ABSTRACT
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is previously described as a potentially lethal toxic gas. However, this gasotransmitter is also endogenously generated by the actions of cystathionine-ß-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) in mammalian systems, thus belonging to the family of gasotransmitters after nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). The physiological or pathological significance of H2S has been extensively expanded for decades. Growing evidence has revealed that H2S exerts cytoprotective functions in the cardiovascular, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems by modulating numerous signaling pathways. With the continuous advancement of microarray and next-generation sequencing technologies, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have gained recognition as key players in human health and diseases due to their considerable potential as predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Coincidentally, H2S and ncRNAs are not independent regulators but interact with each other during the development and progression of human diseases. Specifically, ncRNAs might serve as downstream mediators of H2S or act on H2S-generating enzymes to govern endogenous H2S production. The purpose of this review is to summarize the interactive regulatory roles of H2S and ncRNAs in the initiation and development of various diseases and explore their potential health and therapeutic benefits. This review will also highlight the importance of cross talk between H2S and ncRNAs in disease therapy.
