Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are complex and heterogeneous compounds implicated in diabetes. Sodium reabsorption through the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) at the distal nephron plays an important role in diabetic hypertension. Here, we report that H2S antagonizes AGEs-induced ENaC activation in A6 cells. ENaC open probability(PO)in A6 cells was significantly increased by exogenous AGEs and that this AGEs-induced ENaC activity was abolished by NaHS (a donor of H2S) and TEMPOL. Incubating A6 cells with the catalase inhibitor 3-aminotriazole (3-AT) mimicked the effects of AGEs on ENaC activity, but did not induce any additive effect. We found that the expression levels of catalase were significantly reduced by AGEs and both AGEs and 3-AT facilitated ROS uptake in A6 cells, which were significantly inhibited by NaHS. The specific PTEN and PI3K inhibitors, BPV(pic) and LY294002, influence ENaC activity in AGEs-pretreated A6 cells. Moreover, after removal of AGEs from AGEs-pretreated A6 cells for 72 hours, ENaCPOremained at a high level, suggesting that an AGEs-related “metabolic memory” may be involved in sodium homeostasis. Our data, for the first time, show that H2S prevents AGEs-induced ENaC activation by targeting the ROS/PI3K/PTEN pathway.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease persists and remains life-limiting for many patients. Elevated high-mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB-1) levels and epithelial sodium channel hyperactivity (ENaC) are hallmark features of the CF lung. The objective of this study was to better understand the pathogenic role of HMGB-1 signaling and ENaC in CF airway cells. We hypothesize that HMGB-1 links airway inflammation [via signaling to the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)] and airway surface liquid dehydration (via upregulation of ENaC) in the CF lung. We calculated equivalent short-current ( Isc) and single-channel ENaC open probability ( Po) in normal and CF human small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) in the presence and absence of human HMGB-1 peptide (0.5 μg/mL). In normal SAECs, HMGB-1 increased amiloride-sensitive Isc and elevated ENaC Po from 0.15 ± 0.03 to 0.28 ± 0.04 ( P < 0.01). In CF SAECs, ENaC Po increased from 0.45 ± 0.06 to 0.73 ± 0.04 ( P < 0.01). Pretreatment with 1 μM FPS-ZM1 (a RAGE inhibitor) attenuated all HMGB-1 effects on ENaC current in normal and CF SAECs. Confocal analysis of SAECs indicates that nuclear size and HMBG-1 localization can be impacted by ENaC dysfunction. Masson’s trichrome labeling of mouse lung showed that intraperitoneally injected HMGB-1 significantly increased pulmonary fibrosis. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from HMGB-1-treated mice showed significant increases in IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, IL-27, IL-17A, IFN-β, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor compared with vehicle-injected mice ( P < 0.05). These studies put forth a new model in which HMGB-1 signaling to RAGE plays an important role in perpetuating ENaC dysfunction and inflammation in the CF lung.
