ObjectiveTo summarize the mechanism of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in regulating autophagy and ameliorating multi-organ dysfunction in the treatment of sepsis.MethodThe relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years were systematically searched and read to review the mechanism of H2S in regulating autophagy and ameliorating multi-organ dysfunction during sepsis.ResultsAs a new medical gas signal molecule, H2S could regulate autophagy by regulating multiple signal pathways such as Nrf2, NF-κB, MAPK, AMPK, etc., then ameliorated multi-organ dysfunction in sepsis.ConclusionH2S inhibits inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis by regulating autophagy, thus ameliorating multi-organ dysfunction in sepsis, which is expected to become an effective therapeutic target for sepsis.
