    Abstract Malignant tumors are characterized by a hypoxic microenvironment, and metabolic reprogramming is necessary to ensure energy production and oxidative stress resistance. Although the microenvironmental properties of tumors vary under acute and chronic hypoxia, studies on chronic hypoxia-induced metabolic changes are limited. In the present study, we performed a comprehensive metabolic analysis in a chronic hypoxia model using colorectal cancer (CRC) organoids, and identified an amino acid supply system through the γ-glutamyl cycle, a glutathione recycling pathway. We analyzed the metabolic changes caused by hypoxia over time and observed that chronic hypoxia resulted in an increase in 5-oxoproline and a decrease in oxidized glutathione (GSSG) compared to acute hypoxia. These findings suggest that chronic hypoxia induces metabolic changes in the γ-glutamyl cycle. Moreover, inhibition of the γ-glutamyl cycle via γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase (GGCT) and γ-glutamyl transferase 1 (GGT1) knockdown significantly reversed chronic hypoxia-induced upregulation of 5-oxoproline and several amino acids. Notably, GGT1 knockdown downregulated the intracellular levels of γ-glutamyl amino acids. Conclusively, these results indicate that the γ-glutamyl cycle serves as an amino acid supply system in CRC under chronic hypoxia, which provides fresh insight into cancer metabolism under chronic hypoxia.

    Abstract Gastroparesis, characterized by a decrease in gastric emptying, can lead to worsened diabetes control and a reduced quality of life. The patient was a 32-year-old male with type 2 diabetes. He was initially admitted for control of diabetes, and two months later, he was readmitted due to nausea and vomiting. He showed resistance to various drugs, including antiemetics, and an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed significant gastric residue, leading to a diagnosis of gastroparesis. We administered intravenous erythromycin. After three days of treatment, the vomiting resolved. Gastroparesis is challenging to manage, and there are limited effective treatment options. We experienced a case of diabetic gastroparesis with severe vomiting and loss of appetite that responded remarkably well to intravenous erythromycin treatment. Intravenous administration of erythromycin may be a potentially effective treatment for gastroparesis.

    Abstract The creation of unidirectional ion transporters across membranes represents one of the greatest challenges in chemistry. Proton-pumping rhodopsins are composed of seven transmembrane helices with a retinal chromophore bound to a lysine side chain via a Schiff base linkage and provide valuable insights for designing such transporters. What makes these transporters particularly intriguing is the discovery of both outward and inward proton-pumping rhodopsins. Surprisingly, despite sharing identical overall structures and membrane topologies, these proteins facilitate proton transport in opposite directions, implying an underlying rational mechanism that can transport protons in different directions within similar protein structures. In this study, we unraveled this mechanism by examining the chromophore structures of deprotonated intermediates in schizorhodopsins, a recently discovered subfamily of inward proton-pumping rhodopsins, using time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. The photocycle of schizorhodopsins revealed the

    Abstract The patient was a 49-year-old man presenting with recurrent melena due to progressive ulcerative colitis. One day, he developed left lower facial weakness and dysarthria, and the next day, he was transferred to our hospital because of muscle weakness in his left upper and lower extremities. On admission, neurological findings revealed left hemiplegia, including left facial palsy, dysarthria, and left hemispatial neglect. Brain MRI with diffusion-weighted image showed a fresh infarction in the right anterior and middle cerebral artery territory. Contrast-enhanced CT showed thrombus in the ascending aorta in addition to occlusion of the right internal carotid artery, suggesting the diagnosis of cerebral infarction with an embolic source in the aortic lesion. The intra-aortic thrombus disappeared after 48th day of antithrombotic therapy. Laboratory findings revealed elevated blood viscosity, proteinase-3-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA), and β2GP1-IgG antibodies, suggesting that the cause of the aortic thrombus may be due to elevated blood viscosity and autoantibodies, as well as highly active ulcerative colitis.

    Abstract The properties of a prosthetic group are broadened by interactions with its neighboring residues in proteins. The retinal chromophore in rhodopsins absorbs light, undergoes structural changes, and drives functionally important structural changes in proteins during the photocycle. It is therefore crucial to understand how chromophore-protein interactions regulate the molecular structure and electronic state of chromophores in rhodopsins. Schizorhodopsin is a newly discovered subfamily of rhodopsins found in the genomes of Asgard archaea, which are extant prokaryotes closest to the last common ancestor of eukaryotes and of other microbial species. Here, we report the effects of a hydrogen bond between a retinal Schiff base and its counterion on the twist of the polyene chain and the color of the retinal chromophore. Correlations between spectral features revealed the unexpected fact that the twist of the polyene chain is reduced as the hydrogen bond becomes stronger, suggesting that the twist is caused by tight atomic contacts between the chromophore and nearby residues. In addition, the strength of the hydrogen bond is the primary factor affecting the color-tuning of the retinal chromophore in schizorhodopsins. The findings of this study are valuable for manipulating the molecular structure and electronic state of the chromophore by controlling chromophore-protein interactions.
