Pharmacological Inhibition of Endogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Attenuates Breast Cancer Progression.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a gaseous signaling molecule, is associated with the development of various malignancies via modulating various cellular signaling cascades. Published research has established the fact that inhibition of endogenous H₂S production or exposure of H₂S donors is an effective approach against cancer progression. However, the effect of pharmacological inhibition of endogenous H₂S-producing enzymes (cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MPST)) on the growth of breast cancer (BC) remains unknown. In the present study, DL-propargylglycine (PAG, inhibitor of CSE), aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA, inhibitor of CBS), and L-aspartic acid (L-Asp, inhibitor of 3-MPST) were used
