In this study, we further investigate the relationship between H,S and conventional protein kinase CβII （cPKCβII） in CHD patients with uremic accelerated atherosclerosis （UAAS）. Methods： A total of 30 healthy people, 30 CHD patients without AS and 30 CHD patients with AS （CHD ＋ AS） were studied. Plasma H,S was measured with a sulfide sensitive electrode, and cPKCβ11 membrane translocation was detected by Western blotting. Results： Plasma H2S in CHD ＋ AS group was significantly lower than that in CHD patients, cPKCβII membrane translocation in CHD ＋AS group increased significantly compared with CHD group. Plasma H,S concentration was negatively correlated with cPKCβ11 membrane translocation in CHD ＋ AS patients. Conclusions： These findings suggest a possible linkage between H,S metabolism and cPKCβ11 activation, which may contribute to the development of UAAS in CHD patients.展开更多
