Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is emerging as bioactive substance with various physiological functions. H2S is enzymatically produced from cysteine by 3 kinds of sulfurtransferases, then is oxidized to polysulfides whose function is not well understood. We previously reported that polysulfides induce Ca2+ influx in astrocytes. However, the receptor that mediates the response has not been identified. Here, we have shown that polysulfides induce Ca2+ influx by activating transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 (TRPA1) channels in rat astrocytes. The maximum response is induced by 0.5 μM polysulfide, which is about 1/300 of the concentration of H2S required to achieve a response of similar magnitude. TRPA1-selective agonists, allyl isothiocyanate and cinnamaldehyde, induced Ca2+ influx, and responses to polysulfides were suppressed by TRPA1-selective inhibitors, HC-030031 and AP-18, as well as by siRNAs selective to TRPA1. The present study suggests that polysulfides are potential H2S-derived signaling molecules that stimulate TRPA1 channels in the brain.
