PG - 15226 LID - 10.1038/s41598-018-33149-9 [doi] LID - 15226 AB - Previously, we have shown hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) to have a detrimental effect on bone remodeling, which is associated with osteoporosis. During transsulfuration, Hcy is metabolized into hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), a gasotransmitter molecule known to regulate bone formation. Therefore, in the present study, we examined whether H(2)S ameliorates HHcy induced epigenetic and molecular alterations leading to osteoporotic bone loss. To test this mechanism, we employed cystathionine-beta-synthase heterozygote knockout mice, fed with a methionine rich diet (CBS(+/-) +Met), supplemented with H(2)S-donor NaHS for 8 weeks. Treatment with NaHS, normalizes plasma H(2)S, and completely prevents trabecular bone loss in CBS(+/-) mice. Our data showed that HHcy caused inhibition of HDAC3 activity and subsequent inflammation by imbalancing redox homeostasis. The mechanistic study revealed that inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha) are transcriptionally activated by an acetylated lysine residue in histone (H3K27ac) of chromatin by binding to its promoter and subsequently regulating gene expression. A blockade of HDAC3 inhibition in CBS(+/-) mice by HDAC activator ITSA-1, led to the remodeling of histone landscapes in the genome and thereby attenuated histone acetylation-dependent inflammatory signaling. We also confirmed that RUNX2 was sulfhydrated by administration of NaHS. Collectively, restoration of H(2)S may provide a novel treatment for CBS-deficiency induced metabolic osteoporosis.
