The lymphatic network is pivotal for various physiological functions in the human body. Accumulated evidence supports the role of therapeutic lymphangiogenesis in the treatment of several pathologies. Endogenous gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been extensively studied for its potential as a pro-angiogenic factor and vascular function modulator. However, the role of H2S in governing lymphatic vessel formation, and underlying molecular mechanisms are understudied. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of H2S donor sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) on lymphatic vascularization and pro-angiogenic signaling pathways using both in vitro and in vivo approaches. In vitro dose-response experiments showed increased proliferation and tube formation by NaHS-treated human lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) compared with control cells. Immunoblotting performed with LEC lysates prepared after time-course NaHS treatment demonstrated increased activation of ERK1/2, AKT and eNOS after 20 min of NaHS stimulation. Further, NaHS treatment induced nitric oxide production, reduced reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted cell cycle in LECs. Additional cell cycle analysis showed that NaHS treatment abrogates oxidized LDL-induced cell cycle arrest in LECs. The results of in vivo Matrigel plug assay revealed increased lymphatic vessel density in Matrigel plugs containing NaHS compared with control plugs, however, no significant differences in angiogenesis and immune cell infiltration were observed. Collectively, these findings suggest that H2S donor NaHS promotes lymphatic vessel formation both in vitro and in vivo and may be utilized to promote reparative lymphangiogenesis to alleviate lymphatic dysfunction-related disorders.
