In young female mice with monosodium acetate-induced joint degeneration and pain, we assessed: (1) the effects of CORM-2 (tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II)dimer), a CO-releasing molecule, and CoPP (cobalt protoporphyrin IX), an inducer of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), administered alone and combined with low doses of two slow-releasing H2S donors, DADS (diallyl disulfide) and GYY4137 (morpholin-4-ium 4-methoxyphenyl(morpholino) phosphinodithioate dichloromethane complex) on the mechanical allodynia and loss of grip strength provoked by joint degeneration; (2) the role of Nrf2, NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and HO-1 in the antinociceptive actions of H2S donors; (3) the impact of DADS and GYY4137 treatment on the expression of Nrf2 and several antioxidant proteins in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and periaqueductal gray matter (PAG). Our data showed that treatment with H2S donors inhibited allodynia and functional deficits, while CORM-2 and CoPP only prevented allodynia. The Nrf2 pathway is implicated in the analgesic actions of DADS and GYY4137 during joint degeneration. Moreover, the co-administration of low doses of CORM-2 or CoPP with DADS or GYY4137 produced higher antiallodynic effects and greater recovery of grip strength deficits than those produced by each of these compounds alone. The activation of the antioxidant system caused by H2S donors in DRG and\/or PAG might explain the enhancement of antinociceptive effects. These data reveal a positive interaction between H2S and CO in modulating joint pain in female mice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox11071271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]],"date-time":"2022-06-27T22:31:14Z","timestamp":1656369074000},"page":"1271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The Interaction between Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide during Chronic Joint Pain in Young Female Mice"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Gerard","family":"Batall\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grup de Neurofarmacologia Molecular, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica Sant Pau (IIB Sant Pau), 08041 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Grup de Neurofarmacologia Molecular, Institut de Neuroci\u00e8ncies, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xue","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grup de Neurofarmacologia Molecular, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica Sant Pau (IIB Sant Pau), 08041 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Grup de Neurofarmacologia Molecular, Institut de Neuroci\u00e8ncies, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4621-8457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Pol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grup de Neurofarmacologia Molecular, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica Sant Pau (IIB Sant Pau), 08041 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Grup de Neurofarmacologia Molecular, Institut de Neuroci\u00e8ncies, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1007\/978-981-16-0991-6_9","article-title":"Interaction among Hydrogen Sulfide and Other Gasotransmitters in Mammalian Physiology and Pathophysiology","volume":"1315","author":"Huang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Adv.
