Abstract

Gaseous mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) play a major regulatory role in the cardiovascular system homeostasis, including platelet aggregation. Here, we investigated whether hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a newly recognized endogenous mediator, can affects aggregation of human platelets, using sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) as H₂S-donor. NaHS inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, epinephrine, arachidonic acid, thromboxane mimetic, U46619, and thrombin. H₂S effect was not dependent by cAMP/cGMP generation, NO production or potassium-channels opening. NaHS concentrations (up to 10 mM) did not exert toxic effects on platelet viability. The possible protective role of endogenous H₂S in cardiovascular system is discussed.
