The Role of Hydrogen Sulfide Regulation of Autophagy in Liver Disorders

Autophagy is a complex process of degradation of senescent or dysfunctional organelles in cells. Dysfunctional autophagy is associated with many diseases such as cancers, immune dysfunction, and aging. Hydrogen sulfide (H S) is considered to be the third gas signal molecule after nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide. In recent years, H S has been found to have a variety of important biological functions, and plays an important role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we review the recent role and mechanism of H S in regulating autophagy in liver disorders, in order to provide a basis for further research in the future.
