurine and H2S (Chauncey and Westley 1983). Accordingly, we found that human neutrophils generate H2S from thiotaurine with GSH as a necessary reductant in the reaction. It has been previously reported that H2S promotes the short-term survival of neutrophils by inhibition of caspase-3 cleavage (Rinaldi et al. 2006). Our results confirm the effect of H2S on prolonging the survival of neutrophils. Hence, it is likely that the sulfane sulfur of thiotaurine released as H2S in the presence of GSH, may contribute to the observed effect on neutrophil survival.[1]

The biological relevance of thiotaurine in mammalian is still a challenge to biochemical research. Biological roles have been sporadically reported (Costa et al. 1990; Baskin et al. 2000). On the contrary, in some marine organisms a key role for thiotaurine in the transport of sulfur has been strongly demonstrated (Pruski et al. 2001; Pruski and Fiala-Médioni 2003). Morevover, the metabolic origin of thiotaurine in mammalians is subject to debate, as is its fate. One pathway for thiotaurine metabolism is via transulfuration reactions with hypotaurine being the main intermediate (Cavallini et al. 1961; De Marco and Tentori 1961). These reactions can be spontaneous or catalyzed by sulfur transferases (De Marco et al. 1961; Chauncey and Westley 1983). Our experiments show that hypotaurine is the main metabolite of thiotaurine with a 1:1 stoichiometry, suggesting a role of thiotaurine as a biochemical intermediate in the transport, storage, and release of sulfide also in mammalians. This hypothesis is further supported by the fact that hypotaurine, present in leukocytes at millimolar concentration (Learn et al. 1990), can readily incorporate H2S formed during inflammation with production of thiotaurine (De Marco and Tentori 1961).[1]

Since thiotaurine as well as hypotaurine, taurine, and H2S can modulate leukocyte functional responses, it would be worthy to investigate the metabolic and functional interplay between these sulfur compounds at inflammatory sites.[1]
