The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is involved in the occurrence of diabetes and hypertension. However, the mechanism by which obesity is related to T2DM induced hypertension is unclear. In this study, we observed that blood pressure and serum renin content were increased in patients with diabetes and hypertension. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as an endogenous bioactive molecule, has been shown to be a vasodilator. Db\/db mice, characterized by obesity and T2DM, and juxtaglomerular (JG) cells, which line the afferent arterioles at the entrance of the glomeruli to produce renin, treated with glucose, palmitic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA), were used as animal and cellular models. NaHS, the H2S donor, was administered to db\/db mice through intraperitoneal injection. NaHS significantly alleviated blood pressure in db\/db mice, decreased the renin content in the serum of db\/db mice and reduced renin secretion from JG cells. NaHS modulated renin release via cAMP and soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs), including synaptosome-associated protein 23 (SNAP23) and vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2), which mediate renin exocytosis. Furthermore, NaHS increased the levels of autophagy-related proteins and colocalization with EGFP-LC3 puncta with renin-containing granules and VAMP2 to consume excessive renin to maintain intracellular homeostasis. Therefore, exogenous H2S attenuates renin release and promotes renin-vesicular autophagy to relieve diabetes-induced hypertension.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24021690","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T02:29:55Z","timestamp":1673836195000},"page":"1690","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Exogenous H2S Attenuates Hypertension by Regulating Renin Exocytosis under Hyperglycaemic and Hyperlipidaemic Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ning","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siyuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urologic Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingxue","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiayi","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urologic Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"He","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weihua","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2239","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(17)30058-2","article-title":"Type 2 diabetes","volume":"389","author":"Chatterjee","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"601","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(12)60987-8","article-title":"Diabetes and hypertension: The bad companions","volume":"380","author":"Ferrannini","year":"2012","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"124","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1559-4564.2007.06368.x","article-title":"Diabetes and hypertension: Epidemiology of the relationship and pathophysiology of factors associated with these comorbid conditions","volume":"2","author":"Schutta","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
