This study aimed to explore the impact of hydrogen (H 2 ) on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in H9c2 cells (derived from rat embryonic heart tissue) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and to elucidate its underlying mechanism. An H/R injury model was established in H9c2 cells via exposure to 15 μM H 2 O 2 for 3 hours, followed by incubation in a 5% CO 2 atmosphere at 37°C for 24 hours. Then, the cells were treated with H 2 (50%) for 6, 12 or 24 hours. The results demonstrated that H9c2 cells exposed to H 2 O 2 and subjected to H/R injury presented a marked decrease in the cell survival rate, accompanied by severe morphological alterations, such as curling and wrinkling, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels. Notably, H 2 mitigated H/R injury induced by H 2 O 2 in a time-dependent manner, improving the morphological damage observed in H9c2 cells and decreasing lactate dehydrogenase levels. Compared with the model group, treatment with H 2 increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase, while concurrently reducing the level of malondialdehyde, an indicator of cellular damage. Furthermore, H 2 treatment downregulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory-related factors, specifically interleukin-6, high-mobility group box 1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and Toll-like receptor 4, in H9c2 cells post-H/R injury. Furthermore, H 2 treatment resulted in a marked decrease in the expression levels of proteins associated with the Wnt/C-X3-C-motif receptor 1 signaling pathway, such as β-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta, adenomatous polyposis coli, and Wnt and C-X3-C-motif receptor 1. This observation suggests a potential mechanism for its protective effects against H/R injury. Therefore, H 2 exerts a protective effect against H/R injury in H9c2 cells induced by H 2 O 2 , potentially by inhibiting the activated Wnt/C-X3-C-motif receptor 1 signaling pathway. This inhibition, in turn, prevents the generation of oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and inflammation-associated factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":18559,"journal":{"name":"Medical Gas Research","volume":" ","pages":"339-347"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11918467/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142603826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research on its other potentially beneficial effects suggests that xenon may have broad efficacy for treating health disorders. A number of reviews on xenon applications have been published, but none have focused on substance use disorders. Accordingly, we review xenon effects and targets relevant to the treatment of substance use disorders, with a focus on opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. We report that xenon inhaled at subsedative concentrations inhibits conditioned memory reconsolidation and opioid withdrawal symptoms. We review work by others reporting on the antidepressant, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties of xenon, which could diminish negative affective states and pain. We discuss research supporting the possibility that xenon could prevent analgesic- or stress-induced opioid tolerance and, by so doing could reduce the risk of developing opioid use disorder. The rapid kinetics, favorable safety and side effect profiles, and multitargeting capability of xenon suggest that it could be used as an ambulatory on-demand treatment to rapidly attenuate maladaptive memory, physical and affective withdrawal symptoms, and pain drivers of substance use disorders when they occur. Xenon may also have human immunodeficiency virus and oncology applications because its effects relevant to substance use disorders could be exploited to target human immunodeficiency virus reservoirs, human immunodeficiency virus protein-induced abnormalities, and cancers. Although xenon is expensive, low concentrations exert beneficial effects, and gas separation, recovery, and recycling advancements will lower xenon costs, increasing the economic feasibility of its therapeutic use. More research is needed to better understand the remarkable repertoire of effects of xenon and its potential therapeutic applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":18559,"journal":{"name":"Medical Gas Research","volume":" ","pages":"234-253"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11918480/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142984236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several physiological and pathological processes were affected by the key gases, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide. Oxygen targets shrinking the tumor via hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and once combined with radiation therapy it enhances its effect. Nitric oxide has both anti- and pro-tumor effects depending on its level; at high doses, it triggers cell death while at low doses it supports cancer growth. The same concept is applied to hydrogen sulfide which promotes cancer growth by enhancing mitochondrial bioenergetics and supporting angiogenesis at low concentrations, while at high concentrations it induces cancer cell death while sparing normal cells. Furthermore, carbon dioxide helps induce apoptosis and improve oxygenation for cancer treatments by increasing the release of oxygen from hemoglobin. Moreover, high-dose carbon monoxide gas therapy has demonstrated significant tumor reductions in vivo and is supported by nanomedicine and specialized medicines to boost its delivery to tumor cells and the availability of hydrogen peroxide. Despite the promising potentials of these gases, several challenges remain.
