PG - 686-698.e4 LID - S2451-9456(19)30037-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chembiol.2019.02.003 [doi] AB - Cysteine persulfide and cysteine polysulfides are cysteine derivatives having sulfane sulfur atoms bound to cysteine thiol. Accumulating evidence has suggested that cysteine persulfides/polysulfides are abundant in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and play important roles in diverse biological processes such as antioxidant host defense and redox-dependent signal transduction. Here, we show that enhancement of cellular polysulfides by using polysulfide donors developed in this study resulted in marked inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-initiated macrophage activation. Polysulfide donor treatment strongly suppressed LPS-induced pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages by inhibiting Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Other TLR signaling stimulants-including zymosan A-TLR2 and poly(I:C)-TLR3-were also significantly suppressed by polysulfur donor treatment. Administration of polysulfide donors protected mice from lethal endotoxin shock. These data indicate that cellular polysulfides negatively regulate TLR4-mediated pro-inflammatory signaling and hence constitute a potential target for inflammatory disorders.
