Metabolic pathways supporting long-term anaerobic cell viability have not been identified. The effect NO and H2S pathway effectors have on HeLa 229 cell viability was measured after 10 days anaerobic incubation. The addition of arginine or xanthine (NO pathway precursors) consistently increased HeLa cell viability by 13.1- and 4.4-fold, respectively. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, also increased viability, as compared to control levels. In contrast, inhibition of iNOS by 1400W increased cell viability by 79-fold. Regarding the H2S pathway, precursor cysteine enhanced viability by 9.8-fold with the greatest number of viable cells measured in response to the presence of a H2S donor (GYY4137), or an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, propargylglycine (40- and 85-fold, respectively). These results demonstrate that the constitutive level of cell viability after extended (10 days) growth without oxygen can be modulated by affecting NO or H2S generating pathways.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
