The objective of this research is to establish an evaluation system of metabolites by capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) in response to chemical stress using the unicellular genome model, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288C). A method previously reported by Soga et al. was modified and validated for the determination of sulfur-related metabolites, 23 cationic metabolites, in yeast extract. A mixture of 5 mM formic acid in 50% (v/v) 2-propanol was used for the sheath liquid to improve the detection sensitivity. Moreover, washing of CE capillary with 0.1M ammonia solution between successive runs enhanced the reproducibility. After analytical validation, the method was applied to the metabolomic analysis of yeast cells in response to cadmium (Cd) stress. Under Cd exposure, some interesting observations were obtained, particularly the depletion of glycine and the strong accumulation of L-gamma-glutamylcysteine in yeast cells.

Article Synopsis
- Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS)-deficient homocystinuria (HCU) is a genetic disorder affecting sulfur amino acid metabolism, leading to various health complications and underscoring the need for better understanding of its biological processes.
- In a study involving a transgenic mouse model (I278T), researchers found significant metabolic imbalances, altered liver proteome, and changes in sphingolipid metabolism, although mitochondrial function appeared normal.
- A methionine-restricted diet (MRD) was shown to improve metabolic balance and reduce liver proteome disruptions in I278T mice, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for HCU.

Therapy using hot springs, including the high-level radioactive gas "radon", is traditionally conducted as an alternative treatment for various diseases. Oxidative-stress-related diseases are inhibited by the enhancement of antioxidative functions following radon inhalation. We have reported that radon inhalation increased the level of anti-oxidants, such as glutathione (G-SH), in the brain and had a protective antioxidative effect against transient global cerebral ischemic injury.

Metabolic homeostasis is vital for individual cells to keep alive. Stronger metabolic homeostasis allows bacteria to survive in vivo and do persistent harm to hosts, which is especially typical in implant-associated infection (IAI) with biofilm intervention. Herein, based on the competitive role of selenium (Se) and sulfur (S) in bacteria metabolism as congeners, a congener-induced sulfur-related metabolism interference therapy (SMIT) eradicating IAI is proposed by specific destruction of bacteria metabolic homeostasis.

The uptake of sulfate by roots and its reductive assimilation mainly in the leaves are not only essential for plant growth and development but also for defense responses against biotic and abiotic stresses. The latter functions result in stimulus-induced fluctuations of sulfur demand at the cellular level. However, the maintenance and acclimation of sulfur homeostasis at local and systemic levels is not fully understood.
