This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of H2S-induced vasorelaxation. Vasorelaxation responses to the H2S donor NaHS and the H2S precursor L-cysteine were examined by measuring isometric tone of mouse aortic rings in a small vessel myograph. H2S concentrations in Krebs' solution were determined with a polarographic sensor. H2S expression was examined by Western blot, and H2S production from CSE was assayed using a spectroscopic method. In pre-constricted mouse aorta, NaHS (1 mu M-3 mM) elicited vasorelaxation of 95+/-7%, EC50 189+/-69 mu M. This response was unaffected by removal of the endothelium. Maximum vasorelaxation was significantly attenuated by global blockade of K+ channels (50 mM K+) and the K-ATP channel blocker glibenclamide (10 mu M) alone (P
