Kenneth Olson has recently developed a theoretical model to predict how endogenouslygenerated intracellular molecules of H2S would diffuse within and outside the cells (Olson, 2013). Clarifying this question is of major interest since intracellular H2S, which is mostly present under the form of its sulfhydric anion HS−, has been hypothesized to be an important actor involved in the transduction of the response to hypoxia (Olson, 2011a).One of the major implications of Olson’s model, which suggests little, if any, diffusion outside the cytoplasm of endogenously-generated H2S, is that studies supporting a physiological role for this gas, based on its determination in the extracellular milieu-blood for in-vivo experiments or “bath” for tissular or cellular preparations-should be considered with a high degree of skepticism. This notion corroborates results from previous studies (Furne et al., 2008; Whitfield et al., 2008) wherein major methodological pitfalls preventing accurate determination of H2S/HS− in the extracellular milieu were identified, accounting for the unrealistic high (microM) baseline levels of sulfide in the blood and in tissues reported in the literature. Although attempts are being made to measure/visualize intracellular H2S/HS−(Lin et al., 2013), theoretical models, such as the one proposed by Olson (Olson, 2013), represent an essential step in the development of a rational frame of reference aimed at predicting the fate of endogenous–or exogenous-H2S.
