Lysosomes finely control macrophage inflammatory function via regulating the release of lysosomal Fe2+ through TRPML1 channel by Yanhong Xing, Meng-meng Wang, Feifei Zhang, Tianli Xin, Xinyan Wang, Rong Chen, Zhongheng Sui, Yawei Dong, Dongxue Xu, Xingyu Qian, Qixia Lu, Qingqing Li, Weijie Cai, Meiqin Hu, Yuqing Wang, Jun-li Cao, Derong Cui, Jiansong Qi, Wuyang Wang

“…Abstract Lysosomes are best known for their roles in inflammatory responses by engaging in autophagy to remove inflammasomes. Here, we describe an unrecognized role for the lysosome, showing that it finely controls macrophage inflammatory function by manipulating the lysosomal Fe2+—prolyl hydroxylase domain enzymes (PHDs)—NF-κB—interleukin 1 beta (IL1B) transcription pathway that directly links lysosomes with inflammatory responses. …”
