malfunction | inhibiting the enzyme activity with propargylglycine or silencing CSE expression using an siRNA approach results in a greater reduction in cell viability under exposure to the oxidizing agent hydrogen peroxide. Cellular oxidative stress also increases significantly upon propargylglycine inhibition or enzyme knockdown. Increased sensitivity towards H2O2-induced cytotoxicity in CSE-siRNAtransfected cells is associated with a decreased glutathione concentration (GSH) and glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG). Incubation of cells with exogenous H2S increases the GSH concentration and GSH/GSSG ratio | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | cystathionine gamma-lyase is an important enzyme responsible for endogenous H2S production in mammalian systems. Modulation of enzyme catalytic activity alters its antioxidative activity. Role of CSE in contributing to cellular antioxidative mechanisms in cell lines of peripheral tissue origin. Knockdown of CSE does not result in significant spontaneous cell death, indicating that CSE is not vital for cell survival in the cell lines studied | Homo sapiens |
